G ") is displayed, and after one call sounds, the call is disconnected. At this time, no answer is sent.

If the mobile station 100 is in a low voltage state when a mail with a message is received during standby, a message to that effect (“no battery”, message reception N
G ") is displayed, and after one call sounds, the call is disconnected. At this time, no answer is sent.

After the reception of a mail with a message by manual or automatic response during a call or standby,
First, a message is received, and the screen is switched to a screen 6D displaying that "message is being received" in accordance with the receiving operation.

After the reception of the message is completed,
The melody receiving operation is started by receiving the “melody present code”. Then, in accordance with the melody receiving operation, a screen 6E for notifying the operation status (“melody receiving”) is displayed. While this screen 6E is being displayed, the message pictogram is displayed blinking.

If the reception of the melody has been completed and this reception operation has been performed during standby, the apparatus returns to the standby state, and the reception status of the mail with message (“E-mail with message”, “ Message OK ",
A screen 6F for notifying “melody OK”) is displayed. This screen 6F is continuously displayed until an operation for confirming the message content is executed. Therefore, here, the display is controlled so as not to be erased even if the “OFF” key is operated.

[0097] Even if the receiving operation is performed during standby, after the melody reception is completed, a manual reception operation can be performed to directly shift to a telephone call.

On the other hand, if the reception of the melody has been completed and this reception operation has been performed during a call, the reception status of the mail with message (“the presence of mail with message”, “message OK ”,“ Melody OK ”
6G is displayed. Thereafter, while the screen 6F is being displayed, the user operates the "OFF" key to return to a state in which a call is being made. Thus, the PHS mobile station 1
In 00, a received message is not displayed in real time during a call.

[0099] In the message-e-mail-attached status display stage on the screen 6F or 6G, the received message and melody are stored in the empty area of the information storage unit 6.

By the way, after the reception of the mail with the message by manual or automatic response during the call or the standby (after the display of the screen 6C), the PB signal (message information sent from the other party) is transmitted for a predetermined time. When the reception is not detected, the mail transmission / reception control unit 501 determines that the message reception has failed, and displays a screen 6H notifying the fact (“message reception failure”). Then, while the screen 6H is being displayed, the "OFF" key is operated, thereby returning to the busy state or the standby state.

Further, while the screen 6A is being displayed, “mail reception”
If there is no free space in the reception area (storage area) when is selected, a message to that effect (“full message”, message reception N
G "), and returns to the screen 6A after a predetermined time has elapsed.

As described above, the PHS mobile station 1 of the present embodiment
In 00, the transmitting user notifies the transmitting user of the transmission during the call and prompts the receiving user to perform a receiving operation, or the receiving side sets an automatic incoming call mode, and the transmitting side starts transmitting at a desired timing. Thereby, the mail transmission with the melody can be performed.

Next, the PHS mobile station 1 according to the present embodiment
The transmission / reception sequence of the melody-attached mail between 00 will be described with reference to FIG.

In this transmission / reception sequence, the transmission side performs a transmission operation after selecting a message and a melody to be transmitted according to, for example, a mail transmission operation procedure shown in FIG. By this transmission operation, the mail transmission / reception control unit 501
Is started (step 701), and the transmission side transmits the “SETU” to the reception side via the INW (ISDN).
A "P" signal is transmitted.

At this time, the receiving side is in a standby state (step 721). By receiving the above-mentioned "SETUP" signal via the INW, the mail transmission / reception control section 501 is activated and the sounder 53 rings the incoming call (step 72).
2) and control of automatic response is performed. Subsequently, the receiving side transmits "ALERT" and "CONN" signals to the transmitting side via the INW, and shifts to a talking state (step 723).

On the other hand, on the transmitting side, after the transmission processing described above, "ALERT" transmitted from the transmitting side via INW,
By receiving each signal of "CONN", the state shifts to a call state (step 702). After shifting to the call state, the transmitting side starts message transmission by performing a message transmission operation according to the operation procedure as shown in FIG. 5 (step 703).

In this message transmission, the mail transmission / reception control unit 501 reads out the message data selected by the previous operation from the information storage unit 6 and transmits the data communication unit 7, the TDMA unit 3, the modem unit 2, and the radio unit 1 to each other. Then, the signal is transmitted to the jurisdiction station, for example, the PHS base station CS1.

When the PHS base station CS1 receives the message data, the PHS base station CS1 transmits the received message data via the INW, for example, the PHS base station CSm, which is a receiving station.
, And the PHS base station CSm transmits the message data to the receiving side. At this time, the message data is converted into a PB signal and transmitted on the INW side. In addition,
In this message transmission, data such as a message end code and a check code are also transmitted as data other than the message data.

On the other hand, on the receiving side, step 7
03 is sent to the PH
After receiving by the antenna 1 in the form of a PB signal from the S base station CSm, the digital information is transmitted to the radio unit 1, the modem unit 2,
The PCM codec 4 of the communication unit 4 via the TDMA unit 3
2 where the digital information is transferred to DTMF
The DTMF signal is converted into a signal, and the DTMF signal is input to the DTMF receiver 8 via the mode switch 43. Furthermore, D
The TMF receiver 8 receives the DTMF signal, and inputs the DTMF signal to the mail transmitting / receiving unit 501.

As described above, the PHS mobile station 1 of the present embodiment
00, the message data is received as a DTMF signal.
The reception processing of the message information composed of the DTMF signal is performed. In addition, with respect to the "melody-existing code" and "melody data" to be described later transmitted from the transmitting side, the receiving side receives the information as a DTMF signal in the same manner as the message data. Further, the transmitting side also receives DTMF signals for "message OK / NG", "melody possible code", "message receiving NG code", "melody receiving OK code", etc., which will be described later. Is configured.

On the premise of such a transmission system, on the receiving side, after transitioning to the talking state in step 723, the message communication mode (the mode changeover switch 43 is switched to the DTMF receiver 8 side) is set by the control of the control unit 5. In this state, the timer is set and it is monitored whether or not the DTMF signal has been received (step 724). The DTMF signal to be monitored here is message data sent from the transmission side.

During the DTMF acquisition monitoring (step 72)
4) If the DTMF signal is received before the timer set in the transition to the call state times out (obtained in step 724), the mail transmission / reception control unit 501
Analyzes the received message based on the input from the DTMF receiver 8, stores it in the information storage unit 6, and performs an incoming call process such as displaying it on the display unit 52.

In the incoming call processing, the mail transmission / reception control section 501 stores the message data received so far in the information storage section 6 by receiving the message end code from the transmission side, and Is stored. In addition, a check code following the message end code is received to monitor whether or not the message data is normally received.
Signal indicating "K" or "Message NG" (PB signal)
Is returned to the sender.

During the DTMF acquisition monitoring operation (step 724), if the timeout occurs without receiving the DTMF signal (time-out at step 724), disconnection activation is performed.

On the other hand, after transmitting the message in step 703, the transmitting side monitors whether a DTMF signal has been obtained (step 704). The DTMF signal to be monitored here is a reception status code sent from the receiving side.

During this DTMF acquisition monitoring (step 70)
4) When "message OK" is received as the reception status code, a "melody presence code" indicating that there is a melody to be attached and transmitted to the previous message is transmitted to the receiving side (step 705). . At this time, the transmitting side creates a message transmission result based on the reception result of the reception status code at this time, and stores and stores the message transmission result.

Also, during DTMF acquisition monitoring (step 70)
4) If the "message NG" is received as the reception status code, or if the timeout of 20 seconds has been reached without reception after the transmission of the check code, the transmission of the "melody presence code" to the receiving side is performed. Instead, only the process of storing and holding the message transmission result based on the reception result of the reception status code at this time is performed.

On the other hand, on the receiving side, after transmitting the receivable code to the transmitting side, the receiving side is kept in a state of monitoring DTMF acquisition (step 726). During the DTMF acquisition monitoring, if the timeout has occurred without receiving the “melody present code” (timeout in step 726), disconnection activation processing is performed (step 727).

On the other hand, when the “melody-existing code” is received (the melody-existing code in step 726), it is determined whether or not the melody can be received. Melody Receivable Code "
Is transmitted to the transmitting side (step 728). In addition,
When transmitting this "melody receivable code", activate the melody data end timer, and if no melody data is received before the timeout of this timer,
A disconnection start process is performed (step 729).

On the other hand, after transmitting the "melody present code" in step 705, the transmitting side is placed in a state of monitoring DTMF acquisition (step 706). During the DTMF acquisition monitoring, if the timeout has occurred without receiving the melody receivable code (timeout in step 706), it is determined whether or not the “melody present code” has been retransmitted (step 707). If NO in step 707, the process returns to step 705 to retransmit the melody, and if the melody has been retransmitted (step 707YE).
S), a disconnection start process is performed (step 708).

On the other hand, the "melody receivable code"
Is received (the melody receivable code in step 706), the melody data is transmitted to the receiving side (step 709).

At the time of transmitting the melody data, the transmitting side reads out the selected melody data from the information storage section 6 prior to the transmission processing, converts the melody data into a melody code,
A melody start code, a tempo code, a melody end code, and a melody check code are added to this and transmitted to the receiving side. At this time, if an arrangement code is added to the melody data, the arrangement code is also transmitted.

On the other hand, after transmitting the "melody receivable code" in step 728, the receiving side is placed in a state of monitoring DTMF acquisition (step 730). This DTM
During F acquisition monitoring, if the “melody check code” that is the last information of the information sent from the transmitting side in step 709 cannot be received, it is determined whether the “melody receivable code” has been transmitted twice. (Step 73
1) If not already transmitted (step 731 NO),
Returning to step 728, the “melody receivable code” is retransmitted, while if it has already been transmitted (step 731YE
In step S), a disconnection activation process is performed (step 732).

On the other hand, the "melody check code"
Is received (melody check code in step 730), it is determined whether the check code is appropriate (step 733). If the check code is appropriate (OK in step 733), the melody data reception end timer is canceled and ""Melody reception OK code" is transmitted (step 734), and after 5 seconds, disconnection activation processing is performed (step 735).

If the check code is not appropriate (NG in step 733), a "melody reception NG code" is transmitted (step 736), and it is further checked whether the melody reception is the first time (step 736). 73
7) If the melody is received for the first time (step 737)
YES), the process returns to the melody reception operation of step 730, and the melody reception is not the first time (step 737).
NO) After 5 seconds, a disconnection start process is performed (step 73).
8).

On the other hand, after transmitting the melody in step 709, the transmitting side is placed in a state of monitoring DTMF acquisition (step 710). During this DTMF acquisition monitoring,
When the "melody reception OK code" is received (step 7)
At 10, a melody reception OK code) and disconnection start processing are performed (step 711). When the “melody reception NG code” is received (in step 710, melody reception N
Next, it is determined whether or not the melody data has been retransmitted (step 712). If the melody data has not been retransmitted (NO in step 712), the process returns to the melody transmission operation in step 709, and if the melody data has been retransmitted (step 712).
YES), a disconnection activation process is performed (step 713).

Further, if the time-out has occurred without receiving either the “melody reception OK code” or the “melody reception NG code” (time-out at step 710), it is then determined whether or not the melody data has been retransmitted. (Step 714) If it has not been retransmitted (NO in Step 714), it returns to the melody transmission operation of Step 709, and if it has been retransmitted (Step 715YE).
S), a disconnection activation process is performed (step 715).

As described above, in the PHS mobile station 100 according to the present embodiment, when an arrangement code is added to melody data, the melody data can be transmitted to the transmitting side including the arrangement code. Therefore, the receiving side can arrange and reproduce the melody data using the arrangement code.

Further, according to the present embodiment, data relating to the arrangement of the melody data is added and received as an arrangement code for transmission / reception.

By transmitting and receiving the data indicating the melody arrangement with the arrangement code in this manner, the arrangement is performed for each melody note, and the data relating to the arrangement is reduced in data amount as compared with transmitting and receiving the data relating to the arrangement. Transmission and reception are possible, and occupation of the communication line can be prevented.

Next, the melody confirmation operation procedure in the PHS mobile station 100 will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a melody confirmation operation procedure during standby in the PHS mobile station 100 according to the present embodiment.
