[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to improvements in mobile phones.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In recent years, along with the diversification of business, various improvements have been made to communication means. For example, it has been developed to develop a mobile phone that can send and receive immediately without using a built-in telephone, for example, a public telephone, regardless of where it is in a predetermined area. Are easy to carry and tend to be widely used. A mobile telephone such as a cordless telephone of this type is configured so that a unique telephone number of the telephone can be registered in advance with a telephone company and can freely access the telephone network by radio. ..

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, as mobile phones have become smaller and lighter, pocket-sized mobile phones have also been developed. In addition, some of the main telephones are configured so that a calling method using a vibrator, such as a pager, can be selectively used instead of the buzzer for calling. This calling method using a vibrator was developed to notify the user of an incoming call at a place where calling using a normal buzzer sound is inconvenient, such as a conference hall or a music venue, and the user can wear a shirt on his chest. It is necessary to carry the phone itself in a place where vibration can be detected, such as in a pocket. However, with this type of mobile phone, as described above, even if the incoming call by the buzzer sound is inconvenient and even if the incoming call by the vibrator can be detected, it is likely that it is when talking at a conference. If you can't answer the phone right away, we can't handle it. In addition, even when it is impossible to carry the mobile phone itself, such as when swimming or playing sports, the incoming call cannot be confirmed and it is impossible to deal with this.

Furthermore, even if the call is confirmed by a vibration call, it is annoying to the people around to utter a voice on the train or the like, and it is desired that the people talk about the content of the talk itself. If it doesn't, you can't deal with it. In addition, when using the above-mentioned vibration call, it is often inconvenient to store it in a pocket or the like because the telephone itself is relatively large. The present invention has been devised in order to effectively solve the above problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone capable of responding to an incoming call by using a response message stored in advance.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a portable mobile phone having a vibration call unit for indicating an incoming call due to vibration, and a storage means for storing a response message in the main body of the phone. It is configured in.

[0006]

[Action]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, the user who recognizes an incoming call by vibrating the vibration call unit performs a predetermined operation, or automatically answers the incoming buzzer after counting a predetermined number of times. The storage means that stores the message is activated to convey the prescribed message to the other party.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a portable telephone as a telephone body according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of the portable telephone shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the portable telephone 2 as a main body of the telephone has an antenna 4 for both transmission and reception, a transmission / reception unit 6 connected to this antenna 4, and a modulation / demodulation circuit connected to the latter stage of this unit 6. A channel 8, an analog signal processing unit 10 for processing a voice signal, a telephone control unit 12 for controlling the entire telephone, an amplifier circuit 16 for driving a buzzer 14, and an operation unit 18 for a user to key in. The following members, which are the features of the present invention, namely, a vibration call unit 20 that incorporates a vibrator to notify an incoming call by vibration and an incoming call buzzer that counts incoming call buzzer sounds, etc. The sound counter 22 and a storage means 24 storing various response messages are mainly included. The buzzer 14, the vibration call unit 20, and the incoming buzzer sound counter 22 can be selected by a selection switch 26. The mobile phone radio unit 27 of FIG. 2 accommodates the transmission unit 6, the modulation / demodulation circuit 8, the telephone control unit 12, and the analog signal processing unit 10.

The transmitting / receiving unit 6 includes a receiving unit 6 a, a transmitting unit 6 b, a PLL-type synthesizer 6 c, and an antenna sharing device 6 d for transmitting and receiving at the same time with one antenna 4. The synthesizer 6c latches the PLL data 12a relating to the transmission and reception channel designation given from the telephone controller 12 and determines the reception and transmission channels of the reception unit 6a and the transmission unit 6b based on the latched PLL data 12a. Set. The modulation / demodulation circuit 8 enters a different operation mode based on the call / control channel designation signal 12b applied to the control input terminal 8a. When the call / control channel designation signal 12b output from the telephone control unit 12 is in the call channel mode, the modulation / demodulation circuit 8 sends the transmission signal 10a output from the analog signal processing unit 10 into the modulation / demodulation circuit 8. The detection signal applied to the reception signal input terminal 8c is output from the transmission system output terminal 8b to the analog signal processing unit 10 while being output to the transmission signal output terminal 8b and applied to the transmission unit 6b. Output.

When the call / control channel designation signal 12b is in the control channel mode, the modulation / demodulation circuit 8 converts the transmission data 12c output from the telephone control unit 12 into a frequency signal which is predetermined according to the logical level. The signal is modulated (for example, SP coded FSK), the modulated output signal is supplied to the transmitting unit 6b, the signal detected by the receiving unit 6a is demodulated, and the logical level received signal 12d is output. The analog signal processing unit 10 is in an operating state when the call / control channel designation signal 12b applied to the control input terminal 10b is in the call channel mode, amplifies the transmitter output signal from the transmitter 28, and causes an excessive value. For the transmission input level, a transmission signal 10a subjected to level compression processing for suppressing spurious is output, and a reception signal output from the voice signal output terminal 8d of the modulation / demodulation circuit 8 is amplified. Drive the handset 30. The telephone control unit 12 is composed of, for example, a one-chip microcomputer.

When the telephone control unit 12 receives a code signal relating to an incoming call transmitted from a connection device (not shown) via a control channel, it outputs a predetermined audible frequency signal to the incoming signal output terminal 12e. Is configured to get. Then, depending on the selection mode of the selection switch 26, when the audible frequency signal is input to the amplification circuit 16, the buzzer 14 is sounded, and when it is input to the vibration call unit 20, a vibration call is performed and an incoming call is used. When the audible frequency signal is input to the incoming buzzer sound counter 22 while being transmitted to the person, the number of signals corresponding to the buzzer sound is counted.

The storage means 24 is composed of, for example, a recordable and erasable semiconductor memory or a magnetic tape, and has the same function as an answering machine. So, in this memory, for example, "I am currently in a meeting and cannot answer the call. Please call back after 15 minutes", "It is not convenient now, so please talk unilaterally from there", "Okay Various voice messages such as “” have been input in advance. Further, the storage means 24 also has an incoming message memory 32 and is configured to be able to input a message of a person making a call. In this case, the capacity of the incoming message memory 32 is smaller than the memory capacity of a general answering machine and is sufficient. For example, a general micro-cassette for answering machine can be used for 30 minutes, but in the case of the present embodiment, it is enough for 5 cases, that is, for about 5 minutes as 1 case for 1 case. The reason for this is that the answering machine function of this type of mobile phone is used when it is not possible to answer the phone due to temporary circumstances, and it is unlikely that the contents of incoming calls for more than one day will be stored. Because.

The storage means 24 is configured to automatically operate in response to a command from the telephone controller 12 when the incoming buzzer sound counter 22 has counted a predetermined number of times. Further, even when the selection switch 26 is selecting the buzzer 14 or the vibration call unit 20, the telephone is automatically connected by pressing the start button 34, and the response message stored in the storage means 24 flows. Is configured. In this case, it is preferable that an arbitrary message can be selected from among several kinds of stored messages by a combination with the button of the operation unit 18. Further, in the present embodiment, the user of this portable telephone has a function capable of responding to the content of the other party's talk without saying a word. Specifically, in order to perform this function, a dedicated button such as a * button 18a is assigned to the operation unit 18, and when the * button 18a is pressed, the storage means 24 is operated. Then, for example, a voice message such as "It is not convenient at the moment, so please speak one-way from there" or the like can be transmitted. Then, a YES button 18b and a NO button 18c are formed on the operation unit 18 in order to answer YES and NO to the question from the conversation partner, and at the same time, the communication is completed from the conversation partner and the recipient understands. When the * button 18a is pressed again to inform the user, a message such as "OK" is sent out. Then, the portable telephone 2 is supplied with electric power by the power supply means 21.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be described. First, before use, various voice messages are registered in the storage means 24 in advance. For example, if you have a conference scheduled for about 15 minutes, you can associate it with the transmit buzzer sound counter 22 before joining this conference, for example, “I am currently in a conference and cannot answer the call. Please call back later "etc., and in association with the start button 34," I can not release my hand now. Please call back after 5 minutes "or" I can not release it now. Please wait a moment. , Etc. are stored. In addition, as a dedicated button, for example, in association with the * button 18a, for example, "I am uncomfortable at present, so please talk unilaterally from there" is stored. When the storage operation of various messages is completed as described above, the selection switch 26 is connected to the vibration call unit 20 immediately before participating in the conference to participate in the conference. Then, when the incoming call from the third party is recognized by the vibration of the vibration call unit 20 during the conference, the user operates the start button 34 and the button of the operation unit 18 to select a message such as "just now. Do not let go. Please call back after 5 minutes "and send this message to the person who called you.

Then, after about 5 minutes, the user leaves the conference room, waits for an incoming call again, and directly interacts with the person who called. If the response message "I can't let go now. Please wait a moment" is output, the user immediately leaves the conference room and directly interacts with the person who called. In addition, if the user of the mobile phone has to speak during a conference due to a report announcement, etc., the selector switch 26 is operated immediately before the announcement to connect it to the incoming buzzer sound counter 22, and the announcement is given. To do.

When an incoming call is received from a third party during this utterance, even if the incoming call is sensed by the vibration of the vibrator, the call cannot be answered. In this case, the number of times the signal for driving the incoming buzzer is transmitted is counted, and when the count value reaches a predetermined number, for example, 5 times, the telephone control unit 12 automatically drives the storage means 24 and a voice message is sent. For example, print out "I am currently in a meeting and cannot answer the call. Please call back in 15 minutes" to inform the caller of this. In this case, the user can transmit a predetermined message to the person who called the user without performing any operation, and the user can issue a report or the like without any hindrance. Will be able to continue. Further, in this case, when the caller wants to leave a message, the message is stored in the incoming memory 32, so that the user can make a call after the conference ends. When the status is reached, check the message left in the memory 32 and call the other party.

When the user is in the public such as on a train or the like, he / she recognizes an incoming call by the vibration call unit 20 and wants to talk about confidential contents or private contents. The operation when there is no vibration will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 3. First, when a vibration call is recognized by the vibration of the vibration call unit 20 (S1), the call button 18d of the operation unit 18 is turned on (S2), , Immediately turn on a dedicated button previously assigned, for example, the * button 18a (S3). As a result, the telephone control unit 12 operates the storage means 24 (S4) and outputs a message to the person making the call, for example, "It is not convenient at the moment, so please talk unilaterally from there". ..

The other party who receives this message begins to speak unilaterally, and is in a one-way call state from the sender. On the other hand, when the sender wants to hear the receiver's reply in the call state, the receiver, that is, the user of the mobile phone, answers to the question from the sender whether the content is YES or NO. If it is judged (S5) and the result is NO, the NO button 18c of the operation unit 18 is turned on (S6), and a "NO" message is transmitted from the storage means 24 to the sender. If the content of the story is YES, the YES button 18b is turned on (S7), and the message "YES" is transmitted from the storage means 24 to the sender. Then, if the call continues and the content of the entire story is transmitted and the recipient understands the content (S8), the recipient finally turns on the * button 18a of the operation unit 18 again ( S9). As a result, a message such as "OK" is output from the storage means 24 and transmitted to the sender to complete the call.

In this case, the receiver can talk with the sender by simply operating a button without speaking a word. In the above embodiment, the case where the vibration call unit 20 is integrally provided in the telephone body has been described, but the invention is not limited to this, and the vibration call unit 20 is separated from the telephone body 40 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, it may be provided separately. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the transmission / reception antenna 4, the antenna sharing device 6d, the transmitting unit 6b, the receiving unit 6a, and the like are included in the telephone main body 40 as shown in FIG. All other components except 20 are housed. As shown in FIG. 7, the vibration call unit 20 is provided with an antenna 42 dedicated to reception, an antenna duplexer 6d such as an antenna duplexer connected to the antenna 42, and a reception unit 6a. The receiver 6a is set to operate at the same reception frequency as the operating frequency of the telephone body 40.

A vibrator driver 44 is connected to the receiver 6a, and a vibrator 46 is connected to the driver 44, which is configured to vibrate when an incoming call is made. ing. Then, when the vibration call unit 42 is vibrating, the power of the vibration call unit 42 can be turned off by turning on the switch of the transceiver of the telephone body 40, for example, the call button 18d (see FIG. 1). Is instructed wirelessly from the telephone body 40. Further, when the switch of the telephone body 40 is off, the current of the vibration call section 42 is turned on. The vibration part 20 thus configured as a whole can be formed to be extremely lightweight and compact, and can be easily put in a chest pocket of a shirt or the like, and it is not bothersome to the user.

Although a semiconductor memory is used as the storage means 24 in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a microcassette tape may be used. Also, the message to be stored is not limited to the one described above, and other different messages may be stored depending on the usage.
