DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a structure of a wireless telephone including an S telephone, and more particularly to a structure of a wristwatch-type wireless telephone which is used by attaching the wireless telephone to a wrist of a human body with a band.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A PHS telephone capable of putting all the functions necessary for a radio telephone in a case, attaching a band to the case, and attaching the band to a wrist for use is already known from the literature "Suzuki et al.," All-in-one type ". Wristwatch-Type PHS Phone ", NTT R & D, Vol. 47, No. 6, pp. 629-634, June 1998"
Posted in This PHS phone is about 30cm ³
Since all functions are included in the volume, it is also possible to remove the band, put the main body part in another case, and lower it from the neck like a pendant.

FIG. 4 shows the appearance of this wristwatch-type PHS telephone. In the figure, numeral 21 is a telephone case (storage), 22 is a transmitter (microphone), 23 is a receiver (speaker), 24 is a display, 25 to 27 are operation buttons, and 28 is a band (wearing part). Is represented.

As shown in FIG. 1, a telephone case 21 of this watch type PHS telephone has three operation buttons 25 to
27 (actually, there is another operation button not shown), a display unit 24, a transmitter 22, and a receiver 23. Also, a battery and an antenna are built in.

[0005] Further, since no dial button is provided, it is possible to dial using voice recognition.
The distance between the transmitter and receiver arranged on the main body is about 4 cm. This wristwatch-type PHS telephone has a loud-voice call function, so that the main body can be separated from the ears and the mouth, and a call can be made in a posture as if you normally watch a wristwatch.

[0006]

The problem with the above-mentioned loudspeaker calls is that the contents of the received call are heard in the surroundings, and that the contents of the received sound are difficult to hear due to the influence of noise in an environment where the ambient noise is large. It is. In order to solve the above problems, the above-mentioned wristwatch-type PHS telephone has a terminal to which an earphone microphone can be connected (this terminal is not shown).

FIG. 5 shows an example of this earphone microphone. In the figure, numeral 31 denotes a receiver (earphone), 32
Denotes a receiver code, and 33 denotes a transmitter. As shown in the figure, this example is composed of a receiver (earphone) 31 to be attached (inserted) to an ear, and a transmitter (microphone) 33 located at a portion of 12 to 13 cm from the receiver 31 via a receiver cord 32. Have been.

[0008] In addition to the above, there are various shapes such as those having a transmitter from the receiver through a linear support member. However, even with these earphone microphones, the problem described above has not been completely solved. One of them is that it is difficult to make the shape and dimensions of the earphone inserted in the ear suitable for everyone,
Therefore, there is a possibility that the ear may not be properly attached to the ear and may come off, or conversely, the feeling of pressure on the ear may be excessive.

Further, since the earphone microphone is usually connected to a connection terminal of a portable telephone or a PHS telephone via a cord having a length of about 1 m, there is a problem in the storage capacity when not in use. For this reason, it is conceivable to wind up the cord of the earphone microphone around the phone body.However, in this case, it is necessary to wind up and store both the earphone part and the microphone part, and the structure becomes large and complicated. There's a problem.

[0010] As another problem, the use of the earphone microphone when a person is around may sometimes surprise or unpleasant the people around. This is a mobile (PH
S) It is because the style of talking without touching the telephone body to the ear is not general. A form in which a transmitter and a receiver are mounted on a band in a wrist-mounted wireless telephone has already been proposed in the document "" Wrist Phone ", Japanese Patent Application No. 5-126427].

FIG. 6 shows another example of such a wrist-mounted wireless telephone as another example of a conventional wristwatch-type wireless telephone. In the figure, reference numeral 41 denotes a wireless telephone body case, 42 denotes a lower band portion, 43 denotes a band upper layer portion, 44 denotes a receiver, 4
Reference numeral 5 denotes a transmitter, and reference numeral 46 denotes a pivotable hinge.

In FIG. 1, a wireless part of a wireless telephone is placed near the wrist on the back of the hand, and a band attached to the case is wrapped around the wrist like a wristwatch, and the band has two layers. A transmitter and a receiver are mounted on the telephone.

[0013] The upper layer of the band is stopped by a pivotable hinge located on the palm side of the band. When a transmitter and a receiver are used, the upper layer of the band is rotated by 90 degrees around the hinge. Let it.

At this time, the receiver on the band is in the palm of your hand,
The handset is located on the opposite side of the handset across the hinge, ie inside the arm. During a call, hold the palm handset to your ear. One transmitter section approaches the mouth. This method solves the above-mentioned problems of the loudspeaker call and the earphone microphone.

However, in realizing this method, there are at least two problems. One of them is a wiring method from a main unit to a transmitter or a receiver. The wiring of the band portion can be realized by embedding in the band.

However, wiring from the main body side band (lower layer portion) to the transmitter or receiver side band (upper layer portion) via the hinge portion is difficult to realize structurally. Easy to cause.

The second problem is that there is no flexibility in the distance from the hinge to the transmitter or the receiver, and it is difficult to apply this method to individual differences in the dimensions of the human hand. It is considered that the material of the band in this method requires a certain degree of rigidity and flexibility, but it is difficult to realize with a stretchable material because of the wiring in the band. On the other hand, it is also difficult to fold the band in terms of material.

According to the present invention, when using a conventional wristwatch-type portable telephone as described above, privacy during call which is a problem in a loud voice call is secured, and an earphone which is a problem in an earphone microphone is attached to an ear. It is an object of the present invention to realize a wristwatch-type mobile phone capable of eliminating discomfort in communication, storage, and calling style.
