FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the CPU 20 provided in the computer main body 12, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the CPU 31 provided in the mobile phone 30.
Here, as information received by the computer 10 from the other computer 11, a so-called electronic mail (e-mail) will be described as an example.
[0026]
First, when receiving an electronic mail (step 100), the CPU 20 temporarily stores address data attached to the electronic mail in the RAM 21 (step 110). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the stored address data is address data registered in the address ROM 22 (step 120).
That is, only information transmitted from the registered transmission source is transmitted to the mobile phone 30.
Subsequently, when the stored address data is registered, the text data in the e-mail is stored in the RAM 21 (step 130). Then, the telephone number of the mobile phone 30 is called from the telephone number ROM 23, and a call is made from the modem 26 via the telephone line 6 (step 140). Subsequently, the text data stored in the RAM 21 is converted into voice data (step 150). When an incoming call to the mobile phone 30 is confirmed (step 160), the voice data is transmitted to the mobile phone 30 (step 170). ).
[0027]
On the other hand, when the CPU 31 of the mobile phone 30 determines the incoming call (step 200), the CPU 31 causes the speaker 38 to play a ringing tone (step 210), and when it is on-hook, starts receiving data (step 220). It converts the data into voice and reproduced by the speaker 38 (step 230). Then, it determines the end of reproduction (step 240), determines the end of reception (step 250), and returns to the state of waiting for the next incoming call (step 200).
[0028]
As described above, according to the information communication system of the first embodiment, when the computer 10 receives information transmitted from another computer 11, the received information can be transmitted to the mobile phone 30. Therefore, even if the person who should receive the information is not in the place where the computer 10 is installed, the person can be notified of the information.
[0029]
Moreover, since only the information transmitted from the transmission source registered in advance can be transmitted to the mobile phone 30 among the information received by the computer 10, the mobile phone 30 prevents unnecessary reception and performs efficient reception. be able to. Furthermore, since the text data transmitted from the other computer 11 can be reproduced by voice by the mobile phone 30, the contents of the information can be heard by ear.
Note that the received information may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 41. The modem 26 and the telephone line 6 constitute transmission means of the present invention, and the CPU 20 functions as the transmission means of the present invention by executing steps 100 to 170.
[0030]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The information communication system of the second embodiment is characterized in that the mobile phone 30 can select received information.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the CPU 31 provided in the mobile phone 30. Here, information is transmitted from a plurality of other computers 11 to the computer 10, and the plurality of information is transmitted from the computer 10 to the mobile phone 30.
[0031]
First, when an incoming call is received (step 300), reception of data is started (step 310), and a transmission source name corresponding to a plurality of transmission source identification codes of the received data is displayed in characters on the liquid crystal display 41 (step 320). Then, by operating the selection button 43 provided to the mobile phone 30 selects a desired source name (step 330), the text data of the information selected sender name is transmitted is converted into voice Is reproduced by the speaker 38 (step 340). Subsequently, when it is determined that reproduction has ended or reception has ended (steps 350 and 360), the process returns to a state of waiting for an incoming call (step 300).
[0032]
As described above, according to the information communication system of the second embodiment, since the mobile phone 30 can select information that the user wants to know, the information can be received efficiently.
The selected information can be stored in the RAM 32 by pressing the memory button 49 when the information is selected. The selection button 43 constitutes the information selection unit of the present invention, and the CPU 31 functions as the information selection unit of the present invention by executing the above step 330.
[0033]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The information communication system of the third embodiment is characterized in that information received by the computer 10 can be transmitted to a person carrying a pager.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the main internal configuration of the pager. As shown in FIG. 5, the pager 50 is provided with a CPU 51 that controls the reception and display of information. The CPU 51 converts information received by the antenna 56 into a signal that can be processed by the CPU 51. The receiving circuit 55, the RAM 52 and the ROM 53 for storing the address data attached to the received information, and the ROM 54 in which the transmission source name is registered are connected.
[0034]
Further, the CPU 51 includes a display circuit 57 that converts stored information into a signal for display on a liquid crystal display 58 as display means, a selection button 60 for selecting received information, a power switch, and a display. A switch 61 such as a changeover switch and a display density adjustment switch is connected to an audio circuit 62 for causing the speaker 59 to sound and notifying an incoming call.
[0035]
Next, the control of the CPU 20 provided in the computer 10 and the CPU 51 provided in the pager 50 when the information transmitted from the other computer 11 to the computer 10 is transmitted from the computer 10 to the pager 50 will be described with reference to FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the CPU 20, and FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the CPU 51. Note that steps 400 to 420 in FIG. 9 are the same as steps 100 to 120 in FIG.
[0036]
First, in step 420, if it is determined that the received e-mail address matches the registered address, the pager 50 number is read from the telephone number ROM 23 and the pager 50 is called. Is performed (step 430). Subsequently, when an incoming call from the pager 50 is confirmed (step 440), the address data stored in the RAM 52 is transmitted to the pager 50 (step 450).
[0037]
On the other hand, when the CPU 51 of the pager 50 determines an incoming call (step 500), the speaker 59 is driven by the voice circuit 62 to generate a ringing tone (step 510). Subsequently, the transmission source name corresponding to the received address data is read from the ROM 54 and displayed on the liquid crystal display 58 by the display circuit 57 as characters (step 520). Here, the person carrying the pager 50 looks at the displayed sender name and makes a telephone contact with the sender as necessary. When the power is turned off (step 530), the process returns to the incoming call waiting state (step 500).
[0038]
Thus, according to the information communication system of the third embodiment, it is possible to notify a person carrying the pager 50 that information has been transmitted from the other computer 11 to the computer 10. Moreover, since the name of the information source is displayed on the pager 50, it is possible to contact the source.
Further, the pager 50 is provided with an information selection function provided in the mobile phone 30, and a desired address is selected and stored in the RAM 52 by operating the selection button 60 (see FIG. 2). You can also
Note that the computer 10 may be configured to transmit the head portion of the text data of the e-mail to the pager 50 and display the head portion as characters on the liquid crystal display 58 of the pager 50.
[0039]
