This determination is performed by the provision availability determination unit 107. First, the provision availability determination unit 107 determines whether the location provision permission setting is set to the position provision permission state (ST63). Here, when the position provision permission / prohibition setting is set to the position provision permission state, the fact is notified to the position information provision processing unit 109. Then, a permission response signal is unconditionally generated by the position information provision processing unit 109 and sent to the mobile communication center 3 (ST67, ST69).

  If the location provision permission setting is not set to the position provision permission state, the provision permission determination unit 107 determines whether the position provision permission setting is set to the position provision rejection state (ST64). Here, when the location provision availability setting is set to the location provision rejection state, a rejection response signal is uniformly generated by the location information provision processing unit 109 and sent to the mobile communication center 3 (ST68, ST69). .

  As described above, in the mobile phone 1A according to the present embodiment, the position information provision request is rejected in accordance with the position provision permission / prohibition setting of the position information set in the apparatus body. It becomes possible to refuse the information provision request. In particular, when the location provision availability setting is set to the location provision refusal state, a rejection response signal is generated without waiting for the collation result of the Requester ID collation unit 108. It is possible to proceed quickly.

  If the location provision permission setting is not set to either the position provision permission state or the position provision rejection state, the provision permission determination unit 107 determines whether the position provision permission setting is set to the position provision limitation permission state. (ST65). Here, if the location provision availability setting is not set to the location provision limitation permission state, it is assumed that some determination error has occurred, and the process returns to ST62. If the processes of ST62 to ST65 are repeated a certain number of times, the user may be notified that a processing error has occurred and the process may be interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the location provision permission / prohibition setting is set to the location provision limitation permission state, the requester ID collation unit 108 is notified of this fact. Then, the Requester ID matching unit 108 determines whether the Requester ID included in the location provision request is registered in the phone book data (ST66).

  Here, if the Requester ID is registered in the phone book data, this is notified to the location information provision processing unit 109. Then, a permission response signal is generated by the location information provision processing unit 109 (ST67) and sent to the mobile communication center 3 via the transmission unit 104 (ST69). In this case, in the mobile communication center 3, as shown in FIG. 3, the position information of the mobile phone 1A is searched and sent to the mobile phone 1B.

  On the other hand, if the Requester ID is not registered in the phone book data, this is notified to the location information provision processing unit 109. Then, the location information provision processing unit 109 generates a rejection response signal (ST68) and sends it to the mobile communication center 3 via the transmission unit 104 (ST69). In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the mobile communication center 3 sends an error message to the mobile phone 1B without searching for the location information of the mobile phone 1A.

  As described above, in the mobile phone 1A according to the present embodiment, when the location provision permission / prohibition setting is set to the location provision limited permission state, the permission response signal or the rejection response according to the collation result of the Requester ID collation unit 108. Since the signal is transmitted, it is possible to reject a request for providing position information from a request source that is not surely recognized by the user while reflecting the intention of the user.

  In this way, when the Requester ID is registered in the phone book data, a permission response signal is generated, while when it is not registered, a rejection response signal is generated and sent to the mobile communication center 3. This allows location information to be provided in response to a location provision request from a location provision requester recognized by the user registered in the phone book data, while a user not registered in the phone book data In response to a location provision request from an unrecognized location provision requester, provision of location information can be refused.

  In addition, after receiving the location provision request from the mobile communication center 3, the control unit 102 of the mobile phone 1A determines whether to grant the location provision request to the mobile communication center 3, as shown in FIG. (ST71). This determination is performed, for example, by determining whether to generate a permission response signal in ST67 shown in FIG. Here, when permitting the location provision request, the lock setting of the telephone directory is determined (ST72), whereas when not permitting the location provision request, the processing is ended as it is.

  In ST72, it is determined whether the phone book lock setting held in the setting holding unit 113 is the phone book locked state or the phone book unlocked state. This determination is performed by the lock setting determination unit 110. Here, when the phone book lock setting is the phone book unlocked state, the current operation mode is determined (ST73, ST74), while when the phone book lock setting is the phone book locked state, the position is set. The name corresponding to the Requester ID included in the provision request is not displayed (ST78), and the Requester ID (phone number of the mobile phone 1B) is displayed.

  As described above, in the cellular phone 1A according to the present embodiment, the display of the name corresponding to the Requester ID is controlled according to the locked state of the phone book, so the name corresponding to the Requester ID is changed according to the user's intention. It is possible to display on the display unit 105 or limit the display.

  In ST73, it is determined whether the current operation mode is the A mode in the operation mode setting held in the setting holding unit 113. If the current operation mode is not the A mode, it is determined in ST74 whether the current operation mode is the B mode. These determinations are performed by the operation mode determination unit 111.

  In ST73, if the current operation mode is the A mode, the name display unit 112 is notified to that effect, and the name display control unit 112 includes the Requester ID included in the location provision request as the phonebook data for the A mode. (ST75). Here, when the Requester ID is registered in the phonebook data for A mode, the name display control unit 112 displays the name corresponding to the Requester ID (the name of the user of the mobile phone 1B) on the display unit 105. (ST77). On the other hand, if the Requester ID is not registered in the phonebook data for A mode, the name display control unit 112 does not display the name corresponding to the Requester ID (ST78), and the Requester ID (mobile phone 1B) Phone number).

  Similarly, in ST74, when the current operation mode is the B mode, the name display unit 112 is notified to that effect, and the name display control unit 112 indicates that the Requester ID included in the location provision request is for the B mode. It is determined whether it is registered in the phone book data (ST76). Here, when the Requester ID is registered in the B-mode phone book data, the name display control unit 112 displays the name corresponding to the Requester ID (the name of the user of the mobile phone 1B) on the display unit 105. (ST77). On the other hand, if the Requester ID is not registered in the B-mode phone book data, the name display control unit 112 does not display the name corresponding to the Requester ID (ST78), and the Requester ID (mobile phone 1B) Phone number).

  As described above, in the mobile phone 1A according to the present embodiment, the display of the name corresponding to the Requester ID is controlled according to the current operation mode, so the name corresponding to the required Requester ID according to the usage scene or the like. Can be displayed on the display unit 105.

  In ST73 and ST74, when the current operation mode does not correspond to either the A mode or the B mode, the operation mode determination unit 111 determines that the current operation mode is the dual mode, and displays a name to that effect. Notification to the unit 112. In this case, the name display unit 112 displays the name corresponding to the Requester ID (the name of the user of the mobile phone 1B) on the display unit 105 without determining again whether the Requester ID is registered in the phone book data ( ST77).

  Then, after displaying the name corresponding to the Requester ID in ST77, or after displaying the Requestor ID in ST78, the display is performed after a predetermined time has elapsed or after confirmation processing by the user. finish. As described above, whether or not the name corresponding to the Requester ID is displayed is switched according to the current operation mode, so that only the name corresponding to the Requester ID that the user of the mobile phone 1A desires to display is displayed on the display unit 105. It becomes possible.

  Here, the operation when a location provision request is received from the mobile phone 1B is described. However, when a location provision request based on the above-described second location search service is received from the PC 4, FIG. In ST66 shown, it is determined whether or not the telephone number of the mobile phone 1A as the Requester ID is registered in the telephone directory data. In this case, in principle, a permission response signal is generated in mobile phone 1A and sent to mobile communication center 3 (ST67, ST69). Then, in the mobile communication center 3, as shown in FIG. 5, the location information of the mobile phone 1A is searched and sent to the PC 4. As a result, the user of the PC 4 can grasp the location information of the lost mobile phone 1A.

  As described above, according to the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, the Requester ID (requester identification information) included in the location information provision request and the telephone number (contact information) registered in the telephone directory are included. Since the location information provision request is rejected according to the collation result, the request source for accepting the location information provision request can be selected based on the telephone number registered in the telephone directory, which is cumbersome for the user. Without requesting processing, it becomes possible to reject a request for providing position information from a request source not recognized by the user.

  In particular, in mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, location information provision processing section 109 rejects a location information provision request when a telephone number corresponding to the Requester ID is not registered. As a result, a request for providing location information from a request source whose telephone number is not registered in the phone book can be rejected, so it is possible to reliably reject a request for providing location information from a request source not recognized by the user. It becomes.
