Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reject an incoming call without making a caller feel unnaturalness by making a called side send a disconnection signal of incoming call reject to a telephone line network and making the telephone line network send a signal to the effect that a telephone is busy to a caller when the inherent number of the caller is stored in a storing means to a calling from the caller and also incoming call reject information is attached. SOLUTION: A user of a mobile telephone set 1-2 operates operation keys 3, 3,-... and a communication key 3a, transmits to a mobile telephone set 1-1 and calls it. The set 1-1 signals to the user to the effect that an incoming call arrives and shows the inherent number of a calling side on displaying part 2. Also, when it rejects the incoming call by the operation keys 3, 3,... except the key 3a, it stores it in a storing part 4. The set 1-1 sends a disconnection signal before signaling response or calling even if a calling comes from a mobile telephone 1-2 of an inherent number stored in the part 4. Thus, the incoming call can be rejected without unnaturalness because it is shown that the telephone is busy on the displaying part of the set 1-1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the configuration and operation of a mobile telephone to which the mobile telephone of the present invention is applied.
In FIG. 1, 1-1 is a PHS (Personal Handy-phone).
A mobile phone such as a system (simple mobile phone). The mobile telephone 1-1 has a display unit 2, a plurality of operation keys 3, 3,... Including a call key 3a, and a storage unit 4.

[0008] 1-2 is also a mobile telephone. The configuration of the mobile telephone 1-2 is the same as the configuration of the mobile telephone 1-1, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the present embodiment, the mobile phone 1-1 is assigned a unique number of "0501234567", and the mobile phone 1-2 is assigned "030018".
7110 ".

The above-mentioned display unit 2 is an LCD (Liquid Cry).
stal Display: liquid crystal display)
It displays the state of radio waves, various messages, or the destination number stored in a memory (not shown), displays the destination number when making a call, and displays the caller number when receiving a call. A flash memory or the like is used as the storage unit 4, and stores a telephone number (unique number), a name, a call history, a status of whether or not call rejection is performed, and the like.

First, in FIG. 1A, the user of the mobile telephone 1-2 operates the operation keys 3, 3,... Called by calling -1.

At this time, the storage unit 4 of the mobile telephone 1-1 is used.
Is a number "03001871" unique to the mobile telephone 1-2.
It is assumed that 10 "is not stored, or that the number is stored but the call is not rejected.

At this time, the mobile telephone 1-1 uses a notifying device (not shown) to notify the user of the mobile telephone 1-1 of the incoming call by sound or vibration. Mobile phone 1 at the same time
-1 displays the unique number of the mobile telephone 1-2, which is the calling side, on the display unit 2. Usually, the user of the mobile telephone 1-1 operates the call key 3a to start a call, or operates a hold key (not shown) to put the call on hold.

In the present embodiment, the user of the mobile telephone 1-2 can operate the operation keys 3 other than the call key 3a during the incoming call.
When one of the operations 3 is operated, a disconnection signal is transmitted to the mobile telephone 1-2, and the incoming call is rejected as shown in FIG. At this time, "busy" is displayed on the display unit 2 of the mobile telephone 1-1 on the calling side.

In the mobile telephone 1-1, the call key 3
If any one of the operation keys 3, 3... other than “a” is operated to reject a call, a number unique to the calling mobile telephone 1-2 is stored in the storage unit 4. Alternatively, if a unique number is stored in the mobile telephone 1-2 already called in the storage unit 4, the status of the incoming call rejection for this number is set to "incoming call rejection".

The number once rejected is stored in the internal storage unit 4. If a call is made from the caller's number next time, before answering or notifying the call. Disconnect the line.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a flow of states between a telephone line network to which the mobile telephone of the present invention is applied and a mobile telephone. In FIG. 2, when a call is made, it is determined whether or not the caller ID is notified based on whether or not the caller ID can be notified. Side number will be notified. By operating a key other than the call key during a call, a disconnection signal is transmitted to the calling side, and the calling state is disconnected and released.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display example on the display unit 2 of the present embodiment. In FIG. 3A, caller numbers called in the past are sequentially displayed as a call history.
At this time, when a predetermined one of the operation keys 3 is operated, the user is asked whether to set the incoming call rejection for the displayed caller number as shown in FIG. 3B.

In the example shown in FIG. 3B, when the key "0" is operated, the displayed caller number is stored in the storage section 4, and at the same time, the caller number is set to reject the call (FIG. 3B). 3 (c)). On the other hand, if the key "1" is operated, the next incoming call history is displayed or the display of the incoming call history is terminated without setting the incoming call rejection.

Conversely, when canceling the rejection setting,
As shown in FIG. 3, the incoming call history is sequentially displayed on the display unit 2, and when a caller number corresponding to the release of incoming call rejection is displayed, a predetermined key among the operation keys 3 is operated. You can cancel the rejection setting. As a result, a normal incoming call response can be performed.

As described above, according to the present invention, even when the user does not want to talk with the other party, it is not necessary to turn off the power in a hurry or to stop talking once. In this case, the calling party typically calls this number again,
Since the called side has memorized the party whose call has been rejected, the call is disconnected without performing the incoming call operation.

If this is a PHS or a mobile phone, the calling party has gone out of the communication area (outside the service area) or thought that the phone is broken and gives up, and the operation of rejecting a call is established. Also, the storage of the call rejection setting can be discarded in this way, so that the next call can be easily canceled even if a response is desired.

That is, according to the above-described embodiment, first, an incoming call can be rejected by a simple operation. Second, it is possible to judge the other party after the calling state is reached and reject the incoming call. Third, the callee is rejected as if the state of the radio wave is bad, and the caller intentionally rejected the call. Particularly in the case of the PHS, the mobile phone is often out of the service area due to the radio wave condition, so that the incoming call can be rejected without giving the other party unnaturalness.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of unique numbers and call rejection information for the unique numbers are stored in the storage means. When the number unique to the caller is stored in the storage means and the call rejection information is added to the number, a disconnection signal is transmitted to the caller. In addition, in response to a call having a unique number assigned to the caller, the unique number is displayed on the display means, and a disconnection signal is transmitted to the caller by operating the first operation means. If the number unique to the caller is not stored in the storage means, the unique number is stored in the storage means and call rejection information is added to the number. When a number unique to the caller is stored in the storage means, the call rejection information is added to the number stored in the storage means.
