That is, the communication unit 26, the display unit, and the like so that various processes of the mobile communication device 10 are executed in an appropriate procedure according to the operation of the operation unit 28 and the software stored in the storage unit 24 of the mobile communication device 10. 32 and the like are controlled. The main control unit 22 executes processing based on a program (for example, an operating system program, an application program, etc.) stored in the storage unit 24. Further, the main control unit 22 can execute a plurality of programs (applications, software) in parallel. In the present embodiment, a control unit is a combination of the control functions of the respective units including the main control unit.

  The storage unit 24 stores application programs and data used for processing in the main control unit 22. Specifically, as an application program, a communication management program 24a which is an application program for performing outgoing, incoming and call processing, a communication sound synchronization program which is an application program for performing ring tone setting processing, acquisition processing and synchronization processing 24b, an application program for sending and receiving mail, and the like are stored.

  The operation unit 28 includes, for example, operation keys to which various functions such as a call key, a power key, a numeric key, a character key, and a call key are assigned, and a direction and determination key. When these keys are input by a user operation, the operation unit 28 generates a signal corresponding to the operation content. The generated signal is input to the main controller 22 as a user instruction.

  The audio processing unit 30 executes processing of an audio signal input to the microphone 15 and an audio signal output from the receiver 16 and the speaker 17.

  Next, the operation of the mobile communication device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. Here, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing operation of the mobile communication device on the outgoing side, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing operation of the mobile communication device on the incoming side. 3 and 4 is executed when the mobile communication device 10 basically processes the communication sound synchronization program 24b stored in the storage unit 24 with the main control unit 22. 3 and 4 is executed by processing the communication management program 24a stored in the storage unit 24 by the main control unit 22.

  First, the case where the mobile communication device is used as a mobile communication device on the transmission side will be described with reference to FIG. The main control unit 22 of the mobile communication device 10 receives a call operation as step S12. That is, an operation is input by the user, and a call is made to a specific communication device (a mobile communication device in this process). In this way, the main control unit 22 starts processing when a call operation is input by the user.

  When the transmission operation is performed in step S12, the main control unit 22 determines whether the process execution condition is satisfied in step S14. Here, the process execution condition is a condition stored in the condition table 24c. The process execution conditions will be described later. If the main control unit 22 determines in step S14 that the process execution condition is not satisfied (No), the main control unit 22 executes normal transmission processing in step S16. Here, the normal calling process is a process executed when making a call with the mobile communication device 10. The main control unit 22 proceeds to step S26 after executing the normal transmission process in step S16.

  If the main control unit 22 determines in step S14 that the process execution condition is satisfied (Yes), the main control unit 22 executes a synchronous mode transmission process in step S18. Here, the synchronous mode transmission process is a process in which the ringing tone of the calling-side mobile communication device is the same as the ringing tone of the receiving-side mobile communication device (in addition to the information transmitted by the normal calling processing at the time of outgoing call) ( (Synchronization processing of communication sound) is transmitted.

  The main control unit 22 receives the information of the terminal (mobile communication device) on the receiving side as step S20 after performing the outgoing call processing at step S18. That is, the main control unit 22 receives the information transmitted from the mobile communication device on the incoming side with respect to the calling process executed in step S18. Note that the information transmitted from the mobile communication device on the incoming side includes information indicating that the call processing has been received, information on the mobile communication device on the incoming side, and the like.

  When the main control unit 22 receives the information on the terminal on the incoming side in step S20, it determines whether there is information on the ringtone in step S22. That is, the main control unit 22 determines whether or not the information received in step S20 includes information on the ringtone output by the mobile communication device on the incoming side. The ring tone information is transmitted when the incoming mobile communication device processes the information sent in step S18, and the incoming mobile communication device also executes the communication sound synchronization processing.

  If it is determined in step S22 that there is ringtone information (Yes), the main control unit 22 outputs the set ringtone as a ringing tone in step S24. That is, the main control unit 22 outputs the ringtone sent from the incoming-side mobile communication device as a ringing tone based on the ringtone information received in step S20 and determined to be step S22. At this time, when the information on the voice output timing is supplied together with the ringing tone from the mobile communication device on the incoming side, the main control unit 22 calls at the set output timing while adjusting the time by the timer unit 38. Output sound.

  Further, the main control unit 22 outputs a normal ringing tone as step S26 when there is no ringtone (No) in step S22 or when the process of step S16 is completed. That is, the set ringing tone is output regardless of the ringing tone of the mobile communication device on the receiving side.

  When the main control unit 22 outputs a ringing tone in step S24 or step S26, the main control unit 22 ends this process. Note that the processing related to the call corresponding to the outgoing call processing is performed in parallel, and the processing related to the call is continued even after the completion of this processing. For example, the main control unit 22 ends the ringing tone setting process, but continues to output the ringing tone until the call is started or the outgoing call process ends.

  Next, a case where the mobile communication device is used as a mobile communication device on the receiving side will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 is a process corresponding to the mobile communication device that performs the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 22 of the mobile communication device 10 determines whether there is an incoming call in step S30. When determining that there is no incoming call (No) in step S30, the main control unit 22 proceeds to step S30 and determines again whether there is an incoming call. In this way, the main control unit 22 repeats the determination of whether there is an incoming call until the incoming call is detected.

  If it is determined in step S30 that there is an incoming call (Yes), the main control unit 22 authenticates the terminal (mobile communication device) on the transmission side in step S32. Here, the authentication of the terminal on the calling side is the authentication of information transmitted to the calling process by the portable communication device that has performed the calling process (calling process), and the phone number of the portable communication device, the setting of the call, Incoming call processing conditions are included.

  After performing authentication in step S32, the main control unit 22 determines whether or not a process execution condition is satisfied in step 34. Here, the process execution condition is a condition stored in the condition table 24c. The process execution conditions will be described later. If the main control unit 22 determines in step S34 that the processing execution condition is not satisfied (No), the main control unit 22 executes normal incoming call processing in step S35. Here, the normal incoming call process is a process executed when the mobile communication device 10 detects an incoming call. For example, processing for detecting a ringtone set for each user of the mobile communication device 10 on the caller side and outputting the detected ringtone, or if the manner mode is set, the vibration unit 36 vibrates the housing 10C. And process to notify the incoming call. Further, when the mobile communication device on the calling side is a terminal set to reject incoming calls, a process not to notify incoming calls is also performed. The main control unit 22 ends this process when the normal incoming call process is executed in step S35. Note that the call processing is the same as the incoming call processing, and the processing related to the call is processed in parallel, and even if this processing (processing for determining the incoming call operation) is finished, the processing for outputting the ring tone continues. It is processed.

  Further, when determining that the processing execution condition is satisfied (Yes) in Step S34, the main control unit 22 determines whether the manner mode is set in Step S36. Here, the manner mode is a mode for notifying an incoming call without outputting a ring tone as described above. If the main control unit 22 determines that the manner mode is set (Yes) in step S36, the main control unit 22 cancels the manner mode in step S38 and proceeds to step S40. As a result, the mobile communication device 10 on the incoming side enters a state where it can output a ringtone. If the main control unit 22 determines in step S36 that the manner mode is not set (No), the main control unit 22 proceeds directly to step S40.

  If the main control unit 22 determines No in step S36 or finishes the process of step S38, the main control unit 22 transmits ringtone information and output timing to the calling side as step S40. That is, the main control unit 22 transmits to the mobile communication device on the outgoing side the information on the ring tone that is set to be output by the mobile communication device on the incoming side. Further, the main control unit 22 outputs the information on the output timing in order to output the ringing tone (communication sound) output from the own device and the ringing tone (communication sound) output from the mobile communication device on the transmission side at a corresponding timing. Are also output. As output timing, it is preferable to use information in which time information is associated with each sound (sound) of the ringtone.

  When the process of step S40 is completed, the main control unit 22 outputs a ring tone as step S42. That is, the main control unit 22 outputs the ringtone that has transmitted information to the mobile communication device on the caller side in step S40 as the ringtone of its own device. Further, the main control unit 22 outputs a ring tone in accordance with the output timing transmitted in step S40. When the main control unit 22 outputs the ring tone in step S42, the main control unit 22 ends the process.

  As described above, the communication system 1 and the mobile communication device 10 perform the process shown in FIG. 3 on the caller-side mobile communication device, and perform the process shown in FIG. The ringing tone of the communication device and the ringing tone of the mobile communication device on the receiving side are the same communication tone. By outputting the same communication sound between the caller-side mobile communication device and the callee-side mobile communication device, the user of the caller-side mobile communication device listens to the ringing sound output from the receiver 16 and listens to the same sound from the speaker 17. It is possible to search for a mobile communication device on the receiving side that is outputting the voice. That is, the user can search for a communication partner while confirming the voice output by the communication partner. Thereby, the user on the calling side needs to specify the position of the other party in conversation or the like even when the user on the receiving side is a partner who cannot explain his / her position such as a child, a person who cannot be seen, or a person who cannot hear the ear. Therefore, it is possible to accurately and quickly search for and find a communication partner having the mobile communication device on the receiving side.

  Further, by making the communication sound used as the ringing tone and the ringing tone the same, it can be used even when the voice used as the communication sound is not known. Further, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the output sound is mistaken and the ring tone cannot be specified.

  Further, as in the above-described embodiment, by transmitting / receiving information on the output timing of communication sound and matching the output timing, it is possible to output a ring tone and a ring tone at a predetermined timing. Thereby, when the communication sound is a melody, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the output timing is shifted and the communication sound (basically, the ringtone) of the other party cannot be specified. In addition, since the said effect can be acquired, although it is preferable to synchronize the output timing of a communication sound, it is not limited to this. Since the communication system 1 and the mobile communication device 10 can identify the output voice even if the communication sound is the same without transmitting / receiving the output timing information, the communication partner possessing the mobile communication device on the receiving side can be accurately identified. And you can find and find quickly.

  Here, various conditions can be used as the processing execution conditions of step S14 in FIG. 3 and step S34 in FIG. For example, when the terminal information (communication partner information) is preset terminal information (telephone number, identification information) of the mobile communication device, a processing condition that satisfies the condition can be set. In this way, by setting the mobile communication device that performs communication sound synchronization processing as a specific mobile communication device, it is possible to prevent the communication sound from being changed when it is not necessary to use this function.

  Further, when the time is set by using the schedule function and the timer unit 38, the processing condition that satisfies the condition can be set. Thereby, if the outgoing / incoming process is performed in a range based on the waiting time, for example, 10 minutes before and after the waiting time, the communication sound can be synchronized.

  Further, it is possible to use the position information acquired by the GPS communication unit 34 or the area information acquired by communication with the base station as a processing condition that satisfies the condition when the user is in a predetermined position or area. In this way, communication sound synchronization processing can be performed only when the user is in a predetermined position or area. When using location information and area information, the processing condition that satisfies the condition when the distance between the mobile communication device on the calling side and the mobile communication device on the receiving side is within a certain distance or in a nearby area may be set. it can. In other words, the processing execution condition can be based on whether both are within a certain distance or region. As described above, only when both are close to each other, by performing the communication sound synchronization process, the process can be executed when the function of grasping the position of the communication partner by this process can be used more effectively.

  Further, as a processing condition of the mobile communication device on the receiving side, an acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 39 may be set as the processing condition. Specifically, when the acceleration is moving, specifically when the movement pattern is moving on a train, the processing condition can be set such that the condition is not satisfied. Thereby, for example, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of an unexpected ringtone during movement on a train. Further, the processing condition may be that the condition is satisfied when the acceleration pattern is a walking pattern or a stopped pattern. Thus, it can be used when waiting for a person or searching for a partner within a range where a ring tone can be heard.

  These processing conditions are preferably used in combination of a plurality of processing conditions. By using a combination of conditions, communication sound synchronization processing can be performed when necessary. For example, it is also possible to use the terminal information, the time, and the position information as processing execution conditions, and execute the communication sound synchronization processing only for the other party at the meeting time at the meeting time. The process execution condition is based on whether or not a specific operation is input by the user during a call operation, a call transmission process, a call reception process, and the like, and the process execution condition is satisfied when a predetermined operation is input. Also good.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the signal for making a ringtone the same was output from the portable communication apparatus of the transmission side, it is not limited to this. The mobile communication device on the transmission side can make the communication sound the same by executing the processing shown in FIG. Here, FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing another example of the processing operation of the mobile communication device on the transmission side. Of the processes shown in FIG. 5, processes similar to those shown in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same step numbers as in FIG. 3, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The main control unit 22 of the mobile communication device 10 receives a call operation as step S12. The main control part 22 will perform a normal transmission process as step S16, if transmission operation is performed by step S12. Here, the normal calling process is a process executed when making a call with the mobile communication device 10.

  The main control unit 22 receives information on the terminal (mobile communication device) on the receiving side in step S20 after performing the normal call processing in step S16. That is, the main control unit 22 receives the information transmitted from the mobile communication device on the receiving side with respect to the calling process executed in step S20.

  When the main control unit 22 receives the information on the terminal on the incoming side in step S20, it determines whether there is information on the ringtone in step S22. If it is determined in step S22 that there is ringtone information (Yes), the main control unit 22 outputs the set ringtone as a ringing tone in step S24. If the main control unit 22 determines that there is no ringtone (No) in step S22, the main control unit 22 outputs a normal ringing tone as step S26. That is, the set ringing tone is output regardless of the ringing tone of the mobile communication device on the receiving side. When the main control unit 22 outputs a ringing tone in step S24 or step S26, the main control unit 22 ends this process.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the mobile communication device on the calling side does not determine whether or not the processing execution condition is satisfied, and the ringing tone information is transmitted from the mobile communication device on the receiving side. May be output as

  In addition, the mobile communication device on the receiving side may send ringtone audio data as ringtone information or send identification information for identifying the ringtone. The mobile communication device on the calling side receives the identification information for specifying the ring tone as the ring tone information, and if the ring tone specified by the identification information is stored in the storage unit, the stored ring tone (communication) Sound) may be set as the ringing tone. Further, when the identification information for specifying the ring tone is received as the ring tone information and the ring tone specified by the identification information is not stored in the storage unit, the communication sound is downloaded from the server 6 or the incoming side A ring tone data transmission request may be output to the mobile communication device of the mobile phone and acquired from the mobile communication device on the incoming side.

  In the above embodiment, the calling mobile communication device outputs the ringing tone of the receiving mobile communication device as the ringing tone so that the communication tone is the same voice (although the communication tone is synchronized) ), But is not limited to this. In the communication system 1 and the mobile communication device 10, the mobile communication device on the incoming side may set the ringing tone of the mobile communication device on the outgoing side as the ringtone. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing another example of the processing operation of the calling-side mobile communication device, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing another example of the processing operation of the receiving-side portable communication device. Of the processes shown in FIG. 6, the same processes as those shown in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same step numbers as those in FIG. 3, and detailed description thereof is omitted. Among the processes shown in FIG. 7, the same processes as those shown in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same step numbers as those in FIG.

  First, the case where the mobile communication device is used as a mobile communication device on the transmission side will be described with reference to FIG. The main control unit 22 of the mobile communication device 10 receives a call operation as step S12. When the transmission operation is performed in step S12, the main control unit 22 determines whether the process execution condition is satisfied in step S14. If the main control unit 22 determines in step S14 that the process execution condition is not satisfied (No), the main control unit 22 executes normal transmission processing in step S16. The main control unit 22 proceeds to step S26 after executing the normal transmission process in step S16.

  If the main control unit 22 determines that the process execution condition is satisfied in step S14, the main control unit 22 executes a synchronous mode transmission process in step S18. In the synchronous mode transmission process in step S18, ringing tone information and output timing information are transmitted as necessary. The main control unit 22 receives the information of the terminal (mobile communication device) on the receiving side as step S20 after performing the outgoing call processing at step S18.

When the main control unit 22 receives the information on the receiving terminal in step S20, the main control unit 22 performs step S62.
Then, the receiving side determines whether or not the synchronization process is being executed. That is, the main control unit 22 includes information indicating that the information received in step S62 executes processing for synchronizing the communication sound using the ringing tone information and the like sent by the incoming mobile communication device in step S18. Judge whether it is.

  If the main control unit 22 determines in step S62 that the synchronization process is being performed (Yes), the main control unit 22 outputs a ringing tone in the synchronization mode in step S64. That is, the main control unit 22 outputs the ringing tone transmitted to the mobile communication device on the receiving side as a ringing tone in step S18. At this time, when the output timing information is transmitted in step S18, the main control unit 22 adjusts the time by the timer unit 38 and outputs a ringing tone at the set output timing.

  Further, the main control unit 22 does not execute the synchronization process in step S62 (No) or when the process of step S16 ends, outputs a normal ringing tone as step S26. That is, the set ringing tone is output regardless of the ringing tone of the mobile communication device on the receiving side.

  When the main control unit 22 outputs a ringing tone in step S64 or step S26, the main control unit 22 ends this process. Note that in this case as well, the process related to the call corresponding to the calling process is processed in parallel, and the process related to the call is continued even when this process ends. For example, the main control unit 22 ends the ringing tone setting process, but continues to output the ringing tone until the call is started or the outgoing call process ends.

  Next, the case where the mobile communication device is used as a mobile communication device on the receiving side will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 is a process corresponding to the mobile communication device that performs the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 22 of the mobile communication device 10 determines whether there is an incoming call in step S30. If it is determined in step S30 that there is no incoming call (No), the main control unit 22 proceeds to step S30 and determines whether there is an incoming call again.

  If it is determined in step S30 that there is an incoming call (Yes), the main control unit 22 authenticates the terminal (mobile communication device) on the transmission side in step S32. Here, the authentication of the terminal on the calling side is the authentication of information transmitted to the calling process by the portable communication device that has performed the calling process (calling process), and the phone number of the portable communication device, the setting of the call, Incoming call processing conditions are included.

  After performing authentication in step S32, the main control unit 22 determines whether or not a process execution condition is satisfied in step S34. Here, the process execution condition is a condition stored in the condition table 24c. In the present embodiment, whether or not there is information about the ringing tone from the mobile communication device on the calling side in step S32 is also a criterion for the process execution condition. The main control unit 22 determines that the process execution condition is satisfied when information on the ringing tone is received from the mobile communication device on the calling side in step S32 and other various conditions are satisfied.

  If the main control unit 22 determines in step S34 that the processing execution condition is not satisfied (No), the main control unit 22 executes normal incoming call processing in step S35. The main control unit 22 ends this process when the normal incoming call process is executed in step S35.

  Further, when determining that the processing execution condition is satisfied (Yes) in Step S34, the main control unit 22 determines whether the manner mode is set in Step S36. If it is determined in step S34 that the process execution condition is satisfied, the main control unit 22 sends information indicating that the communication sound synchronization process is to be executed to the mobile communication device on the transmission side. Note that the output timing of this information may be any time after the determination in step S34 and before the processing in step S42. If the main control unit 22 determines in step S36 that the manner mode is set (Yes), the main control unit 22 cancels the manner mode in step S38 and proceeds to step S70. As a result, the mobile communication device 10 on the incoming side enters a state where it can output a ringtone. If the main control unit 22 determines that the manner mode is not set (No) in step S36, the main control unit 22 proceeds to step S70 as it is.

  When the main control unit 22 determines No in step S36 or finishes the process of step S38, the main control unit 22 sets the ringing tone sent from the caller side as the ringing tone in step S70.

  After completing the process of step S70, the main control unit 22 outputs a ring tone as step S42. That is, the main control unit 22 outputs the ringing tone transmitted from the mobile communication device on the transmission side in step S32 as the ringing tone of its own device. Further, the main control unit 22 outputs a ring tone in accordance with the output timing received in step S32. When the main control unit 22 outputs the ring tone in step S42, the main control unit 22 ends the process.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the same effect as described above can be obtained by outputting the ringing sound of the mobile communication device on the calling side as a communication sound from both mobile communication devices. The position of the portable communication device can be easily grasped. It should be noted that the various preferred aspects described above can be used in the same manner in the present embodiment.

  In the above embodiment, the communication sound synchronization processing is performed by processing between the mobile communication devices, but the present invention is not limited to this. The communication system 1 can also perform communication sound synchronization processing by processing communication between portable communication devices by the server 6. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of functions of the server shown in FIG. Note that the communication system 1 can perform communication sound synchronization processing without using a server as described above, or can perform communication sound synchronization processing through a server as described below.

  The server 6 illustrated in FIG. 8 includes a main control unit 52, a storage unit 54, and a communication unit 56. The main control unit 52 is a processing unit that centrally controls the overall operation of the server 6, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). That is, the operation of the communication unit 56 is controlled so that various processes of the server 6 are executed in an appropriate procedure according to software stored in the storage unit 54. The main control unit 52 executes processing based on a program (for example, an operating system program, an application program, etc.) stored in the storage unit 54. Further, the main control unit 52 can execute a plurality of programs (applications, software) in parallel. In the present embodiment, a control unit is a combination of the control functions of the respective units including the main control unit.

  The storage unit 54 stores application programs and data used for processing in the main control unit 52. Specifically, as an application program, a communication management program 54a, which is an application program that performs outgoing, incoming, and call processing, and a communication sound synchronization program that is an application program that performs ringtone setting processing, acquisition processing, and synchronization processing 54b etc. are stored. As data, a condition table 54c used during processing of the communication sound synchronization program 54b, communication sound data 54d including a plurality of ringing sounds and ringing sounds, and the like are stored.

  The communication unit 56 establishes a radio signal line by the CDMA method or the like with the base station 4 via the communication network 3 described above, and performs telephone communication and information communication with the mobile communication device 10. The server 6 is configured as described above. The server 6 may perform communication sound synchronization control and communication management control as a part of various functions, or may perform only this control.

  Next, the processing operation of the server 6 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing operation of the server. The processing operation of the server 6 is also executed by processing the various program data stored in the storage unit 54 by the main control unit 52 as in the above-described portable communication device.

  First, the main control unit 52 of the server 6 detects a call as step S102. In other words, a call origination process transmitted from an arbitrary portable communication device is detected. When the main control unit 52 detects a transmission in step S102, the main control unit 52 acquires information of a terminal that performs communication in step S104. Specifically, the main control unit 52 specifies the mobile communication device on the transmission side and the mobile communication device on the reception side from the information on the outgoing call processing detected in step S102, and acquires information on each terminal. The terminal information may be acquired by communicating with each mobile communication device, or may be acquired from the condition table 54c stored in the storage unit 54.

  After acquiring the terminal information in step S104, the main control unit 52 determines whether or not the process execution condition is satisfied in step S106. Here, the process execution condition is a condition stored in the condition table 54c. The process execution condition is the same as the process execution condition of the mobile communication device described above. In step S106, both the calling-side condition and the receiving-side condition are conditions. If the main control unit 52 determines in step S106 that the process execution condition is not satisfied (No), the main control unit 52 executes normal outgoing / incoming processing in step S108. Here, the normal outgoing / incoming processing is processing that is normally executed when the mobile communication device 10 performs outgoing processing and incoming processing. When the main control unit 52 executes the normal outgoing / incoming processing in step S108, the main control unit 52 ends this processing.

  If the main control unit 52 determines that the processing execution condition is satisfied (Yes) in step S106, the main communication unit 52 sets the same communication sound as the ringing tone and the ringing tone in step S110, and in step S112, the receiving side is in the manner mode. Determine whether. That is, it is determined whether the mobile communication device on the receiving side is in the manner mode. If the main control unit 52 determines that the manner mode is set (Yes) in step S112, the main control unit 52 forcibly releases the manner mode in step S114, and proceeds to step S116. As a result, the mobile communication device 10 on the incoming side enters a state where it can output a ringtone. If the main control unit 52 determines that the mode is not the manner mode (No) in step S112, the process proceeds directly to step S116.

  If it is determined No in step S112 or if the process of step S114 is completed, the main control unit 52 transmits the set communication sound and output timing as step S116. That is, the ringing tone information and output timing are transmitted to the calling side, the ringing tone information and output timing are transmitted to the receiving side, and the process ends.

  Thus, the same communication sound can be output to both portable communication devices by performing communication sound synchronization processing by processing communication between portable communication devices in the server 6. Further, by managing the communication sound by the server 6, it is possible to reduce the addition of control in the mobile communication device. Further, even when there is no communication sound data in the mobile communication device, the communication sound data can be supplied from the server 6, so that the processing can be executed smoothly. In addition, the server 6 should just send only the identification data of a communication sound, when using the data of the communication sound memorize | stored in the portable communication apparatus.

  In addition, since the mobile communication device 10 of the above embodiment can output a ringtone without a user's operation, the manner mode is forcibly canceled when the manner mode is set during the synchronization process. It is not limited. When the mobile communication device 10 is in the manner mode, the mobile communication device 10 may notify the user that the ring tone cannot be output in the manner mode by image display or vibration.

  Moreover, it is preferable not to execute the process of canceling the manner mode under certain conditions. Specifically, it is preferable not to cancel the manner mode when various information (terminal state) acquired by the GPS communication unit, the acceleration sensor, or the like does not satisfy a predetermined condition. As described above, when the terminal state does not satisfy the predetermined condition, it is possible to prevent the ring tone from being output while moving or at an inappropriate position by not increasing the volume.

  The mobile communication device 10 according to the above embodiment receives an incoming call based on the volume detected by detecting the volume of ambient sound (sound collected such as ambient noise) by a sound collection mechanism (volume detection unit) such as a microphone. The sound volume may be controlled. Specifically, when the volume of the noise is equal to or higher than a certain threshold, the volume of the ringtone may be increased. Thereby, even when the surroundings are noisy, the partner who is looking for the mobile communication device on the receiving side can easily grasp the position of the mobile communication device on the receiving side (or the position of the person who has the mobile communication device). . Here, this processing may be executed continuously during the ringing tone output or only when the ringing tone output is started. Further, it is preferable not to execute the process for increasing the volume of the ringtone under certain conditions. Specifically, the volume is not increased when various information acquired by a GPS communication unit, an acceleration sensor, or the like or information on the current time (terminal state) output from the timer unit does not satisfy a predetermined condition. It is preferable. As described above, when the terminal state does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the volume is not increased, so that the ringing tone can be prevented from being output loudly in a crowded train or the like.

  The portable communication device of the present embodiment has been described as having both a function as a mobile communication device on the transmission side and a function as a mobile communication device on the reception side. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Only one of the function as the communication device and the function as the mobile communication device on the receiving side may be provided.

  As the same communication sound, various ring tones and ring tones can be used. Here, as the communication sound, a communication sound used for other incoming calls and outgoing calls may be used, or a dedicated communication sound used for communication sound synchronization processing may be used. That is, at the time of communication sound synchronization processing, a dedicated communication sound may be used as a ringtone and a ringing tone.

  Moreover, since the various effects of the above embodiment can be obtained and the voice output from the communication partner can be specified, it is preferable to output the same voice, but the present invention is not limited to this. As a ringing tone of the mobile communication device on the calling side, information related to the ring tone, specifically, information describing the ring tone (for example, if the ring tone is a song, a song name or a singer name) is output. May be. By outputting information related to the ringtone instead of the same voice, the ringtone output from the mobile communication device on the incoming side can be specified.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated as a process at the time of making a call, ie, the case where the same communication sound is output as a ringing tone at the time of an outgoing call process, and a ringing tone at the time of an incoming call process, it is not limited to this. The portable communication device may perform communication sound synchronization processing when a predetermined operation is input during the call processing. This makes it possible to output the communication sound synchronized in this process when searching for a partner at the meeting place but cannot find it, making it easier to find the partner. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, one sound is output from the receiver 16 and the other sound is output from the speaker 17. However, both mobile communication devices may output sound from the speaker 17. That is, the notification unit that outputs the ring tone and the voice output unit that outputs the ringing tone are not limited to the combination of the speaker 17 and the receiver 16, and the same voice output unit may be used. In this case, the voice output from the own device and the voice output from the other party's portable communication device may be confused and may be difficult to distinguish. Can be searched.

  As described above, the mobile communication device, the server, the communication system, and the synchronous audio output method according to the present invention are useful for use as a mobile communication device having a communication function.
