Abstract
When a mobile device falls within a range in which the mobile device can communicate with an IC tag, the mobile device transmits a phone number acquisition request including an IC tag ID and a device number to a management apparatus. The management apparatus receives the phone number acquisition request, acquires a phone number corresponding to the IC tag ID and the device number included in the phone number acquisition request from a phone number management table, and informs the mobile device of the acquired phone number. The mobile device receives the phone number and modifies its own phone number to the received phone number.
Claims16
A mobile device that stores a device number for uniquely identifying the mobile device and is capable of communicating with a management apparatus that stores a phone number after modification in association with a combination of an identification number for uniquely identifying an IC (Integrated Circuit) tag and the device number, the mobile device comprising:
- a device information storage unit that previously stores a phone number;
- a communication control unit that performs communication control by using the phone number stored in the device information storage unit;
- an IC tag reading unit that reads the identification number from the IC tag;
- a phone-number-acquisition requesting unit that transmits a phone number acquisition request including the identification number read by the IC tag reading unit and the device number of the mobile device to the management apparatus;
- and
- a phone number modifying unit that modifies the phone number stored in the device information storage unit to a phone number after modification included in modification information received as a response to the phone number acquisition request.
A management apparatus capable of communicating with a mobile device that reads an identification number for uniquely identifying an IC tag (Integrated Circuit) from the IC tag provided at a predetermined place, the management apparatus comprising:
- a phone number management storage unit that previously stores a phone number after modification in association with a combination of the identification number and a device number for uniquely identifying the mobile device;
- a phone number specifying unit that specifies, when receiving a phone number acquisition request including the identification number and the device number, a phone number after modification corresponding to the combination of the identification number and the device number included in the phone number acquisition request from the phone number management storage unit;
- and
- a phone number informing unit that informs the mobile device of modification information including the phone number after modification specified by the phone number specifying unit.
A phone number modifying system, comprising:
- a mobile device that stores a device number for uniquely identifying the mobile device;
- and
- a management apparatus that can communicate with the mobile device, wherein
- the mobile device comprises
- a device information storage unit that previously stores a phone number;
- a communication control unit that performs communication control by using the phone number stored in the device information storage unit;
- an IC tag reading unit that reads an identification number for uniquely identifying an IC tag (Integrated Circuit) from the IC tag;
- a phone-number-acquisition requesting unit that transmits a phone number acquisition request including the identification number read by the IC tag reading unit and the device number of the mobile device to the management apparatus;
- and
- a phone number modifying unit that modifies the phone number stored in the device information storage unit to a phone number after modification included in modification information received as a response to the phone number acquisition request, and
- the management apparatus comprises
- a phone number management storage unit that previously stores a phone number after modification in association with a combination of the identification number and the device number;
- a phone number specifying unit that specifies, when receiving the phone number acquisition request from the mobile device, a phone number after modification corresponding to the combination of the identification number and the device number included in the phone number acquisition request from the phone number management storage unit;
- and
- a phone number informing unit that informs the mobile device of modification information including the phone number after modification specified by the phone number specifying unit.
A control circuit that stores a phone number and a device number for uniquely identifying a mobile device, reads an identification number for uniquely identifying an IC tag (Integrated Circuit) from the IC tag, and controls the mobile device that communicates with a management apparatus that stores a phone number after modification in association with a combination of the identification number and the device number, the control circuit comprising:
- a communication control unit that performs communication control by using the phone number;
- a phone-number-acquisition requesting unit that transmits a phone number acquisition request including the identification number read from the IC tag and the device number of the mobile device to the management apparatus;
- and
- a phone number modifying unit that modifies the phone number to a phone number after modification included in modification information received as a response to the phone number acquisition request.
