Abstract

(57) [Summary] A conventional vibrator is used by dropping it into a pocket, so that not only is it difficult for a small vibration to be sensed by a human body, but also the vibrator itself is easily lost. The present invention relates to a mobile phone having a vibrator provided on a mobile phone itself, wherein the vibrator is mounted on a wrist with a band or a bracelet so that the vibrator comes into contact with a human body and transmits vibration. Also, in the case of a separate type vibrator separated from the telephone body, the vibrator is provided with a clip, a hook, or the like,
It can be attached to clothes so that vibrations can be transmitted to the human body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cellular, PHS
And the like for mobile communication telephones (hereinafter referred to as mobile phones).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a mobile phone, when an incoming call is received,
It is common to use a ringtone emitted from the body of the mobile phone to notify the user of such a situation. In the case of such a ringtone, there is no problem when you are alone, but there are many people in offices and trains. In such a place, the fact that the ring tone can be heard by itself will alert many people who are not concerned, and it is possible to avoid the situation where such a ring tone sounds at multiple places in the same space such as a train Was sought.

As a countermeasure, there has been proposed a so-called vibrator system in which a small vibrator separately provided from a portable telephone vibrates to notify an incoming call.

[0004]

However, since the conventional vibrator is used by dropping it into a pocket,
Small vibrations are not only difficult to detect with a human body, but also have the disadvantage that the vibrator itself is easily lost.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the present invention relates to a portable telephone having a vibrator provided in the portable telephone itself. For a small mobile phone to be worn on the arm with a band or bracelet, or for a separate type vibrator separated from the phone body,
The vibrator is provided with a clip, a hook, or the like, so that the vibrator can be attached to clothes so that vibration is transmitted to a human body.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a mobile phone, an antenna 2,
It comprises a high frequency section 3, a control section 4, a key matrix 5, a motor 6 as a vibration source of a vibrator, and a manual switch 7 for stopping (releasing) the vibration.

FIG. 2A shows a portable telephone 1 provided with a band B for attaching the portable telephone 1 itself to an arm.
It is convenient to provide the antenna 2 with a built-in antenna 2 without having to provide a protruding antenna.

In the portable telephone 1 constructed as described above, when an incoming signal is received through the antenna 2 and the high frequency unit 3, the control unit 4 drives the motor 6 which is a vibration source, and the motor 6
By vibrating the mobile phone 1 itself or at least the back plate 1a of the main body shown in FIG. 2 (b) with the driving force described above, the vibration is transmitted to the human body with which the back plate 1a is in contact. It is possible to notify that an incoming signal due to oscillation from another telephone has entered.

By providing the projection T on the back plate 1a of the telephone 1, the transmission of vibrations to the human body can be further enhanced, and the fact that an incoming call has been received can be reliably transmitted and notified.

Next, a description will be given of an embodiment in which the portable telephone 1 and a vibrator for notifying an incoming signal by vibration are provided separately, that is, a separated type. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 'denotes a telephone, and antennas 2 and 2a, Unit 3, control unit 4,
V is a vibrator separate from the telephone set 1 ', and V is a receiving antenna 2b, a receiving unit 9, a motor 10, which is a vibration source, a control unit 11, and a vibrator. Manual switch 7 to stop
And the vibrator V thus configured is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), the back side of the tie pin N (human body side)
Attached to the clip C. Note that the antenna 2b may be provided independently, but if the clip C is formed of metal, the tie pin N itself is connected to the antenna 2b.
It is good to use as b.

In such a portable telephone, when the portable telephone 1 'detects an incoming call through the antenna 2 and the high frequency section 3, the control section 4 transmits an ID (unique identification) message from the antenna 2a through the vibrator transmitting section 8. On the vibrator V side, the ID message is received by the antenna 2b and the receiving section 9, and the control section 11 receives the ID message.
After confirming that D and the own ID match, a driving signal is transmitted to the motor 10 and the vibration of the vibrator V is started by the rotation of the motor 10. At this time, when it is sensed that the user wearing the vibrator V on the tie has received an incoming call, the mobile phone 1 'is taken out and the incoming call button on the key matrix 5 is pressed to enter the talking state.
, An end message is transmitted to the vibrator V side via the vibrator transmitting unit 8 and the antenna 2a. If the end message is received via the antenna 2b and the receiving unit 9, the control unit 11 sends the end message to the motor 10.
Is controlled to stop the vibration of the vibrator V. Note that the manual switch 7 is for manually stopping the vibration after detecting the incoming call, but is not necessarily required to perform an operation of pressing an incoming call button provided on the mobile phone 1 'for starting a call. It is convenient to use when you want to stop vibration arbitrarily without doing.

When such a tie pin N is attached to a tie, the vibrator V is hidden behind the tie, so that the vibrator V is not obtrusive and obstructive. Because of the contact, the vibration can be reliably transmitted to the human body regardless of the magnitude of the vibration part or the magnitude of the amplitude.

Further, in general, for a woman who does not use the tie pin N, a hook F is provided on a vibrator V having an outer shape of a broach as shown in FIG. It is good to wear it on the waist belt of the skirt so as to be on the body side, or to adhere to underwear or brassiere.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned block diagrams of the portable telephones 1, 1 'and the vibrator V are not limited to these, and it is needless to say that they may be added or changed according to the operation or function if necessary. .

[0015]

According to the present invention, the vibrator vibrates inside the clothes under the condition of contacting the skin of the human body. Therefore, it is possible to reliably notify an incoming call to the separate portable telephone body even if the vibration is small. it can. In addition, since even a small vibration is sufficiently sensed, it does not emit a sound to disturb others, and since the vibration may be smaller, an extremely small motor may be used, so that a small battery can be used, and it can be used for a long time. Not only that, it is very useful because it can be attached to the clip on the back of the watch type or tie pin, and if you are a woman you can keep it on the chest,
A convenient mobile phone system that does not bother others can be provided.
