Mobile communication device and position search method
First Claim
1. A position search device that, based on a report to a predetermined report destination from a mobile communication device that locates a current position by GPS positioning and searches for the current position of the mobile communication device from the report destination, comprising:
- a communication device of the report destination acquiring mobile device information identifying the processing performance of the mobile communication device, and transmitting a position communication request to the mobile communication device while communicating with the mobile communication device when it is judged that the processing performance of the mobile communication device is high, on the basis of the mobile device information, and transmitting a position communication request to the mobile communication device following the end of communications with the mobile communication device when it is judged that the processing performance of the mobile communication device is low; and
the mobile communication device communicating the current position, that is obtained as a result of the GPS positioning, to the communication device of the report destination on the basis of the receipt of the position communication request.

Abstract
A mobile communication device capable of issuing a report as quickly as possible to a report destination of which telephone number or electronic mail address varies depending on the current position is provided. When identification information of the report destination is inputted, the identification information is converted to a communication address such as a telephone number or electronic mail address for the report destination corresponding with the current position of the mobile communication device such as a cellular phone by means of pattern matching and call request or transmission processing is performed. In the case of a mobile communication device with a high processing performance, the current position is located by activating the GPS prior to receiving a position communication request from the report destination, and the current position is communicated on the basis of the position communication request.
