Abstract

The present invention provides a portable electronic apparatus such as a portable telephone, which improves safety in a situation where the apparatus is left behind. The portable electronic apparatus includes: a storing section that stores a pair of designated time and designated position; a time obtaining section that obtains a current time; a position obtaining section that obtains a current position; a determination section that determines whether there is a match or a mismatch between the current position at the current time reaching the designated time and the designated position that is paired with the designated time; and a mismatch processing section that performs mismatch processing in response to a mismatch determined by the determination section as a determination result.

Claims

1. A portable electronic apparatus comprising:

a storing section that stores a pair of designated time and designated position;

a time obtaining section that obtains a current time;

a position obtaining section that obtains a current position;

a determination section that determines whether there is a match or a mismatch between the current position at the current time reaching the designated time and the designated position that is paired with the designated time; and

a mismatch processing section that performs mismatch processing in response to a mismatch determined by the determination section as a determination result.

2. A portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the mismatch processing section locks the portable electronic apparatus to disable at least a part of the function of the portable electronic apparatus.

3. A portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a wireless communication section that wirelessly communicates with external equipment,

wherein the storing section stores an address of other equipment to be communicated with in addition to the pair of designated time and designated position, and

wherein the mismatch processing section sends a predetermined message to the address of other equipment to be communicated with.

4. A portable electronic apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the wireless communication section is capable of sending an electronic mail and the address of other equipment to be communicated with stored in the storing section is an electronic mail destination address, and

wherein the mismatch processing section sends a predetermined message to the destination address by electronic mail.

5. A non-carry processing program storage medium which stores a non-carry processing program that is executed in a portable electronic apparatus capable of executing a program, wherein:

the program provides the apparatus with a non-carry processing function comprising;

a storing section that stores a pair of designated time and designated position;

a time obtaining section that obtains a current time;

a position obtaining section that obtains a current position;

a determination section that determines whether there is a match or a mismatch between the current position at the current time reaching the designated time and the designated position that is paired with the designated time; and

a mismatch processing section that performs mismatch processing in response to a mismatch determined by the determination section as a determination result.
