DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of a portable telephone device according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiment 1 FIG. First, the configuration will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a mobile phone device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The mobile phone device shown in FIG. 1 includes a transmitting antenna 1, a receiving antenna 2, a transmitting unit 3, a receiving unit 4, a code unit 5, a decoding unit 6, a control unit 7, a mode switching unit 8, a speaker 9, and a vibrator 10. , An operation / display unit 11, and a call mode automatic switching unit 12. The microphone used for the call is omitted.

The transmitting antenna 1 wirelessly outputs transmission data transmitted from the transmitting unit 3. Receiving antenna 2
Captures radio waves transmitted from a base station (not shown), captures received data, and outputs the received data to the receiving unit 4. The transmitting unit 3
The transmission data converted by the code section 5 is output to the transmission antenna 1. The receiving unit 4 receives data output from the receiving antenna 2 and outputs the data to the decoding unit 6.

The code section 5 codes the transmission data input from the control section 7 and outputs it to the transmission section 3. The decoding unit 6 decodes the received data input from the receiving unit 4 and outputs the data to the control unit 7. The control unit 7 includes a microprocessor and a memory, and controls the entire device. The control unit 7 performs control according to, for example, programs according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively.

The mode switching unit 8 operates in accordance with a mode manually instructed from the operation / display unit 11, and operates in accordance with switching from the vibrator mode to the alert mode automatically instructed by the automatic call mode switching unit 12. . Also in the first embodiment, since two types of calling modes, vibrator mode and alert mode, are provided, when the vibrator mode is instructed, switching to vibrator 10 is performed, while alert mode is instructed. If so, switching to the speaker 9 is performed.

The loudspeaker 9 outputs a sound during a call and outputs a sound as an incoming call in the alert mode. The vibrator 10 vibrates as an incoming call in the vibrator mode. The operation / display unit 11
It has a display surface for displaying information such as a telephone number according to an instruction from the control unit 7 and an operation surface for designating a mode to be selected by the mode switching unit 8.

After the call mode is switched from the alert mode to the vibrator mode in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 7, the automatic call mode switching unit 12 sends a signal to the mode switching unit 8 when a certain number of missed calls are received. Automatically instructs to switch the calling mode.

Next, the automatic call mode switching section 12 will be described. FIG. 2 shows a call mode automatic switching unit 12.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the device. The automatic call mode switching unit 12 includes, for example, an alert switching count register 12A and a continuous incoming call miss counter 12B. The alert switching count register 12A is a memory that receives and registers the alert switching count (N) from the control unit 7. The number of times for alert switching is a value indicating the timing of automatically switching from the vibrator mode to the alert mode, and is a constant value for comparison with the number of missed calls in the vibrator mode. The continuous missed call counter 12B is a counter that counts the number of missed calls (C) in the vibrator mode.

Next, the operation will be described. First, a method of setting the above-described alert switching count register 12A will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a main operation procedure according to the first embodiment. Control unit 7
Detects an input operation on the operation / display unit 11. When the input operation is detected, it is first determined whether or not the number of times for alert switching has been input (step S1).

As a result, if the number of times of alert switching is input, the number of times of alert switching (N) is inputted through the operation / display unit 11 (step S3), and the number of times of alert switching (N) is inputted. Is output to the call mode automatic switching unit 12, where the alert switching number register 1
2A is set (step S3). If the operation is other than the input of the number of times for alert switching, a process corresponding to the input operation is executed.

Next, the incoming call operation will be described. Here, it is assumed that the alert switching count (N) has already been set in the alert switching count register 12A. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an incoming call operation according to the first embodiment. When there is an incoming call to this apparatus, the calling mode currently selected by the mode switching unit 8 is confirmed (step S11).

As a result, if the alert mode has been selected (step S11), a sound is output from the speaker 9 as an incoming call. On the other hand, if the vibrator mode has been selected (step S1
1) The vibration control of the vibrator 10 is started as an incoming call (step S12). During the vibrating operation, it is determined whether or not there is a response operation to the incoming call (step S13). Step S13 is repeated until the vibrating operation ends.
The process returns to 13. In step S13, the control unit 7
The signal of the incoming call response is detected from the operation / display unit 11.

During the vibrating operation, if an operation for answering the incoming call is confirmed in step S13, an instruction to reset the continuous missed call counter 12B is sent from the control unit 7 to the automatic call mode switching unit 12. (Step S14). Thereafter, the line is connected and the call control is started.

When the vibration operation period is completed and there is no operation for answering the incoming call during the vibration operation (step S15), first, the vibration operation is controlled to end (step S15).
16) Thereafter, the control unit 7 sends an instruction to the automatic call mode switching unit 12 to increment the count of the continuous incoming call miss counter 12B by 1 (step S17). Then, the incoming call processing ends.

Next, automatic switching of the calling mode will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the automatic call mode switching unit 12. The automatic call mode switching unit 12 constantly checks whether or not there is an instruction from the control unit 7 (step S21). Then, an instruction from the control unit 7 is input (step S21), and if the content is an instruction to reset the continuous incoming call miss counter 12B (step S22), the process proceeds to step S23, and the process proceeds to step S23. The alert change count register 12A is updated using the set value (N) sent from the server. Thereafter, the process returns to step S21.

If an instruction from the control section 7 is input (step S21) and the content is an instruction to increment the number of missed calls (step S22), the process proceeds to step S24, and the process proceeds to step S24. Missing counter 12
The number of missed calls of B is incremented by one. afterwards,
The process proceeds to step S25. In step S25, the current number of missed calls (C) is compared with the set value (N) of the alert switch count register 12A. As a result, if the number of missed calls (C) has not yet reached the set value (N), the process returns to step S21.
If it has reached, the process proceeds to step S26.

In step S26, an instruction to switch from the vibrator mode, which is the current calling mode, to the alert mode for generating a sound is automatically sent to the mode switching unit 26. Thus, the mode switching unit 8 selects the alert mode as the calling mode. Further, in step S27, the value of the continuous incoming call miss counter 12B is reset, that is, set to zero. Thereafter, the process returns to step S21.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, missed calls for incoming calls notified by vibrator 10 (vibrator mode) are continuously counted, and the continuously counted missed calls are counted. If the number of calls is more than a certain number, the incoming call is
(Alert mode) notification is controlled.

[0044] Thereby, an optimal call can be made at the time of an incoming call according to the situation of missed incoming calls, so that it is not necessary to switch between sound notification and vibration notification as appropriate for carrying or not carrying. It is possible to avoid problems in life caused by forgetting the proper switching.

In addition, since the automatic call mode switching unit 12 is constituted by a circuit independent of the control unit 7 for an incoming call, the load in the apparatus for automatic switching of the call mode is distributed. Thereby, the load on the control unit 12 can be reduced.

Further, since the automatic call mode switching unit 12 directs the switching of the mode switching unit 8, the load in the apparatus is dispersed with respect to the switching control of the mode switching unit 8. Thereby, the load on the control unit 12 can be reduced.

The alert switching count register 12A
Since the set value is set arbitrarily, it is possible to realize the optimum switching timing for the usage form of the user.

Further, since the alert mode switching unit 12 is provided with the alert switching count register 12A, independent switching control can be realized at high speed only by the alert mode automatic switching unit 12 side.
