Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain difference from the call incoming tone of another portable telephone set and to separately listen to the call incoming tones by providing a mechanism for sounding any arbitrary call incoming tone set by a user when a call incoming signal is received. SOLUTION: A control part 6 performs the analytic processing of received data, detects call incoming data out of the received data and reads out any arbitrary call incoming tone data set by the user stored in a memory 14. Based on the arbitrary call incoming tone data set by a user, the control part 6 designates any output frequency to an audible frequency generating part 12 and designates any output rhythm. Under the control of control part 6, the audible frequency generating part 12 inputs the signal at the arbitrary frequency set by the user to a signal processing part 5. At such a time, the control part 6 designates any sounder output bus to the processing part 5. The signal processing part 5 inputs the signal at the arbitrary frequency set by the user to a sounder 12 and the sounder 12 outputs it to the outside as the call incoming tone.

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a mobile phone,
In particular, the present invention relates to a mobile phone having a function of generating a ringing tone or a notification tone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional portable telephone of this type will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional mobile phone.

Referring to FIG. 10, the conventional mobile phone includes a transmitter 101, a receiver 102, a shared 103, an antenna 104, a signal processor 105, a controller 106, an operation unit 107, a power supply 108, a microphone 109, and a receiver. 11
0, sounder 111, alarm sound generator 112, clock 11
3, memory 114. Notification voice generator 11
2 may be configured within the signal processing unit 105, but here, the notification sound generation unit 112 is configured separately from the signal processing unit 105. .

The voice inputted from the microphone 109 is FM-modulated by the signal processor 105 through the microphone amplifier, bandpass filter, compressor and pre-emphasis circuit by the transmitter 101 and transmitted from the antenna 104 through the duplexer 103. Further, in reception, the signal passes from the antenna 104 to the duplexer 103, and the reception unit 102 receives the FM signal.
The signal is demodulated, passed through the de-emphasis, band-pass filter, expander, and receiver amplifier circuits in the signal processing unit 105, and output as sound from the receiver 110.

The control unit 106 controls the channel designation of the transmission unit 101, the carrier on / off control, the channel designation of the reception unit 102, the received electric field monitoring control, and the signal processing unit 105.
Voice path designation, data processing with base station, operation unit 10
7 and data control and control of the power supply unit 108. Also,
The control unit 106 analyzes the data from the operation unit 107 and the received data from the signal processing unit 105, and if necessary, the notification sound generation unit 112 and the sounder output path of the signal processing unit 105 or the tone of the signal processing unit 105. The generation circuit and the sounder output path are controlled so that the sounder 111 outputs a sound.

Next, the operation of outputting the notification sound will be described with reference to FIG.

The user sets the ringing time of the notification sound from the operation unit 107. The control unit 106 performs data processing of the operation unit 107 and stores the ringing time of the notification sound in the memory 114. The control unit 106 reads the current time from the clock unit 113, and compares the current time with the ringing time of the notification sound stored in the memory 114 to determine if they match. When the control unit 106 detects that the ringing time of the notification sound matches the current time, the control unit 106 turns on the notification sound generation unit 112. Then, the sounder output path is designated in the signal processing unit 105.
The notification sound generation unit 112 inputs the notification sound signal to the processed signal unit 105. The signal processing unit 105 inputs the notification sound signal to the sounder 111. The sounder 111 outputs a notification sound to the outside.

The notification sound at this time has a structure in which a signal having a certain constant frequency and a certain period of a certain period is repeatedly generated with respect to time.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the waveform of this conventional notification sound. In FIG. 11, a conventional notification sound is configured by repeating a certain constant frequency f ₁₀ on a time axis at a certain constant cycle (ON time 20 ms, OFF time 10 ms) for a certain time (210 ms). The signal is configured to be repeated at a constant interval (290 ms).

Here, the signal having a certain frequency f ₁₀ and a certain period is a signal output from the notification sound generator 112, and the frequency f ₁₀ and the period are preset by the manufacturer. Therefore, the notification sound output from the sounder 111 is one type for one conventional mobile phone.

Although the notification sound has been described in this conventional example, the same applies to the ringing sound.

[0013]

In this conventional portable telephone, the portable telephone has become widespread, and there is a high possibility that a portable telephone other than the own portable telephone exists within a certain range. Although there are various types of mobile phones, the ring tone of the mobile phone is the same or similar because it is preset by the manufacturer. Therefore, when the ring tone of another person's mobile phone within a certain range rings, it is not possible to distinguish between the ring tone of your own mobile phone and the ring tone of another person's mobile phone, and the ring tone of your own mobile phone is not received. There was a problem that I often misunderstood the sound.

Further, the notification function of this conventional portable telephone (function of sounding a notification sound at an arbitrary time set by the user) is used for the purpose of alarm clock, notification of lunch time, notification of promised time, etc. However, the notification sound is only one kind, and a plurality of notification sounds cannot be set at the same time. Therefore, when using both the same time notification (alarm clock, etc.) and fluid time notification (promised time notification, etc.) every day, the user must change the ringing time each time. It will not bother the user,
Therefore, there is a problem that the range of intended use of the notification function that can be used for multiple purposes is narrowed.
