Description

  The present invention relates to an incoming call notification method for a portable wireless terminal.

  Examples of means for notifying a conventional mobile radio terminal of an incoming call include output of a set ringtone and vibration of a vibrator. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-163971 (Patent Document 1), in the incoming call notification method of a wireless telephone terminal that notifies an incoming call by generating an audible sound when an incoming call is received at a wireless telephone terminal, the number received is preliminarily set. There is described an incoming call notification system for a wireless telephone terminal provided with voice reproducing means for outputting a caller name stored in correspondence with the number stored in correspondence with the number stored in the wireless telephone terminal. However, if the notification is made only when the incoming call is received, the user may forget that the incoming call has been received or may not be aware of the incoming call.

Therefore, as a technique for displaying that there has been an incoming call, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-274866 (Patent Document 2) discloses a technique in which a folding cellular phone including a main body and a cover member attached to the main body so as to be opened and closed is absent. The incoming call display device is characterized in that it is performed by a first missed call display means that can be confirmed when the missed call display is closed and a second missed call display means that can be confirmed when it is opened. An incoming call notification device when a foldable mobile phone is absent is described.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-163971 JP 2001-274866

  However, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-274866, in order for a user to notice a missed call, the missed call display must be visually confirmed. If you cannot see the missed call because you notice it for the first time, for example, if you have your phone in your bag or pocket, you may leave it for a long time without noticing the missed call. . Moreover, even if a missed call is noticed, there is a possibility that a situation occurs in which the user forgets to answer the call later.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a portable wireless terminal capable of preventing being left unattended for a long time without noticing a missed call. That is.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, the portable wireless terminal detects reception of identification information for identifying a caller, and receives in response to reception of the identification information. Informing means for informing the user, switching instruction detecting means for detecting an instruction to switch to the call mode by the user, missed incoming call detecting means for detecting a missed call in which no switching instruction is detected until the notification by the informing means is completed, Identification information storage means for storing the identification information of the detected missed call, timing means for measuring the elapsed time since the missed call detection means is detected by the missed call detection means, and before the predetermined time is counted by the timing means And re-notification means for notifying again when the instruction to output the identification information stored in the identification information storage means is not detected.

  According to the present invention, the notification is notified by the notification means, and when the instruction to switch to the call operation by the user is not detected by the end of the notification, the call is missed. Further, after a missed call, the notification is again made when a predetermined time has passed without detecting an instruction to output identification information. Since the notification is made again after a predetermined time has elapsed, the user can easily know that there was a missed call later even if the call cannot be made due to reasons such as missed or not noticed at the time of the first notification. As a result, it is possible to provide a portable wireless terminal capable of preventing a situation in which the user is left unattended for a long time without noticing a missed call.

  Preferably, the missed call detection unit further detects a missed call in which an instruction to switch to the answering machine mode is detected before the notification by the reporting unit is completed.

  According to the present invention, when an instruction to switch to the answering machine mode is detected before the notification by the notification means is completed, it is determined that the call is a missed call, and a predetermined time has elapsed without detecting an instruction to output identification information. Then, it notifies again. Even when the mode is switched to the answering machine mode, the notification is made again after a predetermined time has elapsed, so that it is possible to provide a portable wireless terminal capable of preventing a situation where the user is left unattended for a long time without noticing the missed call.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, the portable wireless terminal receives data transmitted from the other party of communication, a data storage means for storing the received data, and data reception by the receiving means. In response, a reception notifying means for notifying the user of the data reception, a time measuring means for measuring the elapsed time since the data was received by the receiving means, and a data storage before the predetermined time is measured by the time measuring means. And a re-notification means for notifying again when the output instruction of the data stored in the means is not detected.

  According to the present invention, after the data reception is notified, if a data output instruction is not detected before a predetermined time has elapsed since the data was received, the data reception is notified again.

  Since the notification is made again after a predetermined time has elapsed, the user can know that the data has been received later even if the user is absent or not aware of the reception at the time of data reception. As a result, it is possible to provide a portable wireless terminal capable of preventing a situation in which the user is left unattended for a long time without noticing data reception.

  Preferably, it further includes designated identification information storage means for storing identification information designated in advance, and the re-notification means informs again about only the identification information stored in the designated identification information storage means.

  According to this invention, only the incoming call from the designated identification information is notified again. For this reason, the user can be set to perform re-notification only for an incoming call from a designated partner, and is not bothered by unnecessary re-notification.

  Preferably, the information processing apparatus further includes identification information extraction means for extracting the identification information of the other party included in the received data, and designation identification information storage means for storing the identification information designated in advance. Only the identification information stored in the information storage means is notified again.

  According to the present invention, only the data reception from the partner of the specified identification information is notified again. For this reason, the user can be set to perform re-notification only for data reception from a designated partner, and is not bothered by unnecessary re-notification.

  Preferably, the re-notification unit is capable of performing a plurality of types of notification operations, the specified identification information storage unit stores the identification information in association with one of the plurality of types of notification operations, and the re-notification unit is configured to perform the specified identification. Re-notification is performed by the notification operation stored in association with the identification information in the information storage unit.

  According to this invention, the notification operation and the identification information are stored in association with each other. For this reason, when the user is re-notified, the user can know whether there is an incoming call, data reception, or who has received the call.

  Preferably, the re-notification unit repeats re-notification, and repeats until a re-notification end time longer than a predetermined time elapses or until the number of repetitions reaches a predetermined number.

  According to this invention, the re-notification is repeated until the re-notification end time elapses or the number of repetitions reaches a predetermined number. For this reason, the user is not re-notified indefinitely by designating the time or number of times to re-notify.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol in the figure shows the same or equivalent member, and the overlapping description is not repeated.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a foldable mobile phone according to a first embodiment of a mobile radio terminal of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a mobile phone 100 includes a control unit 13 that performs overall control, a communication circuit unit 2, a key input unit 3, an open / close state detection unit 4, and a voice processing unit 5 coupled thereto. A display unit 8, a vibration unit 9, a storage unit 10, and an LED (Light Emitting Diode) 14. Furthermore, antenna 1 coupled to communication circuit unit 2, speaker 6 coupled to audio processing unit 5, and microphone 7 are included.

  The communication circuit unit 2 transmits and receives signals via the antenna 1. The audio processing unit 5 processes signals transmitted and received by the communication circuit unit 2, outputs the signal processed from the speaker 6 as sound, and collects sound from the microphone 7. This realizes a call function as a mobile phone. The speaker 6 is also used as means for notifying the user of information such as an incoming call by sound. Similarly, the vibration unit 9 notifies the user of information such as an incoming call by vibration of the vibrator and the LED 14 blinks.

  The key input unit 3 includes a plurality of keys, a numeric keypad, a power supply switch, a call start key for switching to the call mode, an answering machine key for switching to the answering machine mode, and reception data for outputting received data. Including an output key, etc., it is used for inputting numbers and characters, and for switching between a call mode and an answering machine mode.

The display unit 8 is a display device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), and displays data input by the key input unit 3, various data stored in the terminal, setting information, and the like. In addition, information such as an incoming call is notified by display using characters or pictograms.

  The open / close state detection unit 4 has a function of detecting the open / close state of the terminal body of the foldable mobile phone according to the present embodiment. In accordance with the open / close state detected by the open / close state detection unit 4, the control unit 13 performs a switching process such as the start and end of a call and a display / non-display switching process of the display unit 8.

  The storage unit 10 is a memory that stores various setting information. Here, the setting information stored in the storage unit 10 includes a notification operation. The notification operation defines an operation pattern for each notification device. The notification device includes a display unit 8, a vibration unit 9, a speaker 6, and an LED 14.

  The operation pattern of the display unit 8 includes a pattern for displaying a telephone number and a pattern for not displaying it. The operation pattern of the vibration unit 9 is defined by the vibration time and the non-vibration time per predetermined time of the vibrator. The operation pattern of the vibration unit 9 includes a pattern that does not vibrate the vibrator. The operation pattern of the speaker 6 includes a pattern of only a plurality of sounds registered in advance. The operation pattern of the speaker 6 includes a pattern that does not output sound. The operation pattern of the LED 14 is defined by a light emission time and a non-light emission time per predetermined time. The operation pattern of the LED 14 includes a pattern that does not emit light.

  In addition, the storage unit 10 includes an identification information storage unit 11 that stores the identification information of the caller, and a designated identification information storage unit 12 that stores therein identification information to be re-notified in advance.

  The identification information storage unit 11 stores the received identification information in association with the reception time when the identification information was received. In this embodiment, the identification information is the telephone number of the caller. The specified identification information storage unit 12 stores the specified identification information to be re-notified and the re-notification information in association with each other. The designation identification information is identification information designated by the user, and is identification information that the user desires to re-report. The mobile phone 100 in the present embodiment re-notifies when the designated identification information stored in the designated identification information storage unit 12 matches the identification information stored in the identification information storage unit 11. Therefore, the user can re-notify only an incoming call from a desired partner. In addition, you may make it alert | report again with respect to all the incoming calls, without using designation | designated identification information. In this case, the designated identification information storage unit 12 is not necessary.

  Here, re-notification refers to re-notification according to re-notification information when communication is terminated without detecting a line connection instruction (instruction for switching to a call mode) from a user during a notification operation.

  The re-notification information includes a re-notification interval, a re-notification operation, a re-notification time, and an end condition.

  The re-notification interval is the time from the end of notification or re-notification until the start of the next re-notification.

  The re-notification operation is a notification operation at the time of re-notification. Therefore, the re-notification operation is the same as the above-described notification operation notification operation. As another form, the re-notification operation may be stored in the designated identification information storage unit 12 differently from the notification operation described above. Thereby, the first notification operation and the subsequent re-notification operation can be made different for one incoming call.

  The re-notification time is an execution time of the re-notification operation, and one re-notification is performed only during this time.

  The termination condition is a condition for terminating the re-notification. The end condition includes a maximum number of times of repeating the notification and a predetermined re-notification end time until the re-notification is ended. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the re-notification is finished when it is repeated up to the maximum number of times. As another form, the re-notification process may be terminated when the re-notification process exceeds the re-notification end time. Furthermore, the re-notification may be terminated if one of these conditions is satisfied or both are satisfied.

  The cellular phone 100 receives a signal from the base station by the antenna 1 and processes it by the control unit 13 via the communication circuit unit 2. When the control unit 13 detects an incoming call signal from the base station, the mobile phone 100 notifies the user of the incoming call. When the telephone number of the caller is notified when the call is received, the control unit 13 stores the telephone number in the identification information storage unit 11 and displays the telephone number on the display unit 8.

  When the user detects an operation of the call start key of the key input unit 3, that is, an instruction to switch to the call mode, during the notification operation, the control unit 13 connects the line. When the line is connected, a call between the user and the caller becomes possible.

  When the instruction to switch to the call mode from the user is not detected during the notification operation and the end of the incoming call signal from the base station is detected, the control unit 13 ends the notification operation and determines that it is a missed call. Here, the termination of the incoming call signal from the base station means that the caller has terminated the communication.

  When the control unit 13 determines that the call is a missed call, the display unit 8 displays that the missed call has been received. As a method for displaying a missed call, characters or pictographs are displayed on the display unit 8. In addition to this, there is a method of blinking the display unit 8 or the LED 14.

  Further, the mobile phone 100 has an answering machine function. The answering machine function (1) is set in the answering machine mode in advance. (2) After the incoming call, the user switches to the answering machine mode by operating the answering machine key of the key input unit 3, that is, switching to the answering machine mode. There are two ways of use. In the case of (1), the control unit 13 determines that an instruction for switching to the answering machine mode has been inputted when the incoming call is detected and the designated time has elapsed. In the case of (2), the control unit 13 detects the switching instruction of the user as it is. Thus, when the input of the instruction to switch to the answering machine mode is detected, the control unit 13 ends the notification operation and determines that the call is a missed call. Also, when the line disconnection is detected during the notification operation, the control unit 13 ends the notification operation and determines that the call is a missed call.

  Furthermore, after a missed call, the mobile phone 100 executes a re-notification operation when the time specified by the re-notification interval elapses without detecting an instruction to output identification information. In addition, it will be in a standby state after the end of re-notification.

  Next, the notification operation and re-notification operation processing in mobile phone 100 in the present embodiment will be described. Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the telephone number of the caller is the telephone number A, and the telephone number A is designated and stored in the designated identification information storage unit 12 by the user. In association with the telephone number A, the re-notification operation “notification operation 1”, the re-notification time “15 seconds”, the re-notification interval “every 5 minutes”, and the end condition “3 times notification” are designated identification information. It is assumed that it is stored in the storage unit 12. Further, it is assumed that the notification operation 1 is stored in the storage unit 10.

  In the notification operation 1, the operation pattern of the display unit 8 is set as “a pattern for displaying a telephone number”, and the operation pattern of the vibration unit 9 is defined as “vibration time 1 per predetermined time of the vibrator and non-vibration time 1”. Vibration pattern 1 ”, the operation pattern of the speaker 6 is“ sound pattern 1 ”, and the operation pattern of the LED 14 is“ light emission pattern 1 defined by light emission time 1 per predetermined time and non-light emission time 1 ”. .

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing in the control unit 13 regarding the notification operation in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 2, in step S01, an incoming call is detected. If an incoming call is detected, the process proceeds to step S02, and if not detected, a standby state is entered. When the caller's telephone number is received when the call is received, the identification information storage unit 11 stores the identification information of the caller.

  In step S02, a notification operation is started. Here, the notification operation 1 is used for notification. The notification operation differs from the notification operation stored in the storage unit 10 depending on whether the received identification information of the caller and the identification information specified in the specified identification information storage unit 12 match each other or not. Can be assigned. Thereby, the user can know whether it is the designated caller by alerting | reporting operation | movement.

  In step S03, step S04, and step S06, a missed call is detected. First, in step S03, it is determined whether or not an instruction to switch to the call mode is detected. When the switching instruction is not detected during the incoming call notification (NO in S03), the process proceeds to step S04. In step S04, it is detected whether an instruction to switch to the answering machine mode is issued. If the instruction to switch to the answering machine mode is not detected (NO in S04), the process proceeds to step S06. In step S06, the communication end of the communication partner is detected. If the end of communication is detected (YES in S06), the control unit 13 determines that the call is a missed call and proceeds to step S07. If the end of communication cannot be detected (NO in S06), the process returns to step S03 and the process is repeated.

  If a call mode switching instruction is detected in step S03, the process proceeds to step S05. In step S05, the notification operation is stopped and the user starts a call. After the call ends, the process ends and returns to the standby state. If an instruction to switch to the answering machine mode is detected in step S04 (YES in S04), the process proceeds to step S07.

  If it progresses to step S07 from step S04 or step S06, alerting | reporting operation | movement will be complete | finished and it will determine with a missed call. The end of the notification operation is to terminate the display of the telephone number on the display unit 8, stop the vibrator of the vibration unit 9, stop the output of sound from the speaker 6, and stop the light emission of the LED 14. In the answering machine mode, even after the notification operation is completed, a transition to the next step is awaited until the communication partner ends communication. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S08.

  In the answering machine mode, it is also possible to execute the re-notification operation without performing the notification operation when an incoming call is received.

  In step S08, timing of elapsed time t1 from the end of communication is started, and the process proceeds to re-notification processing step S09.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing of the re-notification operation in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 3, in step S11, it is detected whether caller identification information has been received. This is determined by whether the identification information of the caller is stored in the identification information storage unit 11. If the identification information is stored, the process proceeds to step S12 (in the case of YES at S11). When the identification information is not stored, that is, when the caller communicates with the non-notification setting, the re-notification process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state.

  In step S <b> 12, it is determined whether the received identification information matches the identification information designated in the designated identification information storage unit 12. If they match, the process proceeds to step S13 (YES in S12). If they do not match, the re-notification process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state. Here, since the identification number of the caller is the telephone number A and the telephone number A is stored in the designated identification information storage unit 12, the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S13 and step S14, the elapse of a predetermined time until re-notification is counted. First, in step S13, the key input unit 3 detects an instruction to output missed call identification information. When the instruction to output the identification information of the missed call is not detected (NO in S13), the process proceeds to step S14. The identification information output instruction is an operation in which the user outputs the stored identification information regardless of the presence or absence of notification or re-notification.

  In step S14, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed. The predetermined time is a re-notification interval T1 stored in the designated identification information storage unit 12 in advance. In step S08 in FIG. 2, the elapsed time t1 from the end of communication by the other party is counted. When the elapsed time t1 exceeds the re-notification interval T1, it can be determined that the time for re-notification has elapsed. Steps S13 and S14 are repeated, and if t1> T1, the process proceeds to step S15. If an identification information output instruction is detected by the key input unit 3 in step S13, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S16, identification information is output, and the operation returns to a standby state after the operation is completed.

  Here, the output of the identification information includes an output to the communication circuit unit 2, an output to the audio processing unit 5, and an output to the display unit 8. The output to the communication circuit unit 2 is to make a call to the telephone number stored in the identification information storage unit 11. The output to the voice processing unit 5 is to output the telephone number stored in the identification information storage unit 11 as a voice from the speaker 6 via the voice processing unit. The output to the display unit 8 is to display the telephone number stored in the identification information storage unit 11. Further, the output to the voice processing unit 5 may include the output of a message recorded in the answering machine mode.

  In step S15, step S17, and step S18, re-notification is performed by the designated operation. The re-notification follows a re-notification interval, a re-notification operation, a re-notification time, and an end condition stored in the designated identification information storage unit 12 in association with the designated identification information.

  In step S15, the re-notification operation “notification operation 1” designated for the telephone number A is started, and the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S17, the presence / absence of an identification information output instruction is detected. When the identification information output instruction is detected, the process proceeds to step S16, where the identification information is output and returns to the standby state after the operation is completed. If not detected, the process proceeds to step S18.

  In step S18, it is determined whether the re-notification should be stopped. Here, since the re-notification time is “15 seconds”, if the re-notification time exceeds 15 seconds (YES in S18), the process proceeds to step S19. If it is less than 15 seconds, the process returns to step S17 to repeat the process.

  In step S19, the re-notification operation is temporarily stopped, and the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S20, it is checked whether or not the end condition is met. If the end condition is met, the process returns to the standby state. If not matched, the process proceeds to step S21. Here, since the end condition is “3rd notification”, the first re-notification and the second re-notification do not match the end condition, and the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S21, the elapsed time t1 is reset to measure the time for the next re-notification, and the process returns to step S13.

  When the processes from step S13 to step S20 are repeated and re-notified three times, the end condition is met (in the case of YES at S20), the re-notification process is ended and the initial state is returned.

  When there are a plurality of missed calls, re-notification is performed with reference to the first missed call, or re-notification is performed with reference to the last missed call, or corresponding re-notification according to designated identification information. The re-notification process may be selectable, such as individually.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since a notification is made again after a predetermined time has elapsed since the end of communication with the other party, even if the user cannot make a call at the time of the initial notification, the user has received a missed call later. I can know. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user from being left for a long time without noticing the missed call.

  In addition, even when switched to the answering machine mode, it will be notified again after a predetermined time has elapsed, so it is possible to prevent being left unattended for a long time without noticing the message recorded in the answering machine mode. It becomes.

  Further, since the user can be set to re-notify only an incoming call from a designated partner, the user is not bothered by unnecessary re-notification.

  Further, since any one of a plurality of types of notification operations is stored in association with the identification information, and the re-notification means re-notifies with the notification operation stored in association with the designated identification information, the user is notified again when the user is re-notified. You can know if there was an incoming call.

  In addition, by specifying the time or number of re-notifications, the re-notification will not occur forever.

The reception data storage unit further stores the data reception time in association with the reception data. In addition, the storage unit 10 stores a notification operation and a notification time used as a standard. The identification information storage unit 11 stores a mail address as identification information. Moreover, the designation | designated identification information memory | storage part 12 memorize | stores a mail address as designation | designated identification information of re-notification | reporting object.

  The cellular phone 100 </ b> A receives a signal from the base station by the antenna 1 and processes it by the control unit 13 via the communication circuit unit 2. When the control unit 13 detects a data transmission signal from the base station, it receives data. When the control unit 13 finishes storing the received data in the received data storage unit 15, the control unit 13 notifies the user that the data has been received.

  When the user detects an operation of the reception data output key of the key input unit 3, that is, a reception data output instruction, during the notification operation, the control unit 13 stops the notification operation and outputs reception data. Here, the received data output instruction is an operation in which the user outputs the stored identification information regardless of the presence or absence of notification or re-notification.

  When a predetermined time elapses without receiving the reception data output instruction, the control unit 13 stops the notification operation and displays on the display unit 8 that data has been received. As a data reception display method, characters or pictograms are displayed on the display unit 8. In addition to this, there is a method of blinking the display unit 8 or the LED 14.

  Further, after the storage of received data is completed, a re-notification operation is performed when the time specified by the re-notification interval elapses without receiving a reception data output instruction. In addition, it will be in a standby state after the end of re-notification.

  Next, the notification operation and re-notification operation processing in mobile phone 100A in the present embodiment will be described. Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the mail address of the data sender is the mail address A, and the mail address A is specified and stored in the designated identification information storage unit 12 by the user. In association with the mail address A, the re-notification operation “notification operation 3”, the re-notification time “15 seconds”, the re-notification interval “every 5 minutes”, and the end condition “3 times notification” are designated identification information. It is assumed that it is stored in the storage unit 12. Also, it is assumed that “notification operation 2”, “notification operation 3”, a notification operation “notification operation 2” used as a standard, and a notification time “10 seconds” are stored in the storage unit 10.

  In the notification operation 2, the operation pattern of the display unit 8 is “a pattern that does not display an e-mail address”, and the operation pattern of the vibration unit 9 is defined as “vibration time 2 per predetermined time of the vibrator and non-vibration time 2”. “Vibration pattern 2”, the operation pattern of the speaker 6 is “no sound”, and the operation pattern of the LED 14 is “a light emission pattern 2 defined by a light emission time 2 and a non-light emission time 2 per predetermined time”.

  In the notification operation 3, the operation pattern of the display unit 8 is set as “a pattern for displaying an e-mail address”, and the operation pattern of the vibration unit 9 is defined as “vibration time 3 per predetermined time of the vibrator and non-vibration time 3. Vibration pattern 3 ”, the operation pattern of the speaker 6 is“ sound pattern 3 ”, and the operation pattern of the LED 14 is“ light emission pattern 3 defined by light emission time 3 and non-light emission time 3 per predetermined time ”. .

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing in the control unit 13 regarding the notification operation in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 5, in step S31, data reception is detected. If data reception is detected, the process proceeds to step S32. If not detected, a standby state is entered.

  In step S32, the received data and the data reception time are associated with each other and stored in the reception data storage unit 15. When the storage is completed, the process proceeds to step S33.

  In step S33, counting of elapsed time t2 from completion of reception data storage is started, and the process proceeds to step S34.

  In step S34, the notification operation is started. Here, the notification operation 2 is used for notification.

  In steps S35 and S36, the reception data output instruction being notified is detected. First, when a reception data output instruction is not detected in step S35 (NO in S35), the process proceeds to step S36.

  In step S36, stop of notification is detected. The notification stop is determined based on the notification time set in the storage unit 10 in advance. Here, since the notification time is “10 seconds”, if it exceeds 10 seconds (YES in S36), it is determined that the notification is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S38. If it is 10 seconds or less (NO in S36), the process returns to step S35 and the process is repeated.

  If a received data output instruction is detected in step S35, the process proceeds to step S37. In step S37, the notification operation is stopped and the received data is output. Here, the output of the reception data includes an output to the sound processing unit 5 and an output to the display unit 8. The output to the voice processing unit 5 is to output the contents of the mail stored in the received data storage unit 15 from the speaker 6 through voice synthesis via the voice processing unit. The output to the display unit 8 is to display the contents of the mail stored in the received data storage unit 15. After the received data is output, the process ends and returns to the standby state.

  In step S38, the notification operation is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to re-notification processing step S39.

  The stop of the notification operation here is to stop the vibrator of the vibration unit 9 and stop the light emission of the LED 14.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing of the re-notification operation in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 6, in step S <b> 41, identification information is extracted from the received data, and the sender identification information is stored in identification information storage unit 11. Here, a mail address A which is identification information of the sender is stored. Next, the process proceeds to step S42.

  In step S42, it is determined whether the identification information extracted from the received data matches the identification information designated in the designated identification information storage unit 12. If they match, the process proceeds to step S43 (YES in S42). If they do not match, the re-notification process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state. Here, since the mail address of the received data is the mail address A and the mail address A is stored in the designated identification information storage unit 12, the process proceeds to step S43.

  In step S43 and step S44, the elapse of a predetermined time until re-notification is counted. First, in step S43, the operation of the reception data output key of the key input unit 3 is detected. When the reception data output instruction is not detected (NO in S43), the process proceeds to step S44. In step S44, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed. The predetermined time is a re-notification interval T2 set in the designated identification information storage unit 12 in advance. In step S33 of FIG. 5, the elapsed time t2 from the completion of data storage is counted. When the elapsed time t2 exceeds the re-notification interval T2, it is determined that the time for re-notification has elapsed.

  Steps S43 and S44 are repeated, and if t2> T2, the process proceeds to step S45. If a received data output instruction is detected in step S43, the process proceeds to step S46. In step S46, the received data is output, and the operation returns to the standby state after the operation is completed.

  In step S45, step S47, and step S48, re-notification is performed. The re-notification follows a re-notification interval, a re-notification operation, each re-notification time, and an end condition stored in the designation identification information storage unit 12 in association with the designation identification information.

  In step S45, the re-notification operation “notification operation 3” associated with the mail address A is started. Next, the process proceeds to step S47.

  In step S47, the presence / absence of a reception data output instruction is detected. When the reception data output instruction is detected, the process proceeds to step S46, where the reception data is output, and the operation returns to the standby state after the operation is completed. If not detected, the process proceeds to S48.

  In step S48, it is confirmed whether the re-notification should be stopped. Here, since the re-notification time is “15 seconds”, if the re-notification time exceeds 15 seconds (YES in S48), the process proceeds to step S49. If it is less than 15 seconds, the process returns to step S47 to repeat the process.

  In step S49, the re-notification operation is temporarily stopped, and the process proceeds to step S50.

  In step S50, it is checked whether or not the end condition is met. If the end condition is met, the process returns to the standby state. If not matched, the process proceeds to step S51. Here, since the end condition is “3rd notification”, the first re-notification and the second re-notification do not match the end condition, and the process proceeds to step S51.

  In step S51, the elapsed time t2 is reset to measure the time for the next re-notification, and the process returns to step S43.

  If the processes from step S43 to step S50 are repeated and re-notified three times, the end condition is met (YES in S50), the re-notification process is terminated and the initial state is returned.

  In the present embodiment, re-notification is performed when the identification information designated in advance in the designated identification information storage unit 12 matches the identification information extracted from the received data. Instead, it may be re-notified when the identification information of the partner transmitted last by the user matches the identification information extracted from the received data. This is useful when using the mail function of the portable wireless terminal as a chat (sending and receiving a plurality of mails with the same partner in a short time).

  When there are a plurality of received data, re-notification is performed with reference to the first received data, re-notification is performed with reference to the last received data, or corresponding re-notification is performed according to designated identification information. The re-notification process may be selectable, such as individually.

  In the first embodiment, it is assumed that the incoming call is re-notified, and in the second embodiment, the incoming mail is re-notified. As another form, you may make it alert | report both with respect to the incoming call | mail and mail reception. In this case, if different re-notification operations are used for the telephone number and the mail address, the user can know whether there is an incoming call or data is received.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since a notification is made again after a predetermined time has elapsed since the end of data reception, even if the user did not notice the reception at the time of data reception, I can know. As a result, it is possible to prevent the data from being left for a long time without noticing the reception of the data.

  In addition, since the user can be set to perform re-notification only with respect to reception from the designated partner, there is no need for unnecessary re-notification.

  Further, since any one of a plurality of types of notification operations is stored in association with the identification information, and the re-notification means re-notifies with the notification operation stored in association with the designated identification information, when the user is re-notified, You can know the fun.

  In addition, by specifying the time or number of re-notifications, the re-notification will not occur forever.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
