Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve reception control without impeding communication of a superior sender while imposing almost no burden on a communication carrier and a user. <P>SOLUTION: Reception control is performed by an incoming side communication terminal device. As to mail transmission of a user C illegally using a communication terminal device of a user D or a user B whose ID such as a mail address is not registered in a white list, its incoming call is regulated due to being unregistered in the white list and noncoincidence of a password. The incoming call can be regulated also when ID is not registered in the white list or when the communication terminal device whose ID is registered in the white list is abused. The incoming call is not regulated in regard to mail transmission of the user B who needs a password although the ID is registered in the white list or a user A who does not need password input while the ID is registered in the white list. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a communication terminal device, and more particularly to incoming call control in a communication terminal device.

Currently, as a technology for preventing annoying calls such as wire fraud, a technology for registering a telephone number once received as a blacklist and restricting subsequent incoming calls (for example, refer to Non-Patent Document 1), or a password for a communication carrier in advance. A technique (for example, refer to Non-Patent Document 2) and the like that a communication carrier regulates incoming calls depending on whether or not a caller can input an accurate password is provided.
In particular, in the latter service, there are many similar technologies (see, for example, Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2), and these technologies play a role in preventing the unwanted telephone service. In addition, there is a technique for performing an incoming call notification only for an incoming call from a terminal having a telephone number that matches a telephone number stored in advance in the portable terminal (see, for example, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, and Patent Document 5).

JP-A-61-144161 JP-A-3-278661 JP 2001-69232 A JP 2002-223279 A JP 2005-168037 A “Junk Call Stop Service”, [online], [searched on January 24, 2006], Internet <URL: http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/service/network/annoyance_stop/> “Members Net Security”, [online], [Search January 24, 2006], Internet <URL: http://www.ntt.com/members/info02.html_03>

However, the following problems arise in the conventional method.
First of all, in the incoming call restriction by the black list, since it is not possible to register in the black list only after a nuisance call is actually received, it becomes a follow-up response. Therefore, it cannot be said that it is sufficient as a countermeasure against a nuisance call by changing the calling number or making a nuisance call due to outflow of a list.

On the other hand, a method of registering a password in a communication carrier and restricting incoming calls on the communication carrier side is not suitable for real-time incoming call restriction because registration to the communication carrier is required. At the same time, the resources of the communication carrier DB are allocated, and thus the burden on the communication carrier increases (when the paid service is used, the financial burden on the user increases). Moreover, since it is impossible to set a password for each caller, there is a problem that password input is uniformly required, and communication of a good caller who does not need to input a password is hindered.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the purpose thereof is to realize incoming call control with almost no burden on communication carriers and users and without hindering communication of excellent callers. It is providing the communication terminal device which can be performed.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a communication terminal apparatus comprising: a password holding means for holding a predetermined password; and a password request means for requesting the transmission side terminal to transmit a password in response to a call from the transmission side terminal. A password verification unit that verifies a password transmitted from the calling terminal and a password held in the password holding unit; and based on a verification result of the password verification unit, an incoming call process is performed only for a call that matches the password. And incoming call control means. In this way, by performing verification using a password, when a communication terminal device is stolen or misused by another person, incoming calls from the communication terminal device can be restricted. The “call” includes a voice call, mail, SMS, and the like.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a communication terminal device comprising: a white list holding unit that holds a white list relating to an ID of a calling side terminal that permits incoming calls; a password holding unit that holds a predetermined password; Based on the collation result of the ID collating unit, the ID collating unit for collating the ID included in the call with the ID included in the white list held in the white list holding unit Password request means for requesting transmission of a password to the calling side terminal in response to a call from the calling side terminal corresponding to the ID included in the white list, the password transmitted from the calling side terminal, and the password holding A password verification means for verifying the password held in the means, and based on the verification result of the password verification means. , Characterized in that it comprises a reception control means for performing an incoming call process only calls the passwords match. In this way, by further verifying with a password, when a caller terminal device corresponding to an ID included in the whitelist is stolen or misused by another person, an incoming call from the communication terminal device is received. Can be regulated. The “call” includes a voice call, mail, SMS, and the like.

The communication terminal device according to claim 5 of the present invention further comprises storage means for storing the mail when the call from the originating terminal is transmission of mail in claim 3 or 4, wherein the incoming call control means is Based on the verification result of the password verification means, the mail from the originating terminal whose password does not match is deleted from the storage means. As described above, by deleting the stored mail based on the password verification result, it is possible to prevent the spam mail from compressing the storage capacity.
In short, in the present invention, a white list of e-mail IDs (e-mail addresses, etc.) by e-mail, SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), etc., a list of passwords for voice calls, and individual calls for the calling terminal The above problem is solved by using a password list for the terminal ID.

Further, by performing the incoming call control at the terminal, there is an effect that the incoming call control in cooperation with the terminal content information and the application (scheduler or the like) becomes easy.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings referred to in the following description, the same parts as those in the other drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals. Note that “incoming call control” in the following description refers to control of whether or not to perform a process of calling a user operating the terminal or leaving a history after receiving the communication terminal apparatus. .

(Incoming mail control by white list)
A case where mail incoming control is performed using a white list registered in a communication terminal device will be described. In this case, the communication terminal device is configured as shown in FIG. 1, for example. In the figure, the communication terminal device includes a mail storage unit 11 that temporarily stores mail from a not-shown caller terminal device, and a whitelist holding unit 12 that holds a whitelist related to the ID of the caller terminal that is permitted to receive mail. And the ID stored in the white list held in the white list holding unit 12 are compared with the ID of the mail from the calling terminal device once stored in the mail storage unit 11 And an incoming call control unit 14 that performs incoming call processing only on mail from the originating terminal corresponding to the ID included in the white list based on the collation result of the ID collation unit 13. ing.

  A case where the communication terminal device configured as described above operates as a receiving terminal will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, the mail (step S101) transmitted from the calling terminal device is temporarily stored in the mail storage unit 11 (step S102). For the mail stored in the mail storage unit 11, the ID collation unit 13 collates the ID included in the mail with the ID included in the white list held in the white list holding unit 12 ( Steps S103 and S104).

For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the white list is a list of IDs assigned to the terminal device on the transmission side, such as a mail address. The ID collation unit 13 collates whether the same ID as the ID included in the mail exists in the white list. Returning to FIG. 2, the collation result of the ID collation unit 13 is sent to the incoming call control unit 14 (step S105).
In the case of a collation result indicating that the mail is from the originating terminal corresponding to the ID included in the white list, the incoming call control unit 14 performs incoming call processing (steps S106 → S107). That is, a ring tone is output or a vibration function is operated to notify the user that an incoming mail has been received. On the other hand, in the case of a collation result indicating that it is not mail from the originating terminal device corresponding to the ID included in the white list, the incoming call control unit 14 does not notify the user that an incoming mail has been received. That is, no call is made to the user.

Since the incoming mail control is performed as described above, the user of the receiving terminal device can only see the contents of the mail from the calling terminal corresponding to the ID included in the white list. Therefore, the communication terminal device can realize incoming call control with almost no burden on the communication carrier or user and without hindering the communication of a good caller.
Further, the incoming call control unit 14 may delete the mail from the sending terminal device corresponding to the ID not included in the white list from the mail storage unit 11 based on the collation result of the ID collation unit 13 ( Steps S106 → S108 → S109). As described above, by deleting the stored mail based on the ID collation result, it is possible to prevent the spam mail and the like from pressing the storage capacity of the mail storage unit 11. It should be noted that the mail from the calling terminal device corresponding to the ID not included in the white list may be deleted from the incoming call history so that no record of the mail is left.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an outline of the above operation. In the figure, when a call is made from the caller communication terminal device to the callee communication terminal device (S11), the callee communication terminal device checks the ID (email address, etc.) of the caller communication terminal device against the white list. Then, it is determined whether or not the incoming call is possible (S12). Then, based on the collation result, incoming processing is performed only for the mail from the originating terminal corresponding to the ID included in the white list (S13). Thereby, the spam mail from the third party who is not described in the white list can be prevented in advance. Further, by combining with a password list described later, it is possible to provide a mechanism that does not require an excellent caller to input a password.

(Incoming mail control by password list)
A case where mail incoming control is performed using a password list registered in a communication terminal device will be described. In this case, the communication terminal apparatus is configured as shown in FIG. 5, for example. In the figure, a communication terminal device includes a mail storage unit 11 that temporarily stores a mail from a not-shown calling-side terminal device, a password list holding unit 15 that holds a list of predetermined passwords, and a calling-side terminal device. A password request unit 16 for requesting a password, and a password transmitted from the transmitting terminal and a password stored in the password list holding unit 15 for the mail from the transmitting terminal device once stored in the mail storage unit 11 And the incoming call control unit 14 which performs incoming call processing only on the mail whose password matches, based on the verification result of the password verification unit 17.

A case where the communication terminal device configured as described above operates as a receiving terminal will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, the mail (step S201) transmitted from the transmitting terminal device is temporarily stored in the mail storage unit 11 (step S202). The password request unit 16 that has detected the reception of the mail requests the transmitting terminal device to input a password (steps S203 → S204). The password may be, for example, numbers or texts input by operating a dial button or the like, and voices input from a transmission microphone of a terminal device. A combination of both may be used as a password.
In the calling terminal device, a password is input (step S205). When the password is transmitted from the transmission side terminal device (steps S206 and S207), the password verification unit 17 verifies the password and the password held in the password list holding unit 15 (step S208).

  In the password list, for example, a common password is set for all calling terminal devices as shown in FIG. 3B, and a password for a specific calling terminal device ID is set as shown in FIG. 3C. One having a different password set for each ID of each transmitting terminal device as shown in FIG. A plurality of passwords may be set and a determination may be made as to whether they match any of those passwords. Further, the IDs of the transmission side terminal devices may be grouped and a common password may be set for the IDs belonging to the same group. The password collation unit 17 collates the password transmitted from the transmission side terminal device with the password held in the password list holding unit 15. Returning to FIG. 6, the verification result of the password verification unit 17 is sent to the incoming call control unit 14 (step S209).

  In the case of a collation result indicating that the passwords match, the incoming call control unit 14 performs incoming call processing (steps S210 → S211). That is, a ring tone is output or a vibration function is operated to notify the user that an incoming mail has been received. On the other hand, in the case of a collation result indicating that the passwords do not match, the incoming call control unit 14 does not notify the user that an incoming mail has been received. That is, no call is made to the user.

Since the incoming call control is performed as described above, the user of the incoming call side terminal device can view the contents of only the mail from the outgoing call side terminal whose password matches. In this way, by performing verification using a password, when a communication terminal device is stolen or misused by another person, incoming calls from the communication terminal device can be restricted.
Further, the incoming call control unit 14 may delete, from the mail storage unit 11, the mail from the originating terminal device whose password does not match based on the verification result of the password verification unit 17 (steps S 210 → S 212 → S 213). ). As described above, by deleting the stored mail based on the password verification result, it is possible to avoid the spam mail and the like from pressing the storage capacity of the mail storage unit 11. It should be noted that mail from the originating terminal device whose password does not match may be deleted from the incoming call history so that no record of the mail is left.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an outline of an operation in the case where a plurality of passwords are set and it is determined whether they match any of those passwords. In the figure, when there is a call from the calling communication terminal device to the receiving communication terminal device (S21), the receiving communication terminal device requests a password from the calling communication terminal device (S22, S23). When a password request response is transmitted from the calling communication terminal device (S24), the receiving communication terminal device checks the password against the password list stored in the own terminal device according to the response to determine whether or not the call can be received. Judgment is made (S25). Then, based on the collation result, the incoming process is performed only for the mail whose password matches (S26). In this way, by performing verification using a password, when a communication terminal device is stolen or misused by another person, incoming calls from the communication terminal device can be restricted.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an outline of the operation when a password is set for the ID of a specific calling terminal device. In the same figure, when a call is made from the calling communication terminal device to the receiving communication terminal device (S21), the receiving communication terminal device, when the ID of the calling terminal device is registered in the password list, A password is requested to the communication terminal device (S22 ′, S23). When a password request response is transmitted from the originating communication terminal device (S24 '), the receiving communication terminal device checks the password against the password list stored in its own terminal device according to the response to determine whether or not to accept the incoming call. Is determined (S25 ′). Then, based on the collation result, the incoming process is performed only for the mail whose password matches (S26). In this way, by performing verification using a password, it is possible to regulate incoming calls when an unauthorized third party uses the calling communication terminal device or incoming calls when the calling number is forged and notified. .

(Incoming mail control by white list and password list)
A case where the incoming mail control is performed using the white list and password list registered in the communication terminal device will be described. In this case, the communication terminal apparatus is configured as shown in FIG. 9, for example. In the figure, the communication terminal device includes a mail storage unit 11 that temporarily stores mail from a not-shown caller terminal device, and a whitelist holding unit 12 that holds a whitelist related to the ID of the caller terminal that is permitted to receive mail. And the ID stored in the white list held in the white list holding unit 12 are compared with the ID of the mail from the calling terminal device once stored in the mail storage unit 11 ID collating unit 13 to perform, password list holding unit 15 that retains a list of predetermined passwords, and the terminal device corresponding to the ID included in the white list based on the collation result of ID collating unit 13 The password request unit 16 that requests a password and the mail from the terminal device on the transmission side that is once stored in the mail storage unit 11 The password verification unit 17 that verifies the password transmitted from the originating terminal and the password stored in the password list storage unit 15, and only the mail that matches the password is received based on the verification result of the password verification unit 17. And an incoming call control unit 14 that performs processing.

  A case where the communication terminal device configured as described above operates as a receiving terminal will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, the mail (step S301) transmitted from the transmission side terminal device is temporarily stored in the mail storage unit 11 (step S302). For the mail stored in the mail storage unit 11, the ID collation unit 13 collates the ID included in the mail with the ID included in the white list held in the white list holding unit 12 ( Steps S303 and S304). The white list is configured, for example, as shown in FIG. The verification result of the ID verification unit 13 is sent to the password request unit 16 and the incoming call control unit 14 (step S305).

  In the case of a collation result indicating that the mail is not from the originating terminal device corresponding to the ID included in the white list, the incoming call control unit 14 does not notify the user that an incoming mail has been received. That is, no call is made to the user. In this case, the incoming call control unit 14 may delete the mail from the calling terminal device corresponding to the ID not included in the white list from the mail storage unit 11 based on the collation result of the ID collation unit 13. (Steps S306 → S307 → S308). As described above, by deleting the stored mail based on the ID collation result, it is possible to prevent the spam mail and the like from pressing the storage capacity of the mail storage unit 11. It should be noted that the mail from the calling terminal device corresponding to the ID not included in the white list may be deleted from the incoming call history so that no record of the mail is left.

  On the other hand, in the case of a collation result indicating that the mail is from the originating terminal corresponding to the ID included in the white list, the incoming call control unit 14 instructs the password request unit 16 to request a password (step S309). . Thereby, the password request | requirement part 16 requests | requires the input of a password to the transmission side terminal device (step S310). The password may be, for example, numbers or texts input by operating a dial button or the like, or voices input from a transmission microphone of a terminal device. A combination of both may be used as a password.

  In the calling terminal device, a password is input (step S311). When the password is transmitted from the calling terminal device (steps S312 and S313), the password verification unit 17 verifies the password and the password held in the password list holding unit 15 (step S314). The password list is configured as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3D, for example. The verification result of the password verification unit 17 is sent to the incoming call control unit 14 (step S315).

  In the case of a collation result indicating that the passwords match, the incoming call control unit 14 performs incoming call processing (steps S316 → S317). That is, the incoming call control unit 14 outputs a ring tone or operates a vibration function to notify the user that an incoming mail has been received. On the other hand, in the case of a collation result indicating that the passwords do not match, the incoming call control unit 14 does not notify the user that an incoming mail has been received. That is, no call is made to the user.

  In order to perform incoming call control as described above, the user of the receiving terminal device sees only the contents of the mail from the calling terminal corresponding to the ID included in the white list that matches the password. be able to. In this way, by further checking with a password, when a communication terminal device is stolen or misused by another person, incoming calls from the communication terminal device can be restricted.

  Further, the incoming call control unit 14 may delete, from the mail storage unit 11, the mail from the originating terminal device whose password does not match based on the verification result of the password verification unit 17 (steps S316 → S318 → S319). ). As described above, by deleting the stored mail based on the password verification result, it is possible to avoid the spam mail and the like from pressing the storage capacity of the mail storage unit 11. It should be noted that mail from the originating terminal device whose password does not match may be deleted from the incoming call history so that no record of the mail is left.

(Use of white password list)
Incidentally, the incoming mail control may be performed using a white password list obtained by integrating the white list and the password list. For example, as shown in FIG. 3E, a list in which both are integrated is created, and a separate password is set for each ID of the calling terminal device. And it is also possible to set an unnecessary password for the ID of a specific calling terminal device such as a close person or family member.

An example of operation when the white password list of FIG. 3E is used will be described with reference to FIG.
In the figure, a user A who is registered in the white list and does not need a password, a user B who is registered in the white list but needs a password, a user C who illegally uses the user B's communication terminal device, and registered in the white list The operation in the case where a user D who has not been sent sends a mail to Bob's communication terminal device is shown.

(1) Transmission from unregistered terminal in white list When user D whose ID is not registered in the white list transmits mail to Bob (S31), in Bob's communication terminal apparatus, the ID of user D's communication terminal apparatus is It is verified whether or not it is registered in the white list (S32). As a result of the collation, since the ID is not registered, incoming calls from the user D are restricted (S33). As a result, no call is made to Bob. Thereby, the incoming call from the communication terminal device of the user D whose ID is not registered in the white list can be prevented in advance.

(2) Transmission by Unauthorized Use of Whitelisted Terminal When User C who illegally uses User B's communication terminal device transmits an email to Bob (S31), Bob's communication terminal device uses User B's communication terminal. It is checked whether or not the device ID is registered in the white list (S32). As a result of the collation, since the ID is registered, the user C is requested to input a password (S34).
In response to this request, the user C inputs a password (S35). Bob's communication terminal device collates the password input by the user C with a preset password (S36).
In this case, since the user C cannot input a correct password, the passwords do not match. For this reason, the incoming call from the user C is restricted (S37), and the call to Bob is not performed. Thus, even when a user other than the user abuses a communication terminal device whose ID is registered in the white list and transmits a mail to Bob, the incoming call can be restricted.

(3) Transmission by a terminal that is registered in the white list and requires password input When a user B whose ID is registered in the white list but requires a password transmits a mail to Bob (S31), in Bob's communication terminal device, It is checked whether or not the ID of the communication terminal device of user B is registered in the white list (S32). As a result of the collation, since the ID is registered, the user B is requested to input a password (S34).

In response to this request, user B enters a password (S35). Bob's communication terminal apparatus collates the password input by user B with a preset password (S36).
In this case, since the input password matches the preset password, the incoming call from the user B is permitted (S37), and the call to Bob is performed. As a result, as in the case described above, it is possible to restrict incoming calls when someone other than the person abuses the communication terminal device.

(4) Transmission by a terminal that has already been whitelisted and does not require a password input When an ID is registered in the whitelist and a user A who does not need to enter a password sends a mail to Bob (S31), the communication terminal device of Bob Then, it is checked whether or not the ID of the communication terminal device of user A is registered in the white list (S32). As a result of the collation, since the ID is registered, the incoming call from the user A is permitted (S33), and the call to Bob is performed. Thereby, when close users, such as a family and a friend, transmit, the effort which inputs a password can be saved.

(Controlling incoming voice calls with a password list)
A case where voice call reception control is performed using a password list registered in the communication terminal device will be described. In this case, the communication terminal apparatus is configured as shown in FIG. 12, for example. In the figure, a communication terminal device includes a call processing unit 110 that detects and processes a voice call from an unillustrated originating side terminal device, a password list holding unit 15 that retains a list of predetermined passwords, and an originating terminal. Password request unit 16 for requesting a password from the device, password verification unit 17 for verifying the password transmitted from the originating terminal and the password stored in password list storage unit 15, and the verification result of password verification unit 17 And an incoming call control unit 14 which performs incoming call processing only for voice calls with matching passwords.

  A case where the communication terminal device configured as described above operates as a receiving terminal will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, when a voice call is sent from the calling terminal device (step S201), the call processing unit 110 detects the voice call (step S202 '). When the call processing unit 110 detects a voice call, the password requesting unit 16 requests the calling terminal device to input a password (steps S203 → S204). The password may be, for example, numbers or texts input by operating a dial button or the like, and voices input from a transmission microphone of a terminal device. A combination of both may be used as a password.

In the calling terminal device, a password is input (step S205). When the password is transmitted from the transmission side terminal device (steps S206 and S207), the password verification unit 17 verifies the password and the password held in the password list holding unit 15 (step S208).
In the password list, for example, a common password is set for all calling terminal devices as shown in FIG. 14A, and a password for a specific calling terminal device ID is set as shown in FIG. 14B. One having a different password set for each ID of each transmitting terminal device as shown in FIG. A plurality of passwords may be set and a determination may be made as to whether they match any of those passwords. Further, the IDs of the transmission side terminal devices may be grouped and a common password may be set for the IDs belonging to the same group. The password collation unit 17 collates the password transmitted from the transmission side terminal device with the password held in the password list holding unit 15. Returning to FIG. 13, the verification result of the password verification unit 17 is sent to the incoming call control unit 14 (step S209).

  In the case of a collation result indicating that the passwords match, the incoming call control unit 14 performs incoming call processing (steps S210 → S211). That is, a ring tone is output or a vibration function is operated to notify the user that a voice call has been received. On the other hand, in the case of a collation result indicating that the passwords do not match, the incoming call control unit 14 does not notify the user that there has been an incoming voice call. That is, no call is made to the user. In this case, the call processing unit 110 disconnects the call (steps S210 → S212 → S213 ′).

  Since the voice call incoming control is performed as described above, the user of the receiving terminal device can perform incoming processing only for the voice call from the calling terminal whose password matches. In this way, by performing verification using a password, when a communication terminal device is stolen or misused by another person, incoming calls from the communication terminal device can be restricted.

  The operation in the case where a plurality of passwords are set and it is determined whether they match any of those passwords will be described with reference to FIG. 7 again. In the figure, when there is a call from the calling communication terminal device to the receiving communication terminal device (S21), the receiving communication terminal device requests a password from the calling communication terminal device (S22, S23). When a password request response is transmitted from the calling communication terminal device (S24), the receiving communication terminal device checks the password against the password list stored in the own terminal device according to the response to determine whether or not the call can be received. Judgment is made (S25). Then, based on the collation result, the incoming call processing is performed only for the voice call whose password matches (S26). In this way, by performing verification using a password, when a communication terminal device is stolen or misused by another person, incoming calls from the communication terminal device can be restricted.

  The operation when a password for the ID of a specific originating terminal device is set will be described with reference to FIG. In the same figure, when a call is made from the calling communication terminal device to the receiving communication terminal device (S21), the receiving communication terminal device, when the ID of the calling terminal device is registered in the password list, A password is requested to the communication terminal device (S220, S23). When a password request response is transmitted from the calling communication terminal device (S240), the receiving communication terminal device checks the password against the password list stored in the own terminal device according to the response to determine whether or not the call can be received. Judgment is made (S25 ′). Then, based on the collation result, the incoming call processing is performed only for the voice call whose password matches (S26). In this way, by performing verification using a password, it is possible to regulate incoming calls when an unauthorized third party uses the calling communication terminal device or incoming calls when the calling number is forged and notified. .

(Voice call control by white list and password list)
A case where voice call incoming control is performed using the white list and password list registered in the communication terminal device will be described. In this case, the communication terminal apparatus is configured as shown in FIG. 16, for example. In the figure, the communication terminal device detects a voice call from a caller terminal device (not shown), and holds a whitelist that holds a whitelist relating to the ID of the caller terminal that is permitted to receive a voice call. Unit 12, ID collation unit 13 that collates the ID included in the voice call with the ID included in the white list held in white list holding unit 12, and holds a list of predetermined passwords The password request holding unit 15 that requests the password to the calling terminal device corresponding to the ID included in the white list based on the verification result of the password list holding unit 15 that performs the ID verification unit 13 Password verification unit 1 for verifying the password transmitted from the terminal on the side and the password stored in the password list storage unit 15 If, on the basis of the collation result of password comparison section 17 is configured to include a reception control unit 14 that performs call processing for only voice calls the passwords match.

  A case where the communication terminal device configured as described above operates as a receiving terminal will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, when a voice call is transmitted from the originating terminal device (step S301), the call processing unit 110 detects the voice call (step S302 '). When the call processing unit 110 detects a voice call, the ID collation unit 13 collates the ID included in the voice call with the ID included in the white list held in the white list holding unit 12. (Steps S303 and S304). For example, the white list is configured as shown in FIG. The verification result of the ID verification unit 13 is sent to the password request unit 16 and the incoming call control unit 14 (step S305).

In the case of a collation result indicating that the call is not a voice call from the calling terminal device corresponding to the ID included in the white list, the incoming call control unit 14 does not notify the user that there is a voice call. That is, no call is made to the user. In this case, the call processing unit 110 disconnects the call (steps S306 → S307 → S308 ′).
On the other hand, in the case of a collation result indicating that the call is a voice call from the originating terminal corresponding to the ID included in the white list, the incoming call control unit 14 instructs the password request unit 16 to request a password (step S309). ). Thereby, the password request | requirement part 16 requests | requires the input of a password to the transmission side terminal device (step S310). The password may be, for example, numbers or texts input by operating a dial button or the like, and voices input from a transmission microphone of a terminal device. A combination of both may be used as a password.

  In the calling terminal device, a password is input (step S311). When the password is transmitted from the calling terminal device (steps S312 and S313), the password verification unit 17 verifies the password and the password held in the password list holding unit 15 (step S314). The password list is configured as shown in FIGS. 14A to 14C, for example. The verification result of the password verification unit 17 is sent to the incoming call control unit 14 (step S315).

  In the case of a collation result indicating that the passwords match, the incoming call control unit 14 performs incoming call processing (steps S316 → S317). That is, the incoming call control unit 14 outputs a ring tone or operates a vibration function to notify the user that a voice call has been received. On the other hand, in the case of a collation result indicating that the passwords do not match, the incoming call control unit 14 does not notify the user that there is a voice call. That is, no call is made to the user. In this case, the call processing unit 110 disconnects the call (steps S316 → S318 → S319 ′).

  In order to perform the incoming call control as described above, the user of the receiving terminal device responds only to the voice call that matches the password among the voice calls from the calling terminal corresponding to the ID included in the white list. It will be. In this way, by performing collation using a white list and a password, when a communication terminal device is stolen or misused by another person, incoming calls from the communication terminal device can be restricted.

(Use of white password list)
By the way, voice call reception control may be performed using a white password list obtained by integrating a white list and a password list. For example, as shown in FIG. 14E, a list in which both are integrated is created, and a separate password is set for each ID of the transmission side terminal device. And it is also possible to set an unnecessary password for the ID of a specific calling terminal device such as a close person or family member.

An operation example when the white password list of FIG. 14E is used will be described with reference to FIG.
In the figure, a user A who is registered in the white list and does not need a password, a user B who is registered in the white list but needs a password, a user C who illegally uses the user B's communication terminal device, and registered in the white list The operation when the user D who has not been made makes a voice call to the communication terminal device of Bob is shown.

(1) Transmission from an unregistered white list terminal When a user D whose ID is not registered in the white list makes a voice call to Bob (S31), Bob's communication terminal apparatus uses the ID of user D's communication terminal apparatus. Is registered in the white list (S32). As a result of the collation, since the ID is not registered, incoming calls from the user D are restricted (S33). As a result, no call is made to Bob. Thereby, the incoming call from the communication terminal device of the user D whose ID is not registered in the white list can be prevented in advance.

(2) Transmission by Unauthorized Use of Whitelisted Terminal When User C who illegally uses User B's communication terminal device makes a voice call to Bob (S31), Bob's communication terminal device uses User B's communication. It is checked whether or not the terminal device ID is registered in the white list (S32). As a result of the collation, since the ID is registered, the user C is requested to input a password (S34).

In response to this request, the user C inputs a password (S35). Bob's communication terminal device collates the password input by the user C with a preset password (S36).
In this case, since the user C cannot input a correct password, the passwords do not match. For this reason, the incoming call from the user C is restricted (S37), and the call to Bob is not performed. As a result, even when a user other than the user abuses a communication terminal device whose ID is registered in the white list and makes a voice call to Bob, the incoming call can be restricted.

(3) Transmission by a terminal that is registered in the white list and requires password input When user B who has registered an ID in the white list but requires a password makes a voice call to Bob (S31), Bob's communication terminal device Whether the ID of the communication terminal device of user B is registered in the white list is checked (S32). As a result of the collation, since the ID is registered, the user B is requested to input a password (S34).

In response to this request, user B enters a password (S35). Bob's communication terminal apparatus collates the password input by user B with a preset password (S36).
In this case, since the input password matches the preset password, the incoming call from the user B is permitted (S37), and the call to Bob is performed. As a result, as in the case described above, it is possible to restrict incoming calls when someone other than the person abuses the communication terminal device.

(4) Transmission by a terminal that has already been whitelisted and does not require password input When the user A who has registered an ID in the whitelist and does not need to enter a password makes a voice call to Bob (S31), Bob's communication terminal device Checks whether the ID of the communication terminal device of user A is registered in the white list (S32). As a result of the collation, since the ID is registered, the incoming call from the user A is permitted (S33), and the call to Bob is performed. Thereby, when close users, such as a family and a friend, transmit, the effort which inputs a password can be saved.

(Summary)
If the communication terminal device described above is used, flexible incoming calls for voice calls, SMS and short mail, users who allow uniform incoming calls, users who accept incoming calls when an appropriate password is entered, and users who refuse uniform incoming calls, etc. Control can be realized. In addition, spam mail can be prevented without imposing a load on a communication carrier or user, and unauthorized incoming calls using a terminal that permits incoming calls (or spoofing of calling party numbers) can be restricted. Further, by performing the incoming call control within the terminal device, not the communication carrier or the like, the incoming call control in cooperation with the terminal content information and the application (scheduler or the like) is facilitated.

  The present invention can be used when incoming control of spam mail is performed using an ID such as a voice call, SMS or short mail.
