Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent origination from being missed by monitoring the time of a clock circuit part, enabling a user to set up the schedule time for origination and an originating destination, and at the set origination time, preparing origination to the scheduled originating destination and calling upon the user to originate. CONSTITUTION:The origination time and the originating destination at that time are previously set up in a control part 2 while checking a display on a display part 4 by an operation part 3. The current time is counted up by a clock function always driven in the clock circuit part 1 in each interruption generated in each fixed time and whether the origination time coincides with the current time or not is decided. When both the time values coincide with each other, origination to the previously set originating destination is prepared and an alarm is generated at the time of completing the origination preparation to inform the arrival of the origination time to the user.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a car telephone device, and particularly has a clock function and automatically prepares to make a call when the time comes, and notifies the user that the call is ready. This invention relates to a car telephone device that can give a signal.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional car phone devices, after the user schedules the time and destination to make a call, the user follows that schedule and, when the time to call arrives, makes a call to the scheduled destination. The method was to operate.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional car phone device described above, the user first writes down or remembers the scheduled time to make a call and the destination to call at that scheduled time, and when the scheduled time arrives, the user calls the destination. I was preparing to make a call, and was performing operations to make a call.

However, there is a drawback that the user may forget the schedule and the user's attention is taken away from looking at the memo, which is somewhat dangerous when the user is driving a car.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by having a clock function, allowing the user to set in advance the scheduled time of outgoing call and the destination to call at that time, and when the scheduled outgoing time arrives. To provide a car telephone device capable of automatically preparing to make a call to a scheduled destination and prompting a user to make a call when the preparation is completed.

[Means to solve the problem]

The car telephone device of the present invention includes a clock circuit unit that measures time, a clock circuit unit that monitors the time of the clock circuit unit, and allows the user to set the scheduled time and destination of the call. When the scheduled time arrives, the control unit prepares to make a call to the scheduled destination and prompts the user to make the call.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a car telephone device according to an embodiment. This car phone device includes a clock circuit section 1 that measures time, monitors the time, and allows the user to set the scheduled time of call and the destination to call at that time, and when the time to call comes, A control unit 2 that automatically prepares to make a call to a scheduled destination and prompts the user to make the call, and a control unit 2 that allows the user to specify the scheduled time of the call and the destination to be called at that time.
It consists of an operation section 3 for setting.

The operation section 3 has a display section 4.

FIG. 2 is a chart showing the control flow of the control unit 2, particularly at the time of timer interrupt.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, the time to make a call and the destination to make a call at that time are set in advance in the control section 2 using the operation section 3 while checking the display on the display section 4 .

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the clock function of the clock circuit section 1, which is always operating, counts the current time (step S2) every time there is an interrupt at a fixed time interval (step S1). It is determined whether the time and the transmission time match (step 33). If the result of the judgment is that they do not match, the process returns to the control that was in effect when the interrupt occurred (step S4). If they match, prepare to make a call to the preset destination (step S5).
), an alarm (not shown) will be activated when preparations for making a call are completed.
The user is informed that it is the time to make a call by sounding (step S6).

After recognizing the alarm, if the user wishes to make a call, the user operates the keys necessary for making a call on the operation unit 3 (step S7), and the alarm is canceled (step S8).
), outgoing processing is performed (step S9). If the key necessary for making a call is not operated even after a certain period of time has passed after the alarm is generated (step S10), the original operation is returned to (step Sll).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the user only has to set the scheduled time of the call and the destination corresponding to that time in advance, and after recognizing the signal from the car phone device that the call is ready, the user can use simple operations to set the desired call destination. You can make a call to the desired destination at the time of the day. Therefore, it is effective in preventing forgetting to make a call, shortening the time required to make a call, and improving driving safety.
