KR20010091722A - Circuit for controlling a ringer of a mobile phone and method thereof - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for controlling a ringer tone in a portable phone are provided to install an alarm control sensor and a contact protrusion between the front side and cover of a portable phone so that a user can rapidly interrupt a generated alarm as he simply puts a suitable pressure on the portable phone. CONSTITUTION: If a signal is transmitted to an alarm control sensor as an alarm is operated, a CPU initializes the operation of the sensor. In case that the sensor is an operating state, the CPU enters to a detection stand-by state. If sensor input is detected, the CPU stops the alarm. Then the CPU judges whether the contact time between the alarm control sensor and a contact protrusion is within a preset time. In case that the contact time is within the preset time, the CPU transfers to a light-emitting mode. However, if the contact time exceeds the preset time, the CPU transfers itself into an origination-only mode and transmits a calling/voice recording guide message.

A speaker 13 and a microphone 14 which perform the following are provided.

The conventional mobile phone configured as described above employs alarm means such as ringing, vibration, and light emission to notify the user of an incoming state.

However, conventional mobile phones generally require the vibration mode to be set in public places, where meetings, classes, performances, meetings, etc. should be suppressed. However, users cannot always recognize these matters. There are many cases of noise generation caused by ringing, which is a serious social noise pollution problem.

In particular, even if the user responds quickly to the alarm generation process, it takes a few seconds to operate the bell, and if the user is embarrassed in this process, there is a problem of adding damage to others by slowing the operation.

Therefore, the present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems of the prior art, by mounting an alarm control sensor and a contact protrusion between the front and the cover of the mobile phone main body when the user simply by applying an appropriate pressure to the mobile phone from the outside In addition, the alarm can be quickly cut off and at the same time, the alarm preliminary sound, which is a signal sound that does not disturb others in the ringing alarm mode, can be easily coped with the embarrassment caused by sudden ringing in a quiet environment. It is for that purpose.

In addition, the mobile phone control method of the present invention for achieving the above object is a message input process for receiving a message output from the base station, and a signal output process for outputting a signal for a time set in the alarm unit when receiving a message in this message input process After the signal output process, the key input process is used to determine whether there is a key input in the key input standby state, and if there is a key input, it returns to a call state and returns to the key input standby state if there is no key input, and the alarm mode after this signal output process. Determines the type and makes a preliminary alarm sound when ringing

In case of other mode other than ringing and ringing, alarm sound generation process that executes alarm and whether sensor state is off after this signal output process is judged. If the sensor input is in the sensor input judgment process, the alarm stops after the alarm and switches to the emitting mode if the ringing tone is a short signal within the set time. It is characterized by consisting of a ringtone set time determination process for transmitting a message, such as a call, voice recording guide.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an alarm control method performed in connection with the mobile phone circuit block configuration of FIG. 3. The message input process of receiving a message output from a base station as shown in FIG. When the message is input in the message input process, the signal output process outputs a signal for the time set in the alarm unit, and after the signal output process, the key input standby state determines whether there is a key input. If not, a key input process for returning to a key input standby state, and after the signal output process, determine an alarm mode type and generate a preliminary alarm sound in a ringing mode, and execute an alarm in other modes other than ringing. And determining whether the sensor state is off after the signal output process. After the sensor enters the sensor input judgment process to determine whether there is a sensor input, and when the sensor input state in the sensor input determination process stops the alarm, if the incoming sound is a short signal within the set time, the alarm is switched to the light emitting mode to execute the alarm. If it is a long signal that is not within the set time, it is a process of determining the ring tone setting time for transmitting a message such as a call, voice recording guidance after switching to the call-only mode.

The operation of the present invention made as described above will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, a process of generating an alarm signal in a mobile phone is described. When the caller is dialed, the dialing signal is called through the relay station. The signal is output to the alarm generator in accordance with the incoming signal. At this time, the mobile phone operates in a preset alarm mode, and determines whether there is a key input in a key input standby state, and switches to a call state if the key is input, and checks the key input state again if the key is not input.

When a signal is transmitted to the alarm control sensor 20A according to the alarm operation, the operation of the sensor 20A is initialized. This is to prevent malfunction when the sensor 20A is already in contact with another object before the alarm is generated.

When the sensor is initialized, it is determined whether the sensor is in the off state, and if it is in the off state, it is regarded as an abnormal state and proceeds to the sensing standby state.

If the sensor input is not detected after the sensor detection standby state, the sensor returns to the sensor detection standby state again, and if the sensor input is detected, the alarm is stopped, and the contact time between the alarm control sensor 20A and the contact protrusion 20B in operation. Depending on whether it is applied within this setting time (for example, 2 seconds), the operation is divided into two cases as follows.

First, when the contact time is within 2 seconds of the set time, the light emitting mode is switched.

Second, when the contact time exceeds the set time of 2 seconds, it switches to the dial-only mode and transmits a message such as a call / voice recording guide.

On the other hand, after the process of outputting the signal to the alarm generating device determines the type of alarm mode to run the alarm immediately in other modes other than the ringing mode, and in the ringing mode to send the alarm preliminary sound generated when receiving a mobile phone message After the alarm is triggered.

The alarm preliminary sound may be given a short time for subsequent actions by using a short beep (a sound that does not disturb others) generated when a message is received.

The mobile phone described above can be applied to any of a digital cellular phone, a CDMA phone, and a PCS, and the product model of the mobile phone can be applied to either a flip type or a folding type.

As described above, the present invention is equipped with an alarm control sensor and a contact protrusion between the front and the cover of the main body of the mobile phone, when the alarm occurs, the user simply applies an appropriate pressure to the mobile phone from the outside to quickly cut off the alarm and ring at the same time. In the ringing alarm mode, alarm preliminary sound, which is a level signal that does not disturb others, is generated to reduce the noise generation factor and cut off more noises in advance, thereby causing embarrassment due to sudden ringing in a quiet environment. Discomfort due to use and the effects of noise pollution to others can be limited.
