First Claim
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- a position information acquiring section for acquiring position information of said mobile terminal;
a route information maintaining section for storing a route information for a predetermined route information;
a monitoring section for monitoring a mobile terminal route according to said acquired position information;
a determining section for determining whether or not said mobile route corresponds to said predetermined route information; and
an operation mode section for determining a current mode of operation of said mobile terminal and switching said mobile terminal to a predetermined operation mode, which corresponds to said predetermined route, when it is determined that said mobile terminal is moving on said predetermined route and said current mode of operation is not said predetermined operation mode.

Abstract
In a mobile terminal (10), a position information which is received by a position information detecting section (12) is transmitted to a base station. A determining section (34) in the base station determines whether or not the received position information indicates a non-communication area which is then stored in a memory device (35). If the position information indicates a no-communication area, a communication impossible information is transmitted to the mobile terminal (10). When the communication impossible information is received, a wireless communication section (19) in the mobile terminal (10) is notified that a network is disconnected. By putting out a network disconnection request by a communication controlling section (36), the network is disconnected. Consequently, use of the mobile terminal is prohibited in an area where a mobile terminal should preferably be restricted.
