2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of portable telephones, not only small size and light weight but also ease of use that meets the needs of customers is required. It seems that the answering machine function built into the mobile communication terminal is also due to this background.

[0003] The answering machine function built into the mobile communication terminal itself is such that when a call cannot be answered when a call is received, the terminal automatically receives an incoming call and the terminal user can call the other party. A function of notifying that the user cannot answer the call (response message) or recording a message from the other party is common as a conventional answering machine. The answering machine function has been further developed, and several types of response messages have been prepared in advance, and terminals that can be used properly according to the purpose of the user have appeared on the market.

[0004] According to the needs of each user, the answering message of the answering machine can be set in detail, but on the contrary, the usability as the answering machine function is deteriorated. Even if you are traveling the same way, the situation differs depending on whether you are traveling by train or the user driving and driving by car, so not only enable the answering machine function but also set the response message Must be bothersome.

[0005] In addition, in the case of commuting or going to school, it takes time and effort to enable or disable the answering machine every time, although the user usually moves at a fixed time every day. What is provided as an important function will rather increase the annoyance.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to overcome the above-mentioned prior art, an object of the present invention is only to determine whether the answering machine setting is valid or invalid. Provided is a method of appropriately selecting and setting to reduce the complexity of the user.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an area (cell) unique to a mobile communication terminal.
A circuit that counts the number of times of zone shifts that occur when a user crosses over a certain period of time, and determines whether the user is moving or stationary. At the same time, if it is determined that the vehicle is moving, the surrounding noise is captured through the microphone in the terminal and compared with the environmental noise sample held in the terminal in advance to determine whether the vehicle is moving by train or not. It is possible to determine whether or not the user is moving, and to appropriately set a response message of the answering machine according to the environment of the mobile communication terminal itself.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. It shows a block configuration of a mobile communication terminal device, an antenna 11 for transmitting and receiving radio waves, a microphone 17 for transmitting own voice to a communication partner, and capturing external environmental noise into the terminal, and a voice of the communication partner. , A radio unit 12 for transmitting and receiving radio waves, a baseband unit 13 for processing a digital signal of an intermediate frequency converted before and after the radio unit, and converting a digital signal into a voice or vice versa. DSP14 to convert, audio front end part to amplify signal of speaker and microphone
15.The terminal is composed of a microcomputer 19 that controls each circuit block and compares the environmental noise of the external world with the environmental noise sample stored in the terminal, and a memory 18 that stores the environmental noise sample data. Have been.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the mobile communication terminal device is set as an answering machine, in step 1, the number of times of zone transfer is detected. In Step 2, T = n = 5 minutes
If ten or more zone shifts have been detected, the process proceeds to step 3, and if not detected, step 1 is repeated. In step 3, external environmental noise is captured from a microphone inside the terminal for t = 5 seconds.

If it is determined in step 4 that the captured external noise is very similar to the environmental noise sample held in the terminal, the process proceeds to step 5, and if not, step 1 is repeated.

If it is determined in step 5 that the external environmental noise is similar to the environmental noise sample 1, the process proceeds to step 7; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 6. In step 7, the response message of the environmental noise sample 1 is selected, and the response message of the sample 1 (in this case, moving on a train) is sent to the caller.

When the process proceeds to step 6, a response message of the environmental noise sample 2 is selected, and a response message of the sample 2 (in this case, indicating that the vehicle is moving by car) is sent to the caller. Pour).

A third embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In step 1, the start time of the answering machine set by the user is detected every 50 msec. In step 2, if the set time can be detected, the process proceeds to step 3, and if not, step 1 is repeated. In step 3, if the answering message of the answering machine is set to 1, the process proceeds to step 4; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 5.

In step 4, setting 1 is selected as a response message of the answering machine, and the response message of setting 1 (in this case, moving by train) is sent to the caller. In step 5, setting 2 is selected as a response message of the answering machine, and the response message of setting 2 (in this case, the fact that the user is moving by car) is sent to the other party who made the call.

In step 6, as in step 1,
The end time of the answering machine set by the user is detected every 50 msec. If the set time is detected in step 7, the process proceeds to step 8; otherwise, step 6 is repeated. In step 8, the setting of the answering machine ends.

A fourth embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In step 1, when the user issues an instruction to lock the key button of the mobile communication terminal device, in step 2, it is checked whether the voice data of the user is stored in the terminal in advance. If it is held, the process proceeds to step 3, and if not, the process proceeds to step 4.

In step 3, the voice of the user is captured from a microphone in the terminal. In step 4, it is notified that user voice data needs to be registered again, and in step 5, user voice data is collected from a microphone in the terminal.

In step 6, the captured user voice data is stored in the terminal as environmental noise sample data. In step 7, a comparison is made with the user voice data stored in the terminal in advance.

In step 8, if the comparison with the audio data matches, the process proceeds to step 9; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 10. In step 9, the key buttons are locked. In step 10, the user is notified that the voice data registered in advance does not match the user voice data, and the key button is not locked.

The fifth embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In step 1, the user issues an instruction to release the key button lock. In step 2, the voice data of the user is captured from a microphone in the terminal.

In step 3, comparison is made with user voice data registered in advance. In step 4, if the voice data matches, the process proceeds to step 5, otherwise the process proceeds to step 6.

In step 5, the key button lock is released. In step 6, it is notified that the user voice data does not match the voice data registered in advance, and the key button lock is not released.
