Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a so-called GPS (Global Positioning System: Global Positioning System).
Mobile phone communication in which position information of a moving body (moving person or moving object) obtained using System) is transmitted to a destination such as a home by wireless communication (mobile communication) of a mobile phone and displayed. Relates to a location information notification system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A device in which a mobile body obtains current position information by using GPS and displays it on a map is currently known as a car navigation system. Separately, the display and operation of regional map information is used as a map information processing system on a personal computer or the like.

Next, as a system for transmitting the position information of the mobile unit, the current position information obtained by a private car using GPS in police relations is transmitted to the general communication command room via a dedicated line, and this command room is sent to this command room. There is a display system.

[0004]

However, for example, when a child, a mountaineer, or a pet as a moving body is missing and the searcher wants to know the current position,
There is a problem that the system as described above cannot handle it. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a position information notification system by mobile phone communication in which position information obtained by a GPS receiver (antenna) is transferred to an arbitrary place and the information can be used even at home. .

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the position information notifying system according to claim 1 obtains the current position from the radio wave of the GPS satellite (1) and present position information (11).
A GPS receiver (2) that outputs the current position information, and a wireless transmission unit (wireless transmission device 3) that transmits the current position information together with the address of a predetermined transmission destination as a radio wave of a mobile phone, and is configured to be portable. Information transmitter (01)
Then, the area map information is set in advance at the address and the current position indicated by the current position information received through the mobile communication network (03) and the telephone line network (04) is applicable. Position of mobile unit having means (modem 4, position display data output device 5) for generating and outputting image data (position display data 5a) to be displayed on the area map, and display means (display device 6) for displaying this image data on the screen. An information receiving device (02) is provided.

The position information notifying system according to a second aspect is the system according to the first aspect, wherein the display means is a television or a personal computer.

[0007]

The position information obtained by using the GPS is transmitted from the mobile unit position information transmitting device 01 using the wireless communication (mobile unit communication) of the mobile phone, and the mobile unit position information receiving unit 02 transmits the information. Received and displayed on the area map information. Thereby, the existing position of the mobile unit position information transmitter 01 can be confirmed in real time even at home.

[0008]

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram as an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a GPS satellite as a satellite that constitutes GPS, 01 is a portable mobile body position information transmitting device that a mobile body has, 02 is a mobile body position information receiving device that can be installed at home, and 03 is a mobile phone. A mobile communication network used, 04 is a telephone network connected to the mobile communication network, and 05 is a telephone line.

Further, in the mobile unit position information transmitter 01, 2 receives a radio wave emitted from the GPS satellite 1, finds the current position of the unit 01, and outputs it as current position information 11. The wireless transmission device emits and outputs to the mobile communication network 03 a radio wave 3a for mobile communication modulated by transmission data such as the current position information 11 output from the receiver 2 and the address of the mobile position information receiving device 02.

Further, in the mobile unit position information receiving apparatus 02, 4 is connected to a telephone line network 04 following the mobile communication network 03 by a telephone line 05 and demodulates a signal received from the line 05 destined for the own apparatus 02 and presently. The modem 5 for extracting the position information 11 uses pre-stored area map data, and uses image data indicating the current position indicated by the current position information 11 on the area map (if necessary, this image data includes coordinates of the current position). A position display data output device for generating and outputting position display data 5a (including a value), and a display device 6 such as a CRT for displaying the position display data 5a on the screen. The display device 6 may be provided exclusively for the mobile body position information receiving device 02, or may also serve as the display device of a home television or a personal computer. In the latter case, the position display data 5a is input to a predetermined image signal input terminal of this television or personal computer.

In the system of FIG. 1, the moving body position information transmitting device 01 includes the current position information 11 and the address of the moving body position information receiving device 02 at predetermined intervals or based on the input of an operation switch (not shown). The radio wave 3a is emitted. The radio wave 3a is received by the mobile communication network 03, is further converted into a signal for the telephone line, is input to the telephone line network 04, and is transmitted to the mobile unit position information receiving apparatus 02 via the telephone line 05. And position information receiving device 0
The current position information 11 is extracted from this transmission signal within 2
As described above, it is displayed on the display device 6 together with the image data of the regional map.

[0012]

According to the present invention, a mobile body position information transmitting device having the functions of a GPS receiver and a wireless transmitter is made into a compact portable size, so that children, climbers, pets, etc. will be missing. , It becomes easy to equip people and animals who may be unable to contact them and who may be confused if they are lost, making it easier to search.
