[0017] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the configuration of a mobile phone use restriction device according to the present invention. A configuration example is shown in 1-A and a shape example is shown in 1-B. The mobile phone use restriction device 1000 is mounted near the driver's seat of a vehicle. When the driver drives the vehicle, the mobile phone use restriction device 1000 prompts the driver to store the driver's mobile phone in the holding container of the mobile phone use restriction device 1000, detects whether it is stored, and when the vehicle is running (not stopped or at a speed equal to or higher than a predetermined speed) by detecting the moving speed of the vehicle (or the moving speed of the mounted mobile phone use restriction device 1000), it is driven by the moving speed detection result of the vehicle, and the mobile phone stored in the holding container cannot be taken out or held by the mobile phone use restriction means (locking means, non-holdable means, etc.) provided in the holding container.

[0018] In 1-A, the mobile phone usage restriction device 1000 includes a functional unit 100 and a power supply unit 200 that drives the functional unit 100. The functional unit 100 includes a moving speed detection means 110 (which may be a speedometer provided in the vehicle itself) for detecting the moving speed of the vehicle (the same speed as the mounted mobile phone usage restriction device 1000), a holding container 120 that houses the mobile phone and has a mobile phone usage restriction means for restricting the use of the mobile phone when the moving speed is equal to or higher than the traveling or a predetermined speed value, a mobile phone holding state detection means 130 for detecting whether the mobile phone is housed in the holding container 120, a notification means 140 for notifying the driver of information regarding the housing of the mobile phone, and a control means 150 for controlling these. Further, it is preferable to include a history management means 160 for managing violation data regarding the driver's housing and holding of the mobile phone, and a communication means 170 for transmitting and receiving data of the history management means 160 to and from a management center (not shown). In this figure, the power supply unit 200 preferably obtains power from the vehicle power supply 220 via a power switch 210 that is turned on and off in conjunction with the vehicle driving key. However, this is not restrictive. As an example of this example, taking power from a so-called cigarette power inlet can be mentioned. Furthermore, although not shown, as the power supply unit 200, it is desirable to have an internal auxiliary power supply other than the vehicle power supply 220, which is normally charged and can operate with the internal auxiliary power supply even when the power input such as a cigarette power inlet is intentionally disconnected. Of course, it is natural that as the power supply unit 200, it is possible to use other power sources as the main power source instead of the vehicle power supply 220.

[0019] Adding further description of each part, the moving speed detection means 110 can use means for obtaining the movement of the position at each time by GPS (Global Positioning System), means for obtaining the speed by integrating values from an accelerometer, means using an inclination sensor whose inclination changes with speed, etc. As the mobile phone usage restriction means 121 of the holding container, lock means and non-holdable means, which will be described in detail later, can be used. Non-holdable means creates a state where the driver cannot hold it by hand due to its shape or pin fixation. Of course, the mobile phone usage restriction means 121 is driven based on the detection result of the moving speed of the vehicle as described above. The mobile phone holding state detection means 130 checks whether the driver's mobile phone is stored at the mobile phone storage position of the holding container 120. Its main function is to check whether the mobile phone is stored. Furthermore, it has a beneficial function of identifying violations, which will be detailed in FIGS. 3 and 4. Checking whether it is stored is within the scope of the role of the violation response means, but as a basic function, The mobile phone holding state detection means 130 is treated separately from other violation response means 180, and the violation responses other than the storage check are grouped together in the violation response means 180. As an example of the storage check for detecting the storage state of the mobile phone in the container, examples of what is provided in the container include, for example, a switch that is activated by being pushed by the mobile phone, a weight sensor that detects the weight of the mobile phone, a light emitting element and a light receiving element that detects whether the light is blocked by the mobile phone, a receiving element that receives the radio wave emitted by the mobile phone, a sensor that reads a mark attached to the mobile phone (including barcodes, QR codes (registered trademarks), RFID tags, etc.), a magnetic sensor that reads a magnet attached to the mobile phone, and many other means are possible.

[0020] The notification means 140 includes voice guidance means or / and display means. For example, it notifies the driver by voice or / and display, such as "Please store your mobile phone, driver", "It has not been stored yet", "Please store it within a few minutes", and "The grace period has been exceeded, so a violation has been recorded". Note that what is shown by the dotted line frame is an additional means that is preferably present. The history management means 160 has a storage means and accommodates and manages violation information. The communication means 170 is, for example, a communication device that exchanges data of the history management means 160 with a management device of an external management center. The violation response means 180 will be detailed with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 and is a means for responding to violations.

[0021] For the configuration example of 1-A, the schematic shape is shown in 1-B. Its modification examples will be detailed in FIGS. 6 to 8. The mobile phone usage restriction device 1000 has a recess in which the mobile phone 10 is housed. In this example, when it is determined that the mobile phone is housed and the vehicle is in motion, the locking means, which is the mobile phone usage restriction means 121, rotates to cover the mobile phone 10 and make it impossible to take out. When the vehicle is not in motion, the locking means returns to the removable position. Alternatively, it may be opened manually. Although the notification means 140 is shown in a visible state, other means are not shown, but it is natural that they exist in the mobile phone usage restriction device 1000.

[0022] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the operation flow of the mobile phone usage restriction device (FIG. 1) according to the present invention. When the system is activated (it may have a dedicated switch, but it is preferably interlocked when the vehicle engine is driven, such as an ETC card reader), In the mobile phone holding state detection and violation response flow example 1, 8) Perform mobile phone storage state detection 1. · If it is not stored, 9) Issue a request notification of "Please store it", return to the starting point S, and repeat. In this case, although not described, a number of times or a waiting time may be set, and if it is exceeded, a violation response described later may be performed. In addition, when using voice for the request notification, it is also possible to perform a violation response for too low volume with *9 volume check. It is possible to respond to the violation of lowering the volume when the request notification sound is too loud and ensure the notification ability. · If it is stored, 1) The driving speed enters the comparison determination with the preset conditions. · If the vehicle is moving or faster than the preset conditions, 2) Perform non-removable processing of the mobile phone (such as locking, by the mobile phone usage restriction means 121) Assuming that the driver receives a passenger's mobile phone and makes a call, 6) Check if there is a speaking sound (collect the sound of the conversation with the microphone). If not, there is no problem, so return to 1) and repeat. If there is sound, 7) the driver image is judged, notified, and recorded. If there is an image of the driver holding a mobile phone in the driver image, there is a problem, so a notification such as "Please stop driving while using the phone. It will be recorded." is issued. The violation image of the driver holding a mobile phone is stored in the history management means 160 together with the time, transmitted to the management center by the communication means 170, and used as evidence for management and guidance, so the psychological violation prevention effect is great. · When it stops or is slower than the preset conditions, 3) Maintain the state where the mobile phone can be taken out (the mobile phone can be held and used), Furthermore, 4) Perform mobile phone storage state detection 2. The reason for performing mobile phone storage state detection 1 again here after performing it in 8) is that since it is in a usable state, there is a possibility that it may not be stored due to use. If it is stored, 1) the running speed returns to the comparison and determination with the preset conditions and repeats. When it is used and not stored, 5) count the mobile phone usable waiting time, return to 8) or 9), and prompt for storage. If the waiting time is exceeded, violation countermeasures such as image acquisition are taken. In the figure, what is shown by the dotted line frame is more preferably the one with that process.

[0023] 1) to 7) in FIG. 2 are common, and different examples of the part of "Mobile phone holding state detection and violation response flow example" are described below. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the configuration of the mobile phone use restriction device according to the present invention. The difference from FIG. 1 is that the violation response means 180 lists a number of implementation items. Hereinafter, examples of the violation response means will be described in detail. (1) Power-off response means Basically, it is preferable that the power cannot be easily turned off, such as taking power from the wiring inside the car. However, when taking power from the cigarette power supply, It is necessary to respond to the driver intentionally unplugging the power supply. In that case, there is usually an internal auxiliary power supply that is normally charged. When the power supply unplugging is detected due to a power supply drop or the like (various responses will be described later), the driving is immediately switched to the internal auxiliary power supply to operate the device. Obtain the driver's image (if there is driver identification number acquisition or personal recognition from the image, it is easier to organize data using personal names, numbers, etc.), and record and transmit violation data together with the time. Examples of responses to power supply unplugging in general, including unplugging before turning on the engine key, will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

[0024] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a means for responding to a violation due to power supply unplugging of a mobile phone use restriction device according to the present invention. The power supply unit 200 has a vehicle power supply 220 as the main power supply, and normally supplies power to the functional unit 100. However, it has an internal auxiliary power supply 510 that substitutes for the supply when the main power supply cannot be supplied, and a power supply unplugging detection means 520 that detects power supply unplugging. Normally, the power supply unplugging detection means 520 is in a state where power is supplied and operated by the internal auxiliary power supply 510. In this example, it is a resistor 521 connected in parallel to the internal auxiliary power supply 510 and a switch 522 that connects between electrical terminals due to movement by unplugging. In this example, when there is no power supply unplugging, the electrical terminals of the switch 522 are in a non-connected state, and when there is a power supply unplugging, the electrical terminals of the switch 522 are in a connected state. Therefore, the potential of the connection point P between the resistor 521 and the switch 522 is equal to the potential of the internal auxiliary power supply 510 when there is no power supply unplugging, and is equal to the reference zero potential when there is a power supply unplugging. In this example, the presence or absence of power supply unplugging is captured as a change in the potential of the connection point P and is used for subsequent responses. For example, when driving the functional unit 100 with the internal auxiliary power supply 510 instead of the vehicle power supply 220. The gate of the transistor 530 is driven by the signal at the connection point P. In this case, the transistor 530 is turned on by the zero potential at the connection point P, and the power supply is supplied from the internal auxiliary power supply 510 to the functional unit and used. Moreover, the potential at the connection point P or the electrical signal derived and driven thereby is used to take countermeasures against power supply unplugging violations such as driver imaging and voice notification. Of course, if it corresponds to power supply unplugging, the change in potential may also be based on the reverse logic. In addition, for example, a cigarette power supply is shown which includes a switch 522 for detecting insertion and extraction between a vehicle power output terminal 540 and a plug-in input terminal 550 inserted into the vehicle power output terminal 540. In 5-A, with the plug-in input terminal 550 inserted into the vehicle power output terminal 540, the electrical terminals of the switch 522 are in a non-connected state by the switch connection piece 522b, and in 5-B, due to extraction, the electrical terminals 522 are in a connected state by the switch connection piece 522b. In addition, the power supply unplugging detection means 520 can have many corresponding means as follows, in addition to the example of this case which is composed of a resistor and an electrical contact that mechanically moves to connect between terminals. For example, those using a magnet attached near the vehicle power output terminal 540 and a magnetic sensor provided on the plug-in input terminal 550 side, those using a mark (which may be a QR code (registered trademark), etc.) attached to the vehicle power output terminal 540 side and a mark reading means provided on the plug-in input terminal 550 side, those using a light reflecting plate or a light projecting means attached to the vehicle power output terminal 540 side and a light projecting / receiving means or a light receiving means provided on the plug-in input terminal 550 side, etc. can be mentioned.

[0025] (2) Mobile phone forgery checking means In the means for checking that a disguise containing only the weight and appearance of a mobile phone, such as a mere box, is stored, it is most effective to provide radio wave receiving means for receiving the radio waves constantly generated by the mobile phone. Since the disguise does not generate radio waves, it can be distinguished. (3) Driver identification means For driver identification, · It is desirable to associate the driver's name with the driver's image (face image) in advance. · Fingerprint authentication, face authentication, or voice authentication may also be used. · The driver may carry a card, ID TAG, etc. attached to himself / herself. · The driver may be specified by selection from registered members. (4) Mobile phone identification means Register in advance which mobile phone belongs to whom, and identify and specify the used mobile phone. Even if the placed mobile phone does not belong to the driver, it can be specified in relation to the driver identification means. · Attach a mark (including barcodes, QR codes (registered trademarks), RFID tags, etc.) to the mobile phone for easy reading. · Although it seems possible to distinguish by communication with the mobile phone, the device is complex and not preferable. · There is also shape recognition, but it is difficult to distinguish. (5) Means for checking the response to a phone call during driving (· Voice acquisition means · Driver image acquisition means) The so-called "while driving" mode often involves the driver using a mobile phone. However, for example, the driver may also receive the mobile phone from a person sitting in the passenger seat, and it should be noted that it is not necessarily limited to the driver's mobile phone. No matter which mobile phone the driver uses to "drive while doing something else", it is a violation. As a means to address both situations, when the vehicle is in motion due to a high moving speed, the voice acquisition means collects the voice near the driver's seat. When the voice serves as a trigger to acquire the driver's video, and if the driver gripping a mobile phone is shown in the video, the driver's video and the time are recorded as violation data in the history management means 160 as evidence of the violation. If no mobile phone is shown in the video where the driver is shown, it is considered not a violation and no record is left. The violation data is used as evidence for the driver's guidance and contributes to creating an environment where violations are less likely to occur. In addition, the driver's video is acquired even when there is no voice acquisition, if other violations are committed, and is recorded as violation data in the history management means 160 together with the time and is used for guidance. (6) Volume checking means Regarding violations where the notification means 140 deliberately reduces the sound volume and does not give a notification, if the volume is lower than the preset value, it is also beneficial to acquire the driver's video as a violation and link it to the record. (*9 in Figure 2) Volume check (violation record connection) (7) Means for dealing with non-possession of a mobile phone Drivers who do not possess a mobile phone need to deal with the inability to store it, so there is a means that allows selection and designation of whether to possess a mobile phone or not.

[0026] An example of a processing flow covering all of the above violation response means is shown in Figure 4. Of course, which violation response means to use can be freely selected. The mobile phone holding state detection and violation response flow example 2 in Figure 4 is used in place of the mobile phone holding state detection and violation response flow example 1 in Figure 2. Figure 4 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the operation flow of the mobile phone use restriction device (Figure 3) according to the present invention. In Figure 4, 10) Check whether the power is unplugged. If it is removed, as a violation, 11) Through auxiliary power supply switching and driver video acquisition, if it is not removed, directly, both, 12) Select and specify whether to carry a mobile phone or not. This is because a driver who does not carry a mobile phone cannot store it, so it is made selectable. If not carried, 13) Check whether there is voice during driving. If not, return to 13) and repeat the check at appropriate time intervals. If there is, perform 14) corresponding to driver video acquisition, return to 13), and repeat the check at appropriate time intervals. If it is selected to carry a mobile phone, 8) Detect the storage state of the mobile phone 1 is performed. If not stored, 9) Issue a request notification of "Please store it". Return to 8) and repeat. If stored, 16) Check whether the stored item is not a fake. If it is a fake, 17) Issue a request notification of "It is a fake. Please store the real thing". If it is not a fake, 18) Check whether it is the driver's mobile phone. If it is not the driver's, 19) Issue a request notification of "Please store the driver's mobile phone". If it is the driver's, proceed to 1) in Figure 2. In addition, in the checks of 8), 16), and 18), 15) waiting time check is performed in all cases. If within the time, return to the original and repeat the re-check (the return path marked with * in the figure). If it exceeds, as a violation, driver video acquisition is performed, 20) driver video recording is performed, return to 8) and repeat, or shift to the processing of 13) and 14). For example, a driver who does not respond even after being reminded several times is regarded as invalid even in the same repetition, and the history is recorded and supplemented in the processing of 13) and 14).

[0027] An example of the shape of the mobile phone use restriction device is shown in 1-B of Figure 1. This is an example where the locking means, which is the mobile phone use restriction means 121, rotates to cover the mobile phone 10 and make it non-removable. Figure 6 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the holding container of the mobile phone use restriction device according to the present invention. Here, as a deformation of the locking means, In 6-A, 6-B, and 6-C, they rotate in the direction of the figure, and the direction is the same as the opening and closing direction of the lid of 6-C. The rotating body of the locking means is a small flat plate in 6-A, a rod-shaped body or a pin-shaped body in 6-B, and a large flat plate lid-shaped body in 6-C. In 6-D, the rotation of the rod-shaped body or the pin-shaped body is parallel to the surface of the storage container. In 6-E, the rod-shaped body or the pin-shaped body moves so as to protrude into and retract from the concave portion parallel to the surface of the storage container, and it can be freely deformed.

[0028] Figure 7 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the holding container of the mobile phone usage restriction device according to the present invention. In 7-A, the portion for storing the mobile phone is a concave portion. In 7-B, the portion for storing the mobile phone is a flat portion and requires other supporting means. In 7-C, it has a gap space for sliding the mobile phone in and out. In 7-D, the mobile phone is held by a plurality of rod-shaped blocks.

[0029] Figure 8 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the holding container of the mobile phone usage restriction device according to the present invention. As can be seen from 8-A and 8-B, in the 7-C-shaped storage container, in 8-A, the mobile phone is in a state where it is half pulled out, and in 8-B, the mobile phone is in a state where it is inserted and stored. A cross-section of the state of 8-B viewed from the side as shown by the arrow is shown in 8-C. Here, the mobile phone is placed on the mounting table 810, and the mounting table 810 is configured to move by the moving means 820. An example including the moving means 820 in the mobile phone usage restriction device is shown.
