Portable terminal, message notification method, and message notification program
First Claim
1. A portable terminal comprising:
- a current positional information obtaining portion to obtain current positional information indicating a current position;
an accepting portion to accept an input by a user;
an address data portion toreceive first positional information, indicating a position of the portable terminal at a first time, from the current positional information obtaining portion,generate address data in which a name of a different user, at least one address, and the first positional information are associated with each other, wherein the at least one address indicates a transmission destination, andstore the generated address data in an address book;
an extraction portion to perform extraction steps comprisingreceiving second positional information, indicating a position of the portable terminal at a second, subsequent time, from the current positional information obtaining portion,determining that the first positional information of the address data is within a prescribed range from the second positional information, and,based on the determination that the first positional information is within the prescribed range from the second positional information, extracting the name stored in association with the first positional information from the address data; and
a transmission portion to, after the name has been extracted from the address data by the extraction portion, transmit a prescribed message to the transmission destination indicated by the at least one address associated with the address data.

Abstract
Address information stored as a transmission destination is effectively used. A mobile phone includes a position detection portion (S02) for obtaining current positional information, an EEPROM for storing address data in which positional information indicating a position and address information indicating a transmission destination are associated with each other, an extraction portion (S03) for extracting address information stored in association with the positional information located within a prescribed range from the current positional information detected by the position detection portion, and a message transmission portion (S08) for transmitting a fixed message to the transmission destination indicated by at least one address information extracted by the extraction portion.

1. A portable terminal comprising:
-
a current positional information obtaining portion to obtain current positional information indicating a current position; an accepting portion to accept an input by a user; an address data portion to receive first positional information, indicating a position of the portable terminal at a first time, from the current positional information obtaining portion, generate address data in which a name of a different user, at least one address, and the first positional information are associated with each other, wherein the at least one address indicates a transmission destination, and store the generated address data in an address book; an extraction portion to perform extraction steps comprising receiving second positional information, indicating a position of the portable terminal at a second, subsequent time, from the current positional information obtaining portion, determining that the first positional information of the address data is within a prescribed range from the second positional information, and, based on the determination that the first positional information is within the prescribed range from the second positional information, extracting the name stored in association with the first positional information from the address data; and a transmission portion to, after the name has been extracted from the address data by the extraction portion, transmit a prescribed message to the transmission destination indicated by the at least one address associated with the address data. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4)

5. A portable terminal comprising:
-
a current positional information obtaining portion to obtain current positional information indicating a current position; an accepting portion to accept an input by a user; an address data portion to receive first positional information, indicating a position of the portable terminal at a first time, from the current positional information obtaining portion, generate address data in which a name of a different user, at least one address, and the first positional information are associated with each other, and store the generated address data in an address book; an extraction portion to perform extraction steps comprising receiving second positional information, indicating a position of the portable terminal at a second, subsequent time, from the current positional information obtaining portion, determining that the first positional information of the address data is within a prescribed range from the second positional information, and, based on the determination that the first positional information is within the prescribed range from the second positional information, extracting the name stored in association with the first positional information from the address data; a moving distance detection portion to detect movement of a prescribed distance or longer; and a moving speed detection portion to detect a moving speed, wherein said extraction portion performs said extraction steps when a movement of the prescribed distance or longer is detected and a subsequently detected moving speed is a prescribed speed or less.

6. A message notification method comprising:
-
accepting an input by a user; in response to the input, generating address data by receiving first positional information, indicating a position of a portable terminal at a first time, generating the address data in which a name of a different user, at least one address, and the first positional information are associated with each other, and storing the generated address data in an address book; detecting movement of a prescribed distance or longer; detecting a moving speed; and
,when the movement of the prescribed distance or longer is detected and, subsequently, the detected moving speed is a prescribed speed or less, subsequently performing extraction steps comprising receiving second positional information, indicating a position of the portable terminal at a second, subsequent time, determining that the first positional information of the address data is within a prescribed range from the second positional information, and, based on the determination that the first positional information is within the prescribed range from the second positional information, extracting the name stored in association with the first positional information from the address data.

7. A message notification program embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium allowing a computer to execute the steps of:
-
accepting an input by a user; in response to the input, generating address data by receiving first positional information, indicating a position of a portable terminal at a first time, generating the address data in which a name of a different user, at least one address, and the first positional information are associated with each other, and storing the generated address data in an address book; detecting movement of a prescribed distance or longer; detecting a moving speed; and
,when the movement of the prescribed distance or longer is detected and, subsequently, the detected moving speed is a prescribed speed or less, subsequently performing extraction steps comprising receiving second positional information, indicating a position of the portable terminal at a second, subsequent time, determining that the first positional information of the address data is within a prescribed range from the second positional information, and, based on the determination that the first positional information is within the prescribed range from the second positional information, extracting the name stored in association with the first positional information from the address data.
