  The cellular phone 1 configured as described above has a function of registering voice information (voice print information) acquired via the communication unit 41 in the address book.

Below, the structure and operation | movement for exhibiting the said function which concerns on the mobile telephone 1 are explained in full detail.
First, a configuration for exerting the function of the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration for the mobile phone 1 to exhibit the above functions.

The mobile phone 1 includes a communication unit 41, a voice information acquisition unit 50, and a memory 44.
The voice information acquisition unit 50 acquires voice information of the call partner via the communication unit 41. The memory 44 stores voice information (voice print information) acquired by the voice information acquisition unit 50. As an example, the memory 44 stores an address book in which voice information (voice print information) acquired by the voice information acquisition unit 50 can be registered. In the address book, in addition to voice information, attribute information such as the telephone number of the other party (external terminal) can be registered.

Specifically, the mobile phone 1 includes an audio processing unit 45a and a memory control unit 45b in the control unit 45.
The voice processing unit 45a acquires voiceprint information (information indicating spectrum intensity for each frequency corresponding to the time axis) by performing predetermined processing on the voice acquired by the voice information acquisition unit 50. For example, the voice processing unit 45a sequentially performs frequency analysis on the acquired voice information by fast Fourier transform, and cumulatively adds frequency values. Then, the voice processing unit 45a continues such processing up to a certain section, and finally divides the frequency value by the cumulative number of times until that section. Thereby, the voice processing unit 45a can acquire voiceprint information.
The memory control unit 45b registers the voiceprint information acquired by the voice processing unit 45a in the address book.

  Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can register voiceprint information in the address book as attribute information for specifying the other party. In addition, when the mobile phone 1 acquires the voice information of the other party by the voice information acquisition unit 50 when the user talks to the other party, the mobile phone 1 specifies the other party based on the voice print information stored in the memory 44. Can do.

  Here, the voiceprint information is pattern information obtained by analyzing a human voice and extracting features. Here, the human voice is composed of a collection of sound waves having various frequencies, and the time, frequency, and intensity can be graphed.

The mobile phone 1 further includes a display unit 21 as a notification unit, a voiceprint information determination unit 45c as a voice information determination unit, and a display control unit 45d as a notification control unit.
The voiceprint information determination unit 45c compares the first audio information stored in the memory 44 with the second audio information acquired by the audio information acquisition unit 50 when communicating by the communication unit 41. The call partner is determined from the first voice information and the second voice information. For example, the voiceprint information determination unit 45c includes the first voiceprint information registered in the address book, and the second voiceprint information based on the voice information acquired by the voice information acquisition unit 50 when communicating by the communication unit 41. Are compared to determine whether the first voiceprint information and the second voiceprint information match.

  The display control unit 45d performs predetermined first notification when the voiceprint information determination unit 45c determines from the first voice information and the second voice information that the matching call partner matches, and the matching call partner When it is determined that there is no error, the display unit 21 is caused to perform a predetermined second notification different from the predetermined first notification. For example, the display control unit 45d causes the display unit 21 to perform a predetermined first display when the voiceprint information determination unit 45c determines that the first voiceprint information and the second voiceprint information match. When the voiceprint information determination unit 45c determines that the first voiceprint information and the second voiceprint information do not match, the display unit 21 performs a predetermined second display different from the predetermined first display. . An example of the first display is display of name information registered in the address book in association with the first voice print information. An example of the second display is a display indicating that the first voice print information corresponding to the second voice print information is not registered in the address book.

  Accordingly, the cellular phone 1 determines whether or not the first voice print information and the second voice print information match by the voice print information determination unit 45c, and displays the determination result on the display unit 21 by the display control unit 45d. And the identification result can be presented to the user.

  In addition, when the voiceprint information determination unit 45c determines from the first voice information and the second voice information that there is a matching caller, information on the caller is notified, and the person who has not been registered is notified. If it is a telephone call, the fact is notified. For example, when the voiceprint information determination unit 45c determines that the first voiceprint information and the second voiceprint information match, the control unit 45 is registered in the address book (memory 44) in association with the first voice information. Name information and the like are read out and displayed on the display unit 21. When the voice print information determination unit 45 c determines that the first voice print information and the second voice print information do not match, the control unit 45 corresponds to the second voice print information stored in advance in the memory 44. Information indicating that the first voiceprint information is not registered in the address book is read out and displayed on the display unit 21.

  In addition, when the voiceprint information determination unit determines from the first voice information and the second voice information that there is no matching caller, information about the caller can be stored together with the second voice information after the call. . For example, when the voice print information determination unit 45c determines that the first voice print information and the second voice print information do not match, the control unit 45 stores the second voice print information in the memory 44 (address book) after the call ends. It is possible to memorize. In this case, the control unit 45 obtains information about the caller (the name and address of the caller input by the user, or the telephone number of the terminal used by the caller acquired via the communication unit 41). It can be stored in the memory 44 together with the two voiceprint information.

The memory 44 stores a predetermined word. The mobile phone 1 further includes a voice recognition unit 45e, a word determination unit 45f, and a notification unit 45g.
The voice recognition unit 45 e recognizes the voice acquired by the voice information acquisition unit 50 when communication is performed by the communication unit 41. In other words, the voice recognition unit 45e performs a predetermined voice recognition process on the voice uttered by the other party when the user is talking to the other party, and acquires character information (word) corresponding to the voice information. To do.

  The word determination unit 45f determines whether or not a word corresponding to the voice recognized by the voice recognition unit 45e matches a predetermined word stored in the memory 44. That is, the word determination unit 45f receives the character information acquired by the voice recognition unit 45e, and determines whether or not the word included in the character information matches a predetermined word. The predetermined word is, for example, a word often used for a transfer fraud such as “transfer” or “money”. Thereby, the word determination part 45f will judge that there exists a possibility of a transfer fraud when the word corresponding to an audio | voice and a predetermined word correspond. On the other hand, the word determination unit 45f determines that there is no possibility of wire fraud when the word corresponding to the voice does not match the predetermined word.

  The reporting unit 45g makes a predetermined report when the word determination unit 45f determines that the word corresponding to the voice matches the predetermined word. For example, the reporting unit 45g may report to a registered person such as a relative whose contact information is registered in advance. The predetermined report may be any information that informs the registrant that the caller is talking to a call partner who may conduct a transfer fraud. Therefore, the predetermined notification may be a pre-stored content such as “I am talking to a person who has a possibility of performing a transfer fraud”, for example. Further, the predetermined notification may be, for example, storing the content of the conversation with the other party in the memory 44 and then reporting the content. Then, the reporting unit 45g may automatically send the contents as described above by e-mail, or automatically output the sound having the contents as described above after calling the registrant. Also good.

  Therefore, since the mobile phone 1 makes a predetermined report to the registrant, the registrant can be made to determine whether or not there is a possibility that the other party will make a transfer fraud.

The mobile phone 1 further includes a housing (the operation unit side body 2, the display unit side body 3, and the hinge mechanism 4), a pressure sensor 51, and a pressure change notification unit 45j.
The pressure sensor 51 detects pressure applied to the housing. The pressure sensor 51 outputs the pressure detection result to the pressure change notification unit 45j. For example, when the user passes the mobile phone 1 to another user, the pressure applied to the housing changes. The pressure sensor 51 detects such a pressure change and notifies the pressure change unit of the detection result.

  The pressure change notification unit 45j detects a change in pressure applied to the housing based on the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 51, and when a pressure change is detected, the pressure change detection result via the communication unit 41. Is output. That is, the mobile phone 1 outputs the pressure change detection result to the caller's mobile phone 1 by the pressure change notification unit 45j. When the detection result of the pressure change is input, the mobile phone 1 of the other party performs a predetermined operation such as causing the LED 25 to emit light, vibrating the vibrator 47, outputting sound from the speaker 24 or the receiver 22, and the like. Alert the user.

  Therefore, when the speaker and the receiver are making a call using the mobile phone 1 of the present embodiment, if the speaker passes the mobile phone 1 to another speaker, the receiver's mobile phone Since information indicating that the speaker has changed is output to 1, the receiver can know that the speaker has changed.

The mobile phone 1 further includes an automatic response processing unit 45h.
When a call is received from the other party, the automatic response processing unit 45h receives the second party of the other party when the other party's caller information (for example, the telephone number of the other party) is not registered in the address book. An automatic response is made to obtain voiceprint information.

  In the case of performing an automatic response, the memory 44 stores predetermined audio information. Note that the predetermined voice information is, for example, information that causes the other party to speak, such as “Please say your name”. Then, the automatic response processing unit 45h reads predetermined audio information from the memory 44 and causes the external terminal to output the predetermined audio information via the communication unit 41.

  When the other party speaks according to the predetermined voice information, the voiceprint information determination unit 45c determines whether the second voiceprint information of the other party matches the first voiceprint information registered in the address book. . Further, the display control unit 45d causes the display unit 21 to perform a predetermined display based on the determination result by the voiceprint information determination unit 45c.

  Therefore, when the call partner information of the call partner is not registered in the address book, the mobile phone 1 causes the call partner to speak by the automatic response processing unit 45h and acquires the second voice print information of the call partner. be able to.

The mobile phone 1 further includes an operation control unit 45i.
When the word determination unit 45f determines that the speech-recognized word matches the predetermined word, the operation control unit 45i causes the LED 25 to emit light, vibrates the vibrator 47, and outputs sound from the speaker 24 or the receiver 22. The control is performed.
Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can call the user's attention if there is a possibility that the other party will make a transfer fraud.

  Note that the control unit 45 may cause the predetermined warning voice information stored in the memory 44 to be output to the external terminal serving as the call partner via the communication unit 41. The warning sound information may be, for example, a patrol car siren sound. Thereby, the mobile phone 1 can issue a warning when the other party is making a transfer fraud by letting the other party hear the warning voice information.

Next, the operation of the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

<Second Embodiment>
Since the basic structure and functional configuration of the mobile phone 1 according to the second embodiment are the same as those of the mobile phone 1 according to the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

  The mobile phone 1 according to the second embodiment has a function of changing the speed of voice acquired by the voice information acquisition unit 50 based on tone information.

Below, the structure and operation | movement for exhibiting the said function which concerns on the mobile telephone 1 are explained in full detail.
First, a configuration for exerting the function of the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration for the mobile phone 1 to exhibit the above functions.

  The mobile phone 1 includes a communication unit 41, a voice information acquisition unit 50, and a memory 44. Furthermore, the mobile phone 1 includes a determination unit 45k and an audio speed change unit 45l in the control unit 45.

The voice information acquisition unit 50 acquires voice information via the communication unit 41.
The memory 44 stores an address book capable of registering tone information based on the voice acquired by the voice information acquisition unit 50 and information (attribute information) regarding an external terminal capable of communicating via the communication unit 41. To do.

  The determination unit 45k determines whether or not the information related to the external terminal that is the other party of communication and the information (attribute information) related to the external terminal registered in the address book match when the communication unit 41 performs communication. To do. The information regarding the external terminal is, for example, information on the telephone number of the external terminal. Therefore, when the mobile phone 1 receives an incoming call from the external terminal, the determination unit 45k determines whether or not the telephone number of the external terminal matches the telephone number registered in the address book.

  When the determination unit 45k matches the information about the external terminal serving as the communication partner and the information about the external terminal registered in the address book, the voice speed changing unit 45l 50 changes the speed of the sound acquired. The tone information is, for example, information such as the speaking speed of the call partner (too fast, fast, normal, slow, etc.), ease of hearing of the call partner's voice (moistness, normal, high-pitched), and the like. Therefore, for example, when “fast” is set as the tone information, the voice speed changing unit 45l performs a predetermined process on the voice information of the other party to slow down the speaking speed of the other party. The speed has been changed to make it easier for users to hear.

  Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can change the speaking speed of the other party to a speed that is easy for the user to hear based on the tone information registered in the address book.

Next, the operation of changing the speed at which the other party speaks based on the tone information will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 7 is a first flowchart showing the operation of the mobile phone 1 according to the second embodiment.

First, in step S201, the control unit 45 detects an incoming call from an external terminal.
In step S202, the control unit 45 detects outgoing call partner information (information on the external terminal) including the telephone number information of the external terminal.

  In step S203, the memory control unit 45b determines whether or not the tone information is registered in the address book based on the calling party information. That is, the memory control unit 45 b searches whether the attribute information (telephone number information) corresponding to the calling party information is registered in the address book stored in the memory 44. Furthermore, when the attribute information corresponding to the calling party information is registered in the address book, the memory control unit 45b determines whether the tone information is registered in the address book together with the attribute information. When the tone information is not registered in the address book (No), normal call processing is performed. If the tone information is registered in the address book (Yes), the process proceeds to step S204.

In step S204, the voice speed changing unit 45l performs voice output setting processing to change the speed of voice acquired by the voice information acquiring unit 50 based on the tone information.
That is, the voice speed changing unit 45l adjusts the speaking speed of the calling party and outputs it from the receiver 22.

In step S205, the control unit 45 detects an end-of-call operation by the user.
In step S206, the voice speed changing unit 45l cancels the voice output setting performed by the process of step S204 when the control unit 45 detects a call-ending operation.

Next, an operation for registering tone information after the call is finished will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 8 is a second flowchart illustrating the operation of the mobile phone 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the mobile phone 1 according to the second embodiment.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8, in step S <b> 301, the user presses an end-call key constituting the operation unit 11 (see FIG. 9A).

In step S302, as an internal process of the mobile phone 1, the control unit 45 detects that the end call key has been pressed.
In step S303, the control unit 45 performs a call termination process.

  In step S304, the memory control unit 45b searches the address book in order to determine whether or not the information on the other party is registered in the address book.

  In step S <b> 305, the memory control unit 45 b determines whether or not information on the calling party (for example, attribute information) is registered in the address book based on the search result obtained in step S <b> 304. If the information of the calling party is not registered in the address book (No), other processing such as registering the information of the calling party in the address book is performed. If the other party's information is registered in the address book (Yes), the process proceeds to step S306.

  In step S306, the memory control unit 45b determines whether tone information is registered in the address book. If the tone information is not registered in the address book (No), the process proceeds to step S307. If the tone information is registered in the address book (Yes), sampling processing is performed. The sampling process is a process for resetting tone information. When resetting the tone information, the control unit 45 may automatically set the tone information.

  In step S307, the display control unit 45d causes the display unit 21 to display a wizard for registering the tone information in the address book.

  In step S308, the user performs a process of responding to the process of step S307. That is, the user sets tone information. The process in step S308 is, for example, a process as shown in FIGS. 9B to 9D. That is, the process illustrated in FIG. 9B is a process in which the user selects whether the speaking speed of the other party is “too fast”, “fast”, “normal”, or “slow”. Further, the process shown in FIG. 9B is a process in which the user selects whether the voice of the other party is “moist”, “normal”, or “high”. Further, in the process shown in FIG. 9C, it is necessary to remove noise or the like (noise) in the environment where the other party is present from the voice output from the receiver, either “necessary”, “unnecessary”, or “depending on the situation”. This is a process for the user to select whether or not.

In step S309, the user determines whether to end the process of responding to the wizard.
In step S310, the control unit 45 detects that the process in step S308 has been performed.

  In step S311, the memory control unit 45b registers the wizard response resulting from the process in step S308 in the address book. That is, the memory control unit 45b registers the tone information in the address book.

  In step S312, the control unit 45 determines whether the user has responded to all questions. That is, the control unit 45 determines whether or not the user has responded to all the wizards. If the user has responded to all questions (Yes), the process proceeds to step S313. If the user has not responded to all questions (No), the process proceeds to step S314.

  In step S313, the display control unit 45d causes the display unit 21 to display a question completion message indicating that the tone information has been registered in the address book by the memory control unit 45b (see FIG. 9E).

  In step S314, the display control unit 45d causes the display unit 21 to display the next wizard. That is, the display control unit 45d causes the display unit 21 to display questions that are not answered by the user.

  In the first and second embodiments, the mobile phone 1 has been described as an example of the electronic device. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the electronic device may be, for example, a fixed telephone, a PHS (Personal Handy phone System), or the like.
