Abstract
A position information acquisition section acquires position information about a mobile terminal, and a storage section stores hour information and position condition information inputted to an interface section in association with each other. When the hour shown by a clock becomes the hour indicated by the hour information stored in the storage section, a comparison section compares the position condition information stored in association with the hour information, with the position information acquired by the position information acquisition section. If the position information corresponds to the position condition information as a result of the comparison, a notification section gives a notification.
Claims25
A mobile terminal provided with a clock, the mobile terminal comprising:
- a position information acquisition section that acquires position information indicating a position of the mobile terminal at a predetermined timing;
- an interface section that inputs information from an outside of the mobile terminal;
- a storage section that stores hour information and position condition information inputted to the interface section in association with each other;
- a comparison section that compares, when the hour shown by the clock becomes the hour indicated by the hour information stored in the storage section, the position condition information stored in the storage section in association with the hour information, with the position information acquired by the position information acquisition section;
- and
- a notification section that causes a predetermined notification to be generated on the outside of the mobile terminal if the position information corresponds to the position condition information as a result of the comparison by the comparison section,
- wherein the storage section stores a latitude, a longitude, and a distance range from a position indicated by the latitude and the longitude, in association with one another as the position condition information, and
- wherein the position information acquisition section setting a longer timing interval, the larger the distance range being stored in the storage section.
An hour notification method for causing notification, that the hour that has been set in advance has been reached, to be generated on an outside of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- measuring time;
- acquiring position information indicating the position of the mobile terminal at a predetermined timing;
- storing hour information and the position condition information inputted from the outside of the mobile terminal in association with each other;
- comparing, when the current hour becomes the hour indicated by the stored hour information, the position condition information stored in association with the hour information, with the acquired position information;
- causing a predetermined notification to be generated on the outside of the mobile terminal if the position information corresponds to the position condition information as a result of the comparison;
- storing a latitude, a longitude, and a distance range from a position indicated by the latitude and the longitude, in association with one another as the position condition information;
- and
- setting a longer timing interval, the larger the distance range being stored in the storage section.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium in which there is recorded a program to be executed by a computer, the program being for executing:
- a procedure for measuring time;
- a procedure for acquiring position information indicating the position of the computer at a predetermined timing;
- a procedure for storing hour information and the position condition information inputted from an outside of the computer in association with each other;
- a procedure for comparing, when the current hour becomes the hour indicated by the stored hour information, the position condition information stored in association with the hour information, with the acquired position information;
- a procedure for causing a predetermined notification to be generated on the outside of the computer if the position information corresponds to the position condition information as a result of the comparison;
- a procedure for storing a latitude, a longitude, and a distance range from a position indicated by the latitude and the longitude, in association with one another as the position condition information;
- and
- a procedure for setting a longer timing interval, the larger the distance range being stored in the storage section.
