Description

The present invention automatically changes settings such as call acceptance / rejection settings, ringtone volume, etc. according to the movement status of the holder in a mobile phone, PHS, PDA, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “mobile terminal”). It relates to mobile terminals.

  In the portable terminal, the owner is notified by sound or vibration that a call has arrived at the portable terminal or an e-mail has arrived.

  However, in recent years, manners related to the use of mobile devices have become a social problem with regard to the generation of ringtones and vibration of vibration functions in public places. For example, in public facilities such as trains and movie theaters, the power is turned off and the sound is emitted. Announcement is made not to sound. Therefore, it is often the case that the incoming call rejection setting is made so as not to disturb the surroundings, the incoming call volume is set to 0 (off), or the vibration function is turned off. However, in this operation, since the owner of the portable terminal has to make the setting by himself, there is a possibility that the setting may be forgotten.

  Therefore, it is preferable that the setting is automatically changed according to the movement status of the owner of the portable terminal. In the following Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a system for controlling a mobile phone in accordance with the movement status of the owner of the mobile terminal is disclosed.

JP 2003-298690 A JP 2001-203783 A JP 2000-174852 A

  In the invention disclosed in the above-mentioned patent document, even if it is possible to restrict the use of a mobile phone while walking, for example, a phone call or e-mail is received during a train, a movie theater, a meeting, etc. In addition, since it is impossible to determine a situation in which it is not desirable to operate the vibration function, it is not possible to change settings such as incoming / outgoing permission / rejection, incoming sound volume and vibration function. On the other hand, if you get off the train, get out of the movie theater, end the meeting, etc., that is, when you are walking, you should set the incoming call permission, and if there is no ring tone or vibration caused by the vibration function, the incoming call will be received Often there is no notice.

  In other words, it is preferable to automatically change the setting of incoming / outgoing call acceptance / rejection, incoming call volume and vibration function according to the owner's situation, but conventionally it is difficult to determine the owner's situation, Such automatic setting change could not be performed.

  Further, Patent Document 3 discloses an invention in which a ringtone is sounded after detecting an incoming call by a mobile phone, and then the ringtone is stopped when a user of the mobile phone gives a vibration of a predetermined level or more to the mobile phone. However, in the present invention, incoming calls, detection of vibration, determination of vibration intensity, and measurement of vibration frequency are performed as serial processing. In the configuration, the frequency is not measured. In other words, the detection of the vibration intensity is merely used as a “trigger” for measuring the vibration frequency. For this reason, it is difficult to make an accurate determination because the processing does not take vibration intensity (amplitude) into consideration.

  As a result of repeated consideration of the behavior of the owner of the mobile terminal, the inventor of the present application has many situations where the owner is not moving as a state in which the incoming call is rejected, and it is better not to set the ringtone and vibration function, Incoming call permission, setting ringtone and vibration function, it is better to know that there are many situations where the owner is moving.

In the determination of the movement status, the determination is made not only using the number of times of voltage detection but also using the magnitude of the voltage. The number of times the voltage is detected is the number of times the vibration is detected, and the magnitude of the voltage means the magnitude of the vibration. The magnitude of the voltage is proportional to the magnitude of the acceleration generated in the mobile terminal. In other words, by making a determination using the magnitude of the voltage, it is possible to determine the movement status in consideration of the degree of vibration generated in the portable terminal, that is, the owner who owns the portable terminal. Processing can be performed. In this specification, “movement situation” means whether the mobile terminal (or its owner) is in a “stop state”, is in a walking state, or is in a running state (collectively these Information indicating whether it is in the “movement state”). In this specification, “moving state” includes both walking and running, but if the state indicates that “the owner is moving”, the “moving state” is The determination may be performed by subdividing.

Can be determined.

  In the invention of claim 4, the movement status determination unit calculates an average voltage, which is an average value of the magnitude of the voltage within the predetermined time, based on information recorded in the recording unit, and the voltage detection count and the Using the average voltage, determine the movement status of the holder of the mobile terminal, determine the point according to the number of times of voltage detection, determine the point according to the average voltage, and calculate each of those points To calculate the total points, and pass the movement status and the total points to the incoming call control unit, the incoming call control unit, based on the determined movement status and the total points, the incoming call permission in the mobile terminal This is a mobile terminal that performs any one or more of: setting of / rejection, setting of whether or not a ring tone should sound, setting of ring volume, and setting of vibration function.

This is a mobile terminal that performs at least one of setting, setting whether or not a ring tone should sound, setting of ring volume, and setting of a vibration function.

  When performing the determination process using the number of times of voltage detection and the voltage magnitude, in addition to using the average voltage, the determination process is performed by calculating the area formed by the voltage magnitude as in the present invention. It can also be configured as follows. For example, assuming that the voltage is taken in the vertical direction (y-axis) and time is taken in the horizontal direction (x-axis), the moving state is severe when the area of the shape constituted by the magnitude of the voltage is large. This is because it is considered as a state (for example, a traveling state).

It is a mobile terminal that performs any one or more of setting, ringing volume setting, and vibration function setting.

  When the area is calculated and the movement state is determined in the same manner as described above, the present invention can also be configured.

  In the invention of claim 10, the movement status determination unit calculates an area of an arbitrary shape with respect to a predetermined time, which is configured by a unit time and a voltage level in the predetermined time, and the voltage detection count and the area To determine the movement status of the owner of the mobile terminal, determine the point according to the number of times of voltage detection, determine the point according to the area, and calculate the points by summing them Calculate the point, the incoming call control unit, based on the determined movement situation and the total points, setting of the incoming call permit / reject in the mobile terminal, whether or not the ring tone should sound, setting of the incoming volume, It is a portable terminal that performs at least one of vibration function settings.

  As described above, when the determination process is performed using the area, the process may be performed using points. By performing processing using points as described above, the volume level can be adjusted and set when setting the ring volume.

  In the invention of claim 11, the movement status determination unit includes a sum of absolute values of differences between the detected voltage magnitude and the voltage magnitude detected a predetermined number of times before the information recorded in the recording section.

It can also be constructed by calculating the sum of absolute values of. If the sum of the absolute values of the voltage differences is large, the owner of the mobile terminal seems to be moving irregularly. For example, if you are talking while you are moving or if you are focused on something, there will be many sudden actions. In such a case, the movement becomes irregular, but the movement status can be determined by making such a determination.

  In the invention of claim 12, the movement status determination unit includes a sum of absolute values of differences between the magnitude of the detected voltage and the magnitude of the voltage detected a predetermined number of times out of the information recorded in the recording unit.

And a portable terminal that passes the determined movement status to the incoming call control unit.

  Although the determination of the movement situation using the number of times of voltage detection and the magnitude of the voltage can be performed as described above, if it is determined that the movement situation has changed by only one determination, for example, the hand is a portable terminal The movement situation may change even if it hits the camera or moves the position where the bag containing the portable terminal is placed. Therefore, the change of the movement situation is recorded over time, and only when the movement situation is the same continuously for a predetermined number of times, the fact that the change of the movement situation is passed to the incoming call control unit is configured. Thus, it is possible to prevent inadvertent changes in incoming / outgoing call acceptance / rejection settings, ringtone and incoming sound volume settings, and the like.

According to the present invention, when it is determined that the owner of the mobile terminal is stationary, the mobile terminal is changed to a setting for rejecting incoming calls, or automatically changed to a setting that does not perform a ring tone or vibration function. When it is determined that the owner is moving, the mobile terminal can be changed to an incoming call permission setting or automatically changed to a setting for performing a ringtone or a vibration function. As a result, the owner of the portable terminal is less likely to forget the setting for turning off the ringtone volume and vibration function. In addition, by setting the number of vibrations, the average amplitude, and a value calculated based on the amplitude as points, it is possible to make settings in consideration of the level of the incoming call volume and the vibration function. As a result, it is possible to accurately set the incoming / outgoing permission / rejection setting according to the movement situation of the owner, the ring tone, the vibration function, and the like.

  An example of the system configuration of the portable terminal 1 of the present invention is shown in FIG. The mobile terminal 1 of the present invention includes an acceleration sensor 2 that detects vibrations of the owner of the mobile terminal 1. As the acceleration sensor 2 provided in the portable terminal 1, there are various types such as a piezoelectric type, a semiconductor piezoresistive type, and a capacitance type, and various types of acceleration sensors 2 can be used. In these acceleration sensors 2, a voltage is generated by detecting vibration, and the magnitude of the vibration generated in the mobile terminal 1 can be determined by measuring the magnitude of the voltage. In the present specification, a case is described in which processing is performed by using the number of times that the acceleration sensor 2 detects a voltage greater than or equal to a predetermined value and the magnitude of the voltage. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the acceleration sensor 2 is not limited thereto. The processing can also be performed by using various output values output by.

  In order to perform processing using the output value output from the acceleration sensor 2, for example, the number of times that a voltage greater than or equal to a predetermined value is detected in unit time and the total or average value of the voltage magnitudes are used. It is possible to use the time when a voltage having a magnitude greater than or equal to a predetermined value is detected and the magnitude of the voltage. Information such as the number of times the voltage detected by the acceleration sensor 2 is detected, the magnitude of the voltage, and the time when the voltage is detected is recorded in a predetermined recording unit 3. The information recorded in the recording unit 3 is preferably deleted after a predetermined time. FIG. 3 shows an example of information recorded in the recording unit 3. FIG. 3 (a) schematically shows the time when a voltage having a magnitude greater than or equal to a predetermined value is detected and the magnitude of the voltage recorded, and FIG. The number of times that the voltage of the magnitude is detected and the case where the total value of the magnitude of the voltage is recorded are schematically shown. FIG. 4 schematically shows the recording state in FIG.

  In the following description, a case where vibration is recorded by the method of FIG. 3A is shown (that is, a time when a voltage greater than a predetermined value is detected and a voltage magnitude is recorded). Even when vibration is recorded by the method 3 (b) (that is, when the number of times a voltage equal to or higher than a predetermined value is detected in a unit time and the total value or average value of the voltages is recorded), the same applies. Implementation is possible.

  In this specification, the portable terminal 1 including the acceleration sensor 2 is described. However, the acceleration sensor 2 may be included in the portable terminal 1 as a part of other functions. For example, the acceleration sensor 2 that realizes the pedometer function in the portable terminal 1 having the pedometer function may be used in the present invention.

  The movement status determination unit 4 calculates the number of voltage detections in a predetermined time based on the detection time and the voltage level of a voltage greater than or equal to a predetermined value detected by the acceleration sensor 2, The point corresponding to the incoming call control of the portable terminal 1 is calculated using the magnitude of the voltage. For example, by extracting from the recording unit 3 the time at which the voltage was detected from a predetermined timing to a predetermined time before (for example, 10 seconds) and the magnitude of the voltage, the number of times of voltage detection and the average value of the voltage are calculated. To calculate points. FIG. 5A shows a conceptual diagram of the points given to the number of times of voltage detection and the average voltage, and FIG. 5B shows a schematic diagram of the concept of the determination process of the movement status determination unit 4.

  In FIG. 5, the number of times of voltage detection and the average voltage are converted into points, and by adding them, the incoming call permission / rejection setting and the incoming call volume setting are performed. In this case, the number of times of voltage detection is divided into four stages, “0 point” when the number of vibrations 10 seconds before the predetermined timing is “0-9”, “1 point”, “10-19” When it is “20-29”, it is “2 points”, and when it is “30 or more”, it is “3 points” (the left figure in FIG. 5A).

  Further, the average value of the voltage 10 seconds before the predetermined tapping time is divided into two stages, “0 points” if the average voltage is less than the predetermined reference value, and “0 points” if the average voltage is equal to or higher than the predetermined reference value. 1 point "(right figure in FIG. 5A).

  Then, using the number of times of voltage detection and the average voltage, the movement state determination unit 4 determines the movement state of the holder of the mobile terminal 1 (determines whether the state is “stop state” or “movement state”). Further, the total points are calculated by summing the points selected by the number of times of voltage detection and the points selected by the average voltage. Then, the determined movement status and total points are passed to the incoming call control unit 5. When the number of times of voltage detection is less than a predetermined number (in the case of FIG. 5, it is less than 10 times), the total points are not calculated, and the movement status is calculated using the number of times of voltage detection and the average voltage. Only the determination may be performed.

  For example, when the number of voltage detections is “18” and the average voltage is “less than the specified value”, “1 point” is selected as the number of voltage detections and “0 point” is selected as the average voltage, so the total point is “1 point”. Become. The movement status setting unit passes “1 point” and information of “movement status” as the movement status to the incoming call control unit 5.

  When the number of voltage detections is “17” and the average voltage is “specified value or more”, “1 point” is selected as the number of voltage detections and “1 point” is selected as the average voltage, so the total point is “2 points”. . The movement status setting unit passes “2 points” and “movement status” information as the movement status to the incoming call control unit 5.

  When the number of voltage detections is “25” and the average voltage is “less than the specified value”, “2 points” is selected as the number of voltage detections and “0 point” is selected as the average voltage, so the total point is “2 points”. Become. The movement status setting unit passes “2 points” and “movement status” information as the movement status to the incoming call control unit 5.

  When the number of voltage detections is “24” and the average voltage is “specified value or more”, “2 points” is selected as the number of voltage detections and “1 point” is selected as the average voltage, so the total point is “3 points”. Become. The movement status setting unit passes “3 points” and information on “movement status” as the movement status to the incoming call control unit 5.

  Furthermore, when the number of voltage detections is “38” and the average voltage is “less than the specified value”, “3 points” is selected as the number of voltage detections and “0 point” is selected as the average voltage, so the total point is “3 points”. Become. The movement status setting unit passes “3 points” and information on “movement status” as the movement status to the incoming call control unit 5.

  Furthermore, when the number of voltage detections is “37” and the average voltage is “specified value or more”, “3 points” is selected as the number of voltage detections and “1 point” is selected as the average voltage, so the total point is “4 points”. Become. The movement status setting unit passes “4 points” and information on “movement status” as the movement status to the incoming call control unit 5.

  When the number of times of voltage detection is “6” and the average voltage is “less than the specified value”, the information of “stop state” is transferred to the incoming call control unit 5 as the movement status without calculating the total points. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5B, the movement is performed only when the “stop state” determined by the movement state determination unit 4 can be determined as the “stop state” five times or more continuously, for example. As a situation, it may be configured to pass information on “stop state” to the incoming call control unit 5. That is, even if it is determined as “stop state” in a state where “the number of times of voltage detection is 0 to 9” and “average voltage is less than the specified value”, if it is determined up to the fourth time, “ You may comprise so that the information of a "stop state" may not be passed to the incoming call control part 5. FIG.

  If the number of times of voltage detection is “5” and the average voltage is “not less than the specified value”, the information of “stop state” is passed to the incoming call control unit 5 as the movement status without calculating the total points. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5B, the movement is performed only when the “stop state” determined by the movement state determination unit 4 can be determined as the “stop state” ten times or more continuously, for example. As a situation, it may be configured to pass information on “stop state” to the incoming call control unit 5. That is, even if it is determined as “stop state” due to a state where “the number of times of voltage detection is 0 to 9” and “average voltage is not less than a specified value”, if it is determined up to the ninth time, “ You may comprise so that the information of a "stop state" may not be passed to the incoming call control part 5. FIG.

  In addition, the continuous state determination frequency | count which determines a state continuously can be set arbitrarily and is good also as the same value.

  The incoming call control unit 5 sets the incoming call permission / rejection, the incoming call volume based on the information on the movement status of the owner determined by the movement status determination unit 4 (information on “stop state” and “movement state”) and the total points. The vibration function is set and the setting is stored. Note that the incoming call volume may be set to “volume 0” without setting the incoming / outgoing permission / rejection. As the setting of the ringing volume, a different volume setting is provided for each portable terminal 1, and it is preferable to perform the setting according to the setting. In this specification, the volume setting of the mobile terminal 1 will be described in the case of five levels of volume 0 (ringing tone OFF state), volume 1, volume 2, volume 3, and volume 4, but depending on the mobile terminal 1 It can be changed as appropriate. For example, when the total point received from the movement status setting unit is “0 point”, it is set as “volume 0”, “volume 1” when “1 point”, “volume 2”, “3 points” when “2 points” "Volume 3" is set for "", and "Volume 4" is set for "4 points or more". This is schematically shown in FIG.

  Although not shown in the figure, the portable terminal 1 of the present invention has functions that the ordinary portable terminal 1 has, such as a function for making a call, a function for sending and receiving electronic mail, and a function for using the Internet. Further, by detecting the incoming call, the reception of e-mail, etc., the portable terminal 1 notifies the holder at the volume based on the volume set in the incoming call control unit 5 stored in a predetermined storage area. (Such as ringing a ringtone).

  Next, an embodiment of the portable terminal 1 of the present invention will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  Since the mobile terminal 1 includes the acceleration sensor 2, the acceleration sensor 2 detects the vibration when the owner of the mobile terminal 1 moves (vibration is generated) (S100). This vibration can be detected by generating a voltage in the acceleration sensor 2. Then, the time and the magnitude of the voltage at which a voltage greater than or equal to a predetermined value is detected are recorded in the recording unit 3 as shown in FIG. As described above, the recording unit 3 performs recording as shown in FIG. 3A, or the number of times that a voltage greater than or equal to a predetermined value is detected every unit time (for example, every second), and the total of the voltages. The value may be recorded (FIG. 3B).

  In this way, each time vibration is detected, the time when the voltage is detected and the information on the magnitude of the voltage are recorded in the recording unit 3. The number of times of detection of the voltage from that time to a predetermined time before and the magnitude of the detected voltage are extracted from the recording unit 3 (at every predetermined time for detecting the reception of e-mail and every time vibration is detected) (see FIG. S110). The predetermined time is 10 seconds, and the time when the movement status determination unit 4 determines the movement status is “10: 31: 19: 92”, so “10: 31: 09: 92” to “10: 31: 19: 92” The number of voltage detections up to and the magnitude of the voltage are extracted.

  The number of voltage detections can be determined by counting recorded information such as the number of recorded times. In the case of FIG. 3A, the voltage detection count can be determined to be “19”. Further, when the average value of the magnitude of the voltage is calculated, it becomes “0.374 volts”. Accordingly, “1 point” is selected for the number of times of voltage detection, and “0 point” is selected for the average voltage if “0.374 volts” is “less than the specified value”. In addition, the movement status determination unit 4 determines that it is “movement status” as information on the movement status (S120).

  The movement status determination unit 4 adds the points selected based on the number of times of voltage detection and the points selected based on the average voltage to calculate the total points. In the above case, the movement status determination unit 4 calculates “1 point” as the total point, and passes the information of “1 point” and “movement state” to the incoming call control unit 5.

  The incoming call control unit 5 receives the information of “1 point” and “movement state” from the movement status determination unit 4 as the total points, and determines whether to change the setting of incoming call permission / rejection (S130). If the incoming call rejection setting is set, the incoming call permission setting is changed (if the incoming call permission setting is originally set, the change is not necessary) (S140). Further, the current volume setting in the portable terminal 1 is compared. In this case, since the total point “1 point” corresponds to “volume 1”, it is determined whether the volume setting of the mobile terminal 1 is already “volume 1” (S130) and set as “volume 1”. If not, the setting is changed to “volume 1” as the ring volume of the mobile terminal 1 (S140). On the other hand, if it is already set as “Volume 1”, it is not necessary to change the incoming call volume.

  In S110, for example, when the number of times of voltage detection is “5” and the average voltage is less than the specified value, the movement state determination unit 4 does not calculate the total points (calculates the total points). The movement status is determined (S120). Then, from the correspondence relationship such as FIG. 5B, it can be determined that the movement state is “stop state”. Then, the state that the state is “stopped” and the average voltage is “below the specified value” is stored in a predetermined storage device, and the storage device is referred to whether the state continues five times. Judge by. If it does not continue 5 times, that is, if it is 4 times or less, it waits for the next determination to be made. If it is determined that it has continued five times in succession, the movement status determination unit 4 passes “stop state” information to the incoming call control unit 5. Receiving this information, the incoming call control unit 5 determines whether to change the incoming / outgoing permission / rejection setting (S130). If the incoming call permission is set, the setting is changed to the incoming call rejection setting (if the incoming call rejection setting is originally set, the change is not necessary) (S140).

  In S110, for example, when the number of times of voltage detection is “8” and the average voltage is equal to or higher than a specified value, the movement status determination unit 4 does not calculate the total points (calculates the total points). The movement status is determined (S120). Then, from the correspondence relationship such as FIG. 5B, it can be determined that the movement state is “stop state”. Then, the state that the state is “stopped” and the average voltage is “not less than a specified value” is stored in a predetermined storage device, and the storage device is referred to whether the state continues for ten times. Judge by. If it does not continue 10 times continuously, that is, if it is 9 times or less, it waits for the next determination to be made as it is. If it is determined that it has continued 10 times in succession, the movement status determination unit 4 passes “stop state” information to the incoming call control unit 5. Receiving this information, the incoming call control unit 5 determines whether to change the incoming / outgoing permission / rejection setting (S130). If the incoming call permission is set, the setting is changed to the incoming call rejection setting (if the incoming call rejection setting is originally set, the change is not necessary) (S140).

  Furthermore, in S110, for example, it is assumed that the number of times of voltage detection is “25” and the average voltage is “not less than a specified value”. Then, it can be determined as “movement state” as the determination of the movement state (S120). Further, “2 points” is given as a point based on the number of times of voltage detection. Further, “1 point” is given as a point by the average voltage. Therefore, the total point becomes “3 points”, and the movement status determination unit 4 passes the information of “3 points” and “movement state” to the incoming call control unit 5.

  Receiving this, the incoming call control unit 5 determines whether to change the incoming / outgoing permission / rejection setting (S130). If the incoming call rejection setting is set, the incoming call permission setting is changed (if the incoming call permission setting is originally set, the change is not necessary) (S140). Further, the current volume setting in the portable terminal 1 is compared. In this case, since the total point “3 points” corresponds to “volume 3”, it is determined whether the volume setting of the mobile terminal 1 is already “volume 3” (S130) and set as “volume 3”. If not, the setting is changed to “volume 3” as the ring volume of the mobile terminal 1 (S140). On the other hand, if it is already set as “volume 3”, it is not necessary to change the ring volume.

  By detecting the vibration as described above, it is possible to set whether to accept / reject an incoming call and change the volume of the incoming call based on the number of detected voltages and the average voltage before a predetermined time from a predetermined timing. I can do it. That is, in a movie theater or a train, the owner of the mobile terminal 1 often does not move and is in a stopped state, and thus does not detect vibration. Therefore, the incoming call can be automatically rejected, or the incoming call volume can be set to “volume 0”. On the other hand, since vibrations are detected when the owner of the portable terminal 1 is walking or running, it can be set to allow incoming calls and to make a sound. Further, by processing the number of times of voltage detection and the average voltage as points, it is possible to change the volume level as well as to set the sound to sound.

  In this specification, the ring volume setting is targeted, but the vibration function may be targeted. That is, the vibration function can be set to “OFF” when the volume is set to “0”, and the vibration function can be set to “ON” when the volume is “1” or higher. In the present embodiment, the average voltage is calculated when the movement state determination unit 4 performs processing using the magnitude of the voltage, but deviation or variance may be used in addition to the average. In addition to the arithmetic average, the average includes other averages such as a geometric average, a harmonic average, and a weighted average.

  In the processing of the movement status determination unit 4 of the portable terminal 1, in the above-described embodiment, the voltage detection time and the voltage magnitude recorded in the recording unit 3 are extracted, and the processing is performed using the voltage detection count and the average voltage. Although it went, the movement condition of the holder of the portable terminal 1 can also be determined by other methods.

  First, as a first method of another processing method, the movement status determination unit 4 detects vibration at a predetermined timing (for example, detecting an incoming call or an e-mail at the mobile terminal 1 at a predetermined time). Each time), the voltage detection time and voltage magnitude a predetermined time before (for example, 10 seconds) from that point are extracted from the recording unit 3, and the number of times of voltage detection and the voltage magnitude are set to a predetermined reference value. Judgment is made based on the number of times exceeded. FIG. 7 schematically shows a conceptual diagram of determination in the case of the present embodiment.

  For example, a case where the criterion of determination is as shown in FIG. 7 will be described. The movement status determination unit 4 extracts the voltage detection time and the voltage magnitude for 10 seconds from the recording unit 3. Then, in the vibration for 10 seconds, the number of times the voltage is detected and the number of times when the magnitude of the voltage becomes a reference value (which is predetermined) or more (or exceeds the reference value) are counted. Then, using the number of times the voltage is detected and the number of times the magnitude of the voltage is greater than or equal to the reference value, the movement status (“movement state”, “stop state”) of the holder of the mobile terminal 1 is determined (S120). . Then, the determined movement status information, the number of times of voltage detection, and the number of times that the magnitude of the voltage has exceeded the reference value are passed to the incoming call control unit 5.

  Based on the information received from the movement status determination unit 4, the incoming call control unit 5 determines whether to set incoming call permission / rejection or change the incoming call volume (S130). In other words, when the current portable terminal 1 is set to allow incoming calls, if it receives “stopped state” information, it is changed to setting for rejecting incoming calls (S140). If the current mobile terminal 1 is set to reject incoming calls and receives “movement state” information, the mobile terminal 1 changes the setting to allow incoming calls (S140).

  Further, in the case of setting the incoming call permission, the incoming call volume is determined from the correspondence relationship shown in FIG. 7 using the number of times the voltage is detected and the number of times that the magnitude of the voltage is equal to or greater than the reference value. If the current incoming volume of the mobile terminal 1 is different from the determined incoming volume, for example, if the incoming volume of the current mobile terminal 1 is “Volume 1” and the determined incoming volume is “Volume 3”. The setting is changed to “Volume 3” which is the determined ring volume (S140). Note that if the current ring volume of the mobile terminal 1 is the same as the determined ring volume, there is no need to change the volume setting.

  About the above-mentioned process, you may process using a point, as shown in FIG. FIG. 8A schematically shows the number of times of voltage detection and points, and FIG. 8B schematically shows the number of times and points when the magnitude of the voltage exceeds the reference value. The case where the total points and the incoming call volume are the same as those shown in FIG. 6 will be described.

  The movement status determination unit 4 detects the incoming call or the reception of the e-mail at the portable terminal 1 at every predetermined time and every time the vibration is detected at the predetermined time (for example, at a predetermined time before the time) For example, the detection time of the voltage and the magnitude of the voltage for 10 seconds are extracted from the recording unit 3, and the determination is performed based on the number of times the voltage is detected and the number of times the magnitude of the voltage exceeds a predetermined reference value.

  For example, when the determination criterion is as shown in FIG. 7, the movement status determination unit 4 extracts the voltage detection time and the voltage magnitude for 10 seconds from the recording unit 3. Then, in the vibration for 10 seconds, the number of times the voltage is detected and the number of times when the magnitude of the voltage becomes a reference value (which is predetermined) or more (or exceeds the reference value) are counted. Then, using the number of times the voltage is detected and the number of times the magnitude of the voltage is greater than or equal to the reference value, the movement status (“movement state”, “stop state”) of the holder of the mobile terminal 1 is determined (S120). . In addition, a point based on the number of times of voltage detection and a point based on the number of times the magnitude of the voltage is equal to or greater than the reference value are determined, and a total point that is the sum of them is calculated. The determined movement status information and total point information are then passed to the incoming call control unit 5.

  Based on the information received from the movement status determination unit 4, the incoming call control unit 5 determines whether to set incoming call permission / rejection or change the incoming call volume (S130). In other words, when the current portable terminal 1 is set to allow incoming calls, if it receives “stopped state” information, it is changed to setting for rejecting incoming calls (S140). If the current mobile terminal 1 is set to reject incoming calls and receives “movement state” information, the mobile terminal 1 changes the setting to allow incoming calls (S140).

  Further, in the case of setting the incoming call permission, the incoming call volume is further determined based on the total point information. If the current incoming volume of the mobile terminal 1 is different from the determined incoming volume, for example, if the incoming volume of the current mobile terminal 1 is “Volume 1” and the determined incoming volume is “Volume 3”. The setting is changed to “Volume 3” which is the determined ring volume (S140). Note that if the current ring volume of the mobile terminal 1 is the same as the determined ring volume, there is no need to change the volume setting.

  The second method of other processing in the movement status determination unit 4 performs determination processing based on the relationship between the magnitude of voltage and time. That is, at a time when the magnitude of the voltage becomes less than a predetermined value in a predetermined time (the voltage magnitude is less than the predetermined value is a predetermined threshold that is recorded in the recording unit 3 among the voltages detected by the acceleration sensor 3. In other words, the voltage detected by the acceleration sensor 3 is the time when the voltage not recorded in the recording unit 3 is used as the x-axis, and is constituted by the interval and amplitude at that time. This is a method of determining the movement status by calculating the area of an arbitrary shape (including a polygon of a triangle or more). FIG. 9 schematically shows the conceptual diagram, and FIG. 10 shows a schematic diagram of the determination.

The movement status determination unit 4 detects the incoming call or the reception of the e-mail at the portable terminal 1 at every predetermined time and every time the vibration is detected at the predetermined time (for example, at a predetermined time before the time) For example, the voltage detection time and the voltage magnitude for 10 seconds are extracted from the recording unit 3. At this time, the time when the magnitude of the voltage becomes less than a predetermined value is determined. When the magnitude is less than the predetermined value of the voltage in FIG. 9 is a t ₈ from t _1. Note that when the voltage magnitude is less than the predetermined value, when the voltage magnitude is always recorded in the recording unit 3, the time when the voltage magnitude is less than the predetermined value can be used. However, when the voltage is detected and the magnitude of the voltage is only recorded in the recording unit 3, a predetermined minute time before and after the voltage is detected is determined to be less than the predetermined value. It may be used as a time point.

And the movement condition determination part 4 calculates the magnitude | size of the voltage detected within the predetermined time as an area. In figure 9, since t ₈ from t ₁ is the magnitude of the voltage is a time of less than a predetermined value, calculates the area of the shape formed by the size of their spacing and between the voltage. This area is calculated as a triangular area in FIG. In addition, when the magnitude of the voltage is less than a predetermined value, the vibration is generated once each. Therefore,
(Equation 1)
Area S _i = interval (t _i −t _i−1 ) × voltage magnitude h _i ÷ 2
By calculating the area S _i per interval and summing them for a predetermined time, the magnitude of the voltage can be evaluated and the movement status of the holder of the portable terminal 1 can be determined.

  Although the area of the triangle is calculated in FIG. 9, it may be a rectangle or an arbitrary polygon. This is often the case when the voltage is not continuously less than a predetermined value and the voltage is continuously detected. In this way, calculating the area of an arbitrary shape (including a polygon greater than or equal to a triangle) constituted by the interval and the voltage magnitude when the voltage magnitude becomes less than the predetermined value for a predetermined time. It is also possible to determine the movement status.

In addition, when a plurality of voltages are detected while the magnitude of the voltage is less than a predetermined value at a predetermined time, the shape whose area is to be obtained may be a polygon as shown in FIG. is there. In this case, even if the time when the magnitude of the voltage becomes less than the predetermined value is used for the x-axis, the area of an arbitrary shape constituted by the interval and the magnitude of the voltage is calculated. good. FIG. 11 schematically shows a conceptual diagram thereof. In the case shown in FIG. 11, the time points of t ₀ , t ₁ , t ₂ , t ₃ , t ₄ , and t ₅ indicate the time points when the magnitude of the voltage becomes 0, and (t ₀ , h ₁ , t ₁ ), a shape constituted by (t ₁ , h ₃ , h ₄ , h ₅ , h ₆ , h ₇ , t ₂ ), (t ₂ , h ₉ , h ₁₀ , h ₁₁ , h ₁₂ , h ₁₃ , h ₁₄ , h ₁₅ , h ₁₆ , h ₁₇ , t ₃ ), a shape constituted by (t ₃ , h ₁₉ , h ₂₀ , h ₂₁ , t ₄ ), (t ₄ , h ₂₃ , t ₅ ) may be obtained.

  For example, the movement status determination unit 4 extracts the voltage detection times for 10 seconds and the magnitudes of the voltages from the recording unit 3. Then, the number of times of voltage detection in a predetermined time is determined. Using the number of times of voltage detection and the area calculated for the magnitude of the voltage (the area calculated by Equation 1), the movement status (“movement state”, “stop state”) of the owner of the mobile terminal 1 is determined. (S120). Then, the determined movement status information, voltage detection count and area are passed to the incoming call control unit 5.

  Based on the information received from the movement status determination unit 4, the incoming call control unit 5 determines whether to set incoming call permission / rejection or change the incoming call volume (S130). In other words, when the current portable terminal 1 is set to allow incoming calls, if it receives “stopped state” information, it is changed to setting for rejecting incoming calls (S140). If the current mobile terminal 1 is set to reject incoming calls and receives “movement state” information, the mobile terminal 1 changes the setting to allow incoming calls (S140).

  In the case of setting the incoming call permission, the incoming call volume is further determined from the correspondence shown in FIG. 10 using the number of times of voltage detection and the area. If the current incoming volume of the mobile terminal 1 is different from the determined incoming volume, for example, if the incoming volume of the current mobile terminal 1 is “Volume 1” and the determined incoming volume is “Volume 3”. The setting is changed to “Volume 3” which is the determined ring volume (S140). Note that if the current ring volume of the mobile terminal 1 is the same as the determined ring volume, there is no need to change the volume setting.

  About the process which determines a movement condition using the above-mentioned area, as shown in FIG. 12, you may process using a point.

  FIG. 12A schematically shows the number of detected voltages and points, and FIG. 12B schematically shows the area and points.

  For example, the movement status determination unit 4 extracts the voltage detection times for 10 seconds and the magnitudes of the voltages from the recording unit 3. Then, the number of times of voltage detection in a predetermined time is determined. Using the number of times of voltage detection and the area calculated for the magnitude of the voltage (the area calculated by Equation 1), the movement status (“movement state”, “stop state”) of the owner of the mobile terminal 1 is determined. (S120). Further, a point based on the number of times of voltage detection and a point based on whether or not the area due to the magnitude of the voltage is greater than or equal to a reference value are determined, and a total point that is the sum of them is calculated. The determined movement status information and total point information are then passed to the incoming call control unit 5.

  Based on the information received from the movement status determination unit 4, the incoming call control unit 5 determines whether to set incoming call permission / rejection or change the incoming call volume (S130). In other words, when the current portable terminal 1 is set to allow incoming calls, if it receives “stopped state” information, it is changed to setting for rejecting incoming calls (S140). If the current mobile terminal 1 is set to reject incoming calls and receives “movement state” information, the mobile terminal 1 changes the setting to allow incoming calls (S140).

  Further, in the case of setting the incoming call permission, the incoming call volume is further determined based on the total point information. If the current incoming volume of the mobile terminal 1 is different from the determined incoming volume, for example, if the incoming volume of the current mobile terminal 1 is “Volume 1” and the determined incoming volume is “Volume 3”. The setting is changed to “Volume 3” which is the determined ring volume (S140). Note that if the current ring volume of the mobile terminal 1 is the same as the determined ring volume, there is no need to change the volume setting.

  In the above description, the area of the shape constituted by the interval when the voltage magnitude becomes less than the predetermined value and the voltage magnitude is calculated. However, the arbitrary area constituted by the unit time and the amplitude for the predetermined time is calculated. You may comprise so that a movement condition may be determined by calculating the area of a shape (a polygon more than a triangle is included). FIG. 13 schematically shows a conceptual diagram in that case.

In this case, the movement status determination unit 4 starts from that time, for example, at a predetermined timing (for example, every time a vibration is detected at a predetermined time when the mobile terminal 1 detects an incoming call or reception of an e-mail). The voltage detection time and the voltage magnitude a predetermined time before (for example, 10 seconds) are extracted from the recording unit 3. At this time, the predetermined time is a predetermined unit time (for example, every 0.1 seconds, every 0.5 seconds, every second, or any time such as a minute time, where the predetermined time may be set as a unit time). Divided. And the movement condition determination part 4 calculates the magnitude | size in the voltage detected within the unit time as an area. For example, in the case of FIG. 13, the predetermined time is divided into unit times of p ₁ to p ₈ , and vibration is generated once for each unit time.

Therefore, the area per unit time is calculated. In FIG. 13, this area is calculated as a triangular area. Therefore,
(Equation 2)
Area S _i = unit time p _i × voltage h _i ÷ 2
By calculating the area S _i per unit time p _i, they predetermined time, by total, it is possible to determine the moving state of the holder of the portable terminal 1. In addition, the processing can be performed in correspondence with the area and the point as described above.

  Although the area of the triangle is calculated in FIG. 13, a rectangle or an arbitrary polygon may be used. In particular, when the unit time is set as a long time such as 1 second, a plurality of voltages can be detected within the unit time. Then, since this area becomes a polygon, the area in the unit time becomes a polygon. In this way, it is also possible to determine the movement status by calculating the area of an arbitrary shape (including a polygon that is equal to or greater than a triangle) that is configured by unit time and voltage magnitude for a predetermined time.

  A third method of other processing in the movement status determination unit 4 is that the voltage level in the voltage detection within a predetermined time is different from the previous voltage level (not only the previous voltage level). , Which can be arbitrarily set), and the movement status is determined by calculating the sum of those values. This is because the magnitude of the voltage detected by the acceleration sensor 2 is proportional to the magnitude of the acceleration, and therefore, the larger the sum of the voltage magnitude differences, the greater the irregular movement. If you are moving irregularly, you may be talking while you are moving, or you are concentrating on something. Setting is easier to notice. FIG. 14 schematically shows the conceptual diagram, and FIG. 15 schematically shows the determination.

  For example, a case where the criterion of determination is as shown in FIG. 15 will be described. The movement status determination unit 4 extracts the voltage detection time and the voltage magnitude for 10 seconds from the recording unit 3. Then, in the vibration for 10 seconds, the absolute value of the difference between the number of times of voltage detection and the voltage magnitude of a predetermined number before is calculated, and the sum is calculated. Then, using the number of detected voltages and the sum of absolute values of the magnitudes of the voltages, the movement status (“moving state”, “stopped state”) of the holder of the mobile terminal 1 is determined (S120). Then, the information on the determined movement status and the total number of voltage detection times and the absolute value of the voltage magnitude are passed to the incoming call control unit 5.

  Based on the information received from the movement status determination unit 4, the incoming call control unit 5 determines whether to set incoming call permission / rejection or change the incoming call volume (S130). In other words, when the current portable terminal 1 is set to allow incoming calls, if it receives “stopped state” information, it is changed to setting for rejecting incoming calls (S140). If the current mobile terminal 1 is set to reject incoming calls and receives “movement state” information, the mobile terminal 1 changes the setting to allow incoming calls (S140).

  In the case of setting the incoming call permission, the incoming call volume is further determined from the correspondence shown in FIG. 15 and the like using the number of times of voltage detection and the sum of absolute values of the voltage magnitude differences. If the current incoming volume of the mobile terminal 1 is different from the determined incoming volume, for example, if the incoming volume of the current mobile terminal 1 is “Volume 1” and the determined incoming volume is “Volume 3”. The setting is changed to “Volume 3” which is the determined ring volume (S140). Note that if the current ring volume of the mobile terminal 1 is the same as the determined ring volume, there is no need to change the volume setting.

  About the above-mentioned process, you may process using a point, as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 16A schematically shows the number of detected voltages and points, and FIG. 16B schematically shows the sum of absolute values of differences in voltage magnitudes and points.

  The movement status determination unit 4 detects the incoming call or the reception of the e-mail at the portable terminal 1 at every predetermined time and every time the vibration is detected at the predetermined time (for example, at a predetermined time before the time) For example, the voltage detection time and the voltage magnitude for 10 seconds are extracted from the recording unit 3, and the determination is performed based on the number of times of voltage detection and the sum of absolute values of the difference between the magnitudes of the voltages a predetermined number of times ago.

  For example, when the determination criterion is as shown in FIG. 15, the movement status determination unit 4 extracts the voltage detection time and the voltage magnitude for 10 seconds from the recording unit 3. Then, in the vibration for 10 seconds, the absolute value of the difference between the number of times of voltage detection and the voltage magnitude of a predetermined number before is calculated, and the sum is calculated. Then, using the number of detected voltages and the sum of absolute values of the magnitudes of the voltages, the movement status (“moving state”, “stopped state”) of the holder of the mobile terminal 1 is determined (S120). Further, a point based on the number of times of voltage detection and a point based on the sum of absolute values of the difference in voltage magnitude are determined, and a total point that is the sum of them is calculated. The determined movement status information and total point information are then passed to the incoming call control unit 5.

  Based on the information received from the movement status determination unit 4, the incoming call control unit 5 determines whether to set incoming call permission / rejection or change the incoming call volume (S130). In other words, when the current portable terminal 1 is set to allow incoming calls, if it receives “stopped state” information, it is changed to setting for rejecting incoming calls (S140). If the current mobile terminal 1 is set to reject incoming calls and receives “movement state” information, the mobile terminal 1 changes the setting to allow incoming calls (S140).

  Further, in the case of setting the incoming call permission, the incoming call volume is further determined based on the total point information. If the current incoming volume of the mobile terminal 1 is different from the determined incoming volume, for example, if the incoming volume of the current mobile terminal 1 is “Volume 1” and the determined incoming volume is “Volume 3”. The setting is changed to “Volume 3” which is the determined ring volume (S140). Note that if the current ring volume of the mobile terminal 1 is the same as the determined ring volume, there is no need to change the volume setting.

  In Example 2 to Example 4, even when the number of times of voltage detection is less than a predetermined reference value (for example, less than 10 times), as in Example 1, the total points are not calculated. Information on the “stop state” may be simply passed to the incoming call control unit 5 as the movement state information, or the “stop state” determined by the movement state determination unit 4 is the same state continuously for a predetermined number of times ( Only in the case of “stop state”), the information of “stop state” as the movement state may be passed to the incoming call control unit 5. For example, in Example 2 to Example 4, “the number of times of voltage detection is 0 to 9”, “the number of times the voltage exceeds the reference value is less than a certain number of times”, “the area is less than the reference value”, “the voltage difference Even if it is determined to be “stopped” due to a state where the sum of absolute values of the values is less than a certain value, if it is determined up to the fourth time in succession, the information of “stopped” is the incoming call control. You may comprise so that it may not be passed to the part 5. FIG. Furthermore, “Voltage detection count is 0-9 times”, “Number of times voltage exceeds reference value is more than a certain number”, “Area is more than reference value”, “Total sum of absolute value of voltage difference is more than a certain value Even if it is determined to be “stopped” due to the state of “”, the information of “stopped” is not passed to the incoming call control unit 5 if it is continuously determined up to the ninth time. May be.

  Further, in the second to fourth embodiments, the vibration function can be set to ON / OFF in place of the ring volume setting as in the first embodiment.

According to the present invention, when it is determined that the holder of the mobile terminal 1 is stationary, the mobile terminal is changed to a setting for rejecting an incoming call or automatically changed to a setting that does not perform a ring tone or a vibration function. When it is determined that the one owner is moving, the mobile terminal 1 can be changed to a setting for allowing incoming calls or automatically changed to a setting for performing a ringtone or a vibration function. As a result, the owner of the portable terminal 1 is less likely to forget the setting for turning off the ringtone volume and vibration function. In addition, by setting the number of vibrations, the average amplitude, and a value calculated based on the amplitude as points, it is possible to make settings in consideration of the level of the incoming call volume and the vibration function. As a result, it is possible to accurately set the incoming / outgoing permission / rejection setting according to the movement situation of the owner, the ringing tone, the vibration function, and the like.
