DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radio telephone device, and more particularly to a radio telephone device capable of notifying an incoming call with a unique melody specified by a caller.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, the following several methods have been proposed as methods of alerting a call in a wireless telephone device.

In the first method, a caller name is stored in correspondence with a calling number and a calling sub-address, and a ring tone type and a voice message are stored in correspondence with the calling number and the calling sub-address. The sub-address is extracted and displayed, and the incoming call is notified by a ring tone or a voice message corresponding to the extracted calling number and the ring tone type stored in correspondence with the calling sub-address, so that the caller number at which the callee is displayed can be viewed. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H03-1818 discloses a method in which a caller can be identified only by listening to a ring tone or a voice message even when the user is at a remote place.
7659.

A second method is to transmit ring tone pattern information for designating a ring volume at the time of outgoing call by a control signal, and to notify an incoming call at the time of an incoming call based on the ring tone pattern information included in the control signal. When the maximum volume specified in the information is larger than the maximum volume set in advance, the caller changes the preset maximum volume to the maximum volume specified in the ring tone pattern, so that the caller can change the environment of the callee. A method capable of setting a corresponding incoming call notification volume has been proposed in, for example, JP-A-10-145856.

In step S304, the incoming melody data storage unit 20 stores the original melody data of the sender.
The storage in (see FIG. 5) detects and overwrites the melody data included in the incoming call information every time an incoming call is received. Therefore,
Even when the caller specifies a new ring melody different from the ring melody specified at the time of the previous call (when the caller changes the melody data), the incoming call can be notified with the new ring melody.

Further, since the melody data for notifying the incoming call is specified by the incoming call information, the user does not need to compose and register a different incoming melody for each caller, thereby improving the user's convenience.

The predetermined incoming melody in step S303 may be a general melody that is normally used.
M22 or a specific area of the incoming melody data storage unit 22 is registered in advance. The predetermined ring tone may be an intermittent signal of a general specific frequency (for example, 16 Hz) which is normally used, and is output from a ring tone generating circuit (not shown).

When the response of the user to the notification of the incoming call is detected (S309), a communication path is formed and the communication state is established (S309).
310) When the end of the call is detected (S311), the incoming call processing ends.

[0049]

As described above, in the radio telephone apparatus of the present invention, an original melody is composed for each user by operating the keys of the operation unit, and the melody is registered in the melody data storage unit in advance, and is registered at the time of transmission. A certain melody data is transmitted together with the caller number by a call setting message, and the called side detects the caller number and the melody data from the call setting message, and stores the melody data in the incoming melody data storage section, and then stores the stored melody. Since the incoming call is notified by the data, the caller can specify the incoming melody to be notified of the incoming call.

Further, the receiving side user can specify the caller only by listening to the melody notified of the incoming call.

Further, since the caller's number and the caller's name are not displayed on the called terminal at the time of notification of the incoming call, the caller's number and the caller's name are not known around.

Further, since the user only has to compose one original melody, it is possible to avoid the trouble of composing different incoming melody for each caller.

Further, on the receiving side, the melody data included in the incoming call information is detected and overwritten in the incoming melody storage unit every time an incoming call is received, so that the user does not need to update the incoming melody.

In the case of an emergency start, the caller sets a tempo designation (high tempo) of the melody data to be notified of the incoming call in the call setting message and transmits the call, and the incoming call notifies the incoming melody at the designated high tempo. Therefore, it is possible to easily recognize that the call is an emergency call.
