PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication suppression device that improves safety by preventing an accident caused by a telephone call and screen display during driving of a vehicle.SOLUTION: When an accessory switch 204 is ON, a hazard switch 206 is OFF, and an emergency switch 52 is OFF, electric power for driving is supplied from a power supply 202, interfering radio waves are emitted from an interfering radio waves emitting device 50, and a telephone call and display of an e-mail by a driver at a driver's seat 20 is suppressed. In this state, when the driver presses and turn ON an emergency switch 52, the supply of the drive power from the power supply 202 is stopped, and emission of interfering radio waves is stopped. However, in order to maintain this condition, it is necessary for the driver to continue pressing the emergency switch 52. Therefore, during the operation, it becomes difficult to operate the communication terminal, and as a result, it is necessary to stop a vehicle 100 somewhere. The driver cannot operate the communication terminal while pressing the emergency switch 52 unless the vehicle 100 is stopped and both hands are empty.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

It is a circuit block diagram which shows the structure of the drive circuit of the jamming radio emission apparatus in Example 4 of this invention.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail based on examples.

  First, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 shows the driver's seat of a vehicle such as a truck in the present embodiment. The figure (A) shows the situation seen from the top, and the situation (B) seen from the side. In these figures, a windshield 12 is provided on the front of a cabin 10 of a vehicle 100, and side glasses 14 and 16 are provided on the side. In the cabin 10, there are a driver's seat 20 and a passenger's seat 30, and in the driver's seat 20, a steering wheel (steering wheel) 22, a seat 24, a dashboard 26, and a rearview mirror 28 are disposed. These are similar to general trucks and passenger cars.

  In the present embodiment, the jamming device 50 is provided on the driver's seat 20 side and in the vicinity of the rearview mirror 28. The jamming wave emitting device 50 has a function of outputting jamming waves corresponding to various communication standards such as 3G, LTE, 4G such as mobile phones and smart phones. Further, the jamming radio emission device 50 has directivity, and the communication suppression function due to the jamming radio is limited mainly to the driver's seat 20 side, and the passenger seat 30, the rear seat (not shown), Furthermore, it is set so that there is no influence outside the vehicle. The range over which the jamming radio waves reach is, for example, a radius of about 75 cm from the center of the apparatus, and the emission angle in the vertical direction is 90 ° to 120 °. In addition, in the present embodiment, an emergency switch (EMG SW) 52 is provided at an appropriate position near the lower part of the steering wheel of the dashboard 26.

  FIG. 2A shows a drive circuit 200 for supplying driving power to the jamming radio emission device 50, and the output side of the power supply 202 is via the accessory switch 204, the hazard switch 206, and the emergency switch 52. , And is connected to the jamming device 50. Among these, as the power supply 202, an accessory power supply (ACC power supply) is used. The accessory switch 204 is normally set to be switched from off to on by turning the key. The hazard switch 206 is a switch for lighting a hazard lamp (not shown) when the hazard switch 206 is turned on.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. When the engine is stopped and the accessory switch 204 is off (parked state), the accessory switch 204 is off, and thus the jamming radio emission device 50 is driven. No power is supplied and no jammers are fired. Therefore, also in the driver's seat 20, it is possible to make a call using the communication terminal or to display and browse a mail as usual.

  Next, when the accessory switch 204 is turned ON, the hazard switch 206 is turned OFF, and the emergency switch 52 is turned OFF by the rotation of the key by the driver, etc., the power for driving is supplied from the power source 202, and the jamming wave emission device A jamming radio wave is emitted from 50 (see FIG. 2 (B)). Therefore, when the driver tries to use the communication terminal at the driver's seat 20, for example, the state is the same as "out of service area", and the display of the call or the mail is suppressed. Since the jamming signal does not reach the passenger seat 30, when the communication terminal is placed on the passenger seat 30, the jamming does not occur. Therefore, by placing the communication terminal on the passenger seat 30, incoming calls and mail can be received. In addition, it is possible to make a call by a headset using short distance wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) using a communication terminal placed in the passenger seat 30, and a call by hands free function by cable connection. The assistant in the passenger seat 30 can of course use the communication terminal as usual.

  Next, in the state where the jamming radio wave as described above is emitted, for example, when an emergency occurs and the driver stops the vehicle and turns on the hazard switch 206, the supply of the driving power from the power source 202 is stopped. The emission of the jamming signal is stopped (see FIG. 2C). Thereby, the driver can use the communication terminal and can cope with an emergency situation.

  Next, when the driver presses the emergency switch 52 to turn it on, the supply of the driving power from the power source 202 is stopped also in this case, and the emission of the jamming wave is stopped (see FIG. 2D). However, in order to maintain this state, the driver needs to keep pressing the emergency switch 52. Therefore, during operation, the operation of the communication terminal becomes difficult, and as a result, it is necessary to stop the vehicle 100 at any position. That is, the driver stops the vehicle 100, and keeps pressing the emergency switch 52 and can not operate the communication terminal unless both hands are open.

Thus, according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
a, Since the emergency switch 52 is provided to stop the emission of jamming radio waves if you keep pressing, if the driver stops the vehicle and both hands are not open, you will not be able to view the call or mail, and the safety will improve. .
b, Since the jamming signal is limited to the driver's side, it does not affect the passenger's seat, the rear seat, and the outside of the vehicle.
c, By placing a communication terminal on the passenger side, it is possible to receive an incoming call or mail.

  A second embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. Although the accessory switch 204 is used in the embodiment described above, the drive circuit 300 of FIG. 3 is an example mainly in the case of a manual car, in which the gear switch 304 is used instead of the accessory switch 204. The gear switch 304 is a switch that is turned on when the gear enters any gear such as low and back from the neutral state, that is, when the vehicle 100 is about to start traveling. By doing this, even when the vehicle 10 is at a stop, jamming radio waves can be output only in a state where it can travel. Although the accessory power supply is used as the power supply 202 in the above embodiment, a neutral switch power supply is used in this example.

  The drive circuit 310 of FIG. 4 is an example mainly in the case of a torque converter car, in which a range switch 314 is used instead of the accessory switch 204. The range switch 314 is a switch that is turned on when the gear enters a range such as a neutral state or a parking state from other drive states. In this way, even when the engine of the vehicle 100 is engaged, no jamming signal is emitted in the neutral state or parking state of the gear, and the range switch 314 is turned ON when the gear is shifted to another range. Radio waves are emitted. As the power source 202, a display power source of meter or meter is used.

  The drive circuit 320 shown in FIG. 5 is an example applicable to both an automatic car and a manual car, in which a speed switch 324 is used instead of the accessory switch 204. The speed switch 324 is a switch that is turned on when the speed of the vehicle 100 detects a set value, for example, 1 km / h. By using this speed switch 324, jamming radio waves are emitted when the speed is 1 km / hour or more.

  In any of the above examples, when the hazard switch 206 or the emergency switch 52 is turned on, the emission of the jamming signal is stopped.

  As described above, even in the second embodiment, although the condition of the emission of the interference is different, the emission of the interference is stopped when the pressing of the emergency switch 52 is continued, and the driver stops the vehicle and the call or the operation is not performed. You can not read the email, and the security improves as well.

  A third embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 6A, in the present embodiment, the call suppression application 502 is installed in the smart phone 500 which is a communication terminal, and a jamming signal emitting apparatus 510 is provided instead of the jamming radio emitting apparatus 50 described above. ing.

  The above-mentioned jamming radio emission device 50 disturbs the reception of the signal at the communication terminal by the jamming radio wave, but the jamming signal emission device 510 of this embodiment is for example for short distance wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). Output an interference signal in accordance with the standard. The jamming signal is output instead of the jamming radio wave described above, and the relationship between the ON / OFF of each switch and the output is the same as in the above-described embodiment. Further, no directivity is particularly required for the emission of the disturbance signal, and even if the disturbance signal reaches the front passenger seat or the outside of the vehicle, no particular inconvenience occurs if the call suppression application 502 is not installed on the smartphone 500 side.

FIG. 6B shows the main operation of this embodiment. In the smartphone 500, the call suppression application 502 is activated. Although the timing of activation may be set as appropriate, it is possible to prevent activation failure by performing the following.
When the power of the smartphone 500 is turned on, the smartphone 500 is automatically activated.
b, launched in conjunction with the business application provided in the smartphone 500; For example, when the truck is in charge of delivering a package and the delivery application is activated during the operation, the application is activated at the same time.

  When the call suppression application 502 is activated, the smartphone 500 waits for reception of an interference signal (step S10). Then, as shown in FIG. 2 (B) to FIG. 5 (B), when the jamming signal is emitted from the jamming signal emitting device 510, this is received by the wireless receiving unit 504 (Yes in step S10) The call and the mail display are stopped by the application 502 (step S12).

  Then, when the jamming signal from the jamming signal emitting device 510 is stopped as shown in FIG. 2 (C), (D) to FIG. 5 (C), (D) (Yes in step S14), the call is inhibited. A call or an e-mail can be displayed by the application 502 (step S16).

According to this embodiment,
a. Because interference signals are used instead of interference waves, there is no need to comply with various communication standards such as 3G, LTE, 4G, etc. Interference with standards for short-distance wireless communication common to communication terminals such as the smartphone 500 The jamming signal emitting device 510 can be simplified because it only needs to emit a signal.
b, There is no effect on the smartphone 500 in which the call suppression application 502 is not installed.
c, By changing the function of the call suppression application 502, for example, it is possible to make various settings such as making it possible to receive an incoming call or receive an e-mail, and to suppress the display of a call or an e-mail.
d, It is possible to suppress not only calls and emails, but also games by the smartphone 500 and the like.

  A fourth embodiment will now be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. In the drive circuit 330 of this embodiment, a parking switch 336 is used in place of the hazard switch 206 described above. Of course, the same may be applied to the above embodiment. The parking switch 336 is a switch that is turned on when the gear is in the parking state. In addition, in the present embodiment, the brake switch 338 is connected in parallel with the emergency switch 52 described above. The brake switch 338 is a switch that is turned on when the brake pedal (not shown) is depressed.

  During normal travel, as shown in FIG. 7B, the accessory switch 204 is ON, the parking switch 336 is OFF, the emergency switch 52 is OFF, and the brake switch 338 is OFF. Electric power is supplied, and the jamming device 50 emits jamming waves. In this state, even if the brake is depressed to stop and the brake switch 338 is turned on, the emergency switch 52 is turned off, so that the jamming wave is emitted (see FIG. 7C). Further, even if the emergency switch 52 is turned on during traveling, the jamming radio wave is similarly emitted because the brake switch 336 is turned off (see FIG. 8D).

  Next, even if the vehicle 100 is stopped and the shift lever is not parked and the parking switch 336 is off, the driver presses the emergency switch 52 to turn it on and depresses the brake pedal to switch on the brake switch 338. If ON, the jamming signal is stopped (see FIG. 8E). That is, if the driver performs two operations such as pressing the emergency switch 52 by hand and pressing the brake pedal by foot, the jamming radio wave is stopped, and the communication terminal can make a call or send / receive a mail.

  Next, when the vehicle 100 is stopped and the shift lever is parked and the parking switch 336 is turned on or the accessory switch 204 is turned off, the emission of the interfering radio wave is stopped (see FIG. 8F).

  In the first to third embodiments described above, the communication terminal is operated to make a call etc. by pressing the emergency switch 52, but in the present embodiment, while pressing the emergency switch 52, the brake pedal is depressed. If it does not continue, it will be impossible to make calls etc., and the security will be further improved.

  The gear switch 304, the range switch 314, and the speed switch 324 may be used instead of the accessory switch 204 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 or the jamming signal emitter shown in the third embodiment instead of the jamming radio emission device 50. It may be 510.

(3) There are a mobile phone and a smart phone as a communication terminal in which a call etc. are suppressed, but various information terminals such as a tablet are included.
(4) In the embodiment described above, the jamming signal emitting device 50 and the jamming signal emitting device 510 are disposed in the vicinity of the rearview mirror 28, but the upper portion or the lower portion of the driver's seat 20, the seat or the headrest, among them, or the driver's seat An appropriate arrangement such as a ceiling may be used. The same applies to the distance and angle at which the jamming signal reaches.
(5) In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 5, the emergency switch 52 and the hazard switch 206 may be connected in parallel. In that case, the output of the jamming signal is not stopped unless both switches are turned on.
(6) The ON / OFF of each switch shown in the above embodiment is set for convenience, and it is sufficient if the output terminals switched by the operation are connected as shown in the figure.

  According to the present invention, the driver of the vehicle can detect the driving state and stop the display of the call or the mail on the communication terminal and continue operating the emergency switch or the brake when canceling the stopped state. Since it is necessary to stop the vehicle without fail, a call during driving can be reliably suppressed, and the safety is further improved, it is particularly suitable for preventing an accident due to a call during driving such as a truck.
