Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone having acceleration detecting means built in the portable telephone, and more particularly to a portable telephone capable of automatically executing a specific operation mode related to an acceleration pattern. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The following is known as an example in which acceleration detecting means or speed detecting means is attached to a telephone.

[0003] One is a parent-child telephone in which acceleration detecting means is attached to a child device that is connected to the parent device wirelessly (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-121240). The purpose of the slave unit with the acceleration detecting means is that it is not necessary to operate the external line button of the slave unit in a dark place, and only by picking up the slave unit, the acceleration detecting means detects it and illuminates the dial portion. It is in. Usually, instead of the acceleration detecting means, a vibration detecting means for detecting a vibration generated when the child device is picked up is used.

[0004] Another method is to attach speed detecting means to the communication terminal device, and when the speed exceeds a certain value, the receiver does not respond to the incoming call in order to ensure safety. A message is transmitted (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-243465). The purpose of the communication terminal device with the speed detecting means is to prevent the driver from being distracted by the telephone and causing an accident when a call is received while the automobile is running at high speed.

[0005] Still another is an automatic answering telephone device provided in a car to which a car telephone or a portable telephone can be connected, for the purpose of finely judging a state of not responding to an incoming call. In this device, when at least one of the outputs from the plurality of acceleration detecting means and the speed sensor outputs data that is inappropriate for the driver to answer a call, an automatic response process is performed (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-313359 gazette).

In each of the above devices, the speed detecting means or the acceleration detecting means can secure a safe and reliable telephone call while avoiding inconvenience and danger.

[0007]

However, each of the above devices has the following problems.

In the case of a parent-child telephone, lighting is performed when the child device is picked up so that the dial of the child device can be reliably seen even at night. There is no way to utilize the function of the detection means sufficiently. In particular, the purpose is limited as described above, and there is no room for selection.

Further, in the case of a wireless terminal device which attempts to ensure security by not responding to an incoming call when the speed exceeds a certain level, it is determined whether or not to respond to an incoming call only from the speed. There is a question on safety because the surface becomes coarse. In other words, when the driver operates the steering wheel suddenly even during low-speed driving, or when the steering wheel operation is busy on a curved road, unless the driver picks up the handset and talks on the wireless terminal device, automatic processing is not performed, so telephone connection is not possible. . Further, although there are many types of processes that do not respond to an incoming call, such as an answering machine mode and a transfer phone mode, there is no room for selecting the type of automatic processing in this wireless terminal device.

[0010] In the case of an automatic answering telephone device attached to a vehicle using a plurality of acceleration detecting means and speed sensors, it is possible to respond to each phase during driving of the vehicle in detail. That is, it is possible not to respond to the incoming call while operating the sharp steering wheel even during low-speed running. However, this automatic answering telephone device is mounted on a car, and is not built in a telephone. For this reason, it is impossible to implement input means that can be executed because the mobile phone has the acceleration detection means built therein. Further, this automatic answering telephone apparatus has many choices in a mode in which no call is answered, but there is no room for selection. In addition, it is expensive because many acceleration detecting means and speed sensors are attached.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to analyze a driving state of a vehicle to more precisely determine a state in which it is not appropriate for a driver to answer a telephone. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile phone having built-in acceleration detecting means for performing processing.

Another object of the present invention is to apply a specific acceleration pattern to a mobile phone by giving a forced movement such as a snapping swing to the mobile phone, and to set an operation mode previously associated with the acceleration pattern. An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone that can be executed by the mobile phone. Here, the “operation mode” includes all operations and states of the mobile phone, including operations and states of the mobile phone. The acceleration pattern broadly includes a speed pattern. Therefore, the acceleration pattern includes a constant speed and the like.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone capable of predicting the life and analyzing the cause of a failure when an impact of an acceleration level such as a drop which causes a failure when repeatedly applied to the mobile phone is applied. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile phone capable of recording and displaying the history.

[0014]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a portable telephone for transmitting and receiving voice data, an acceleration detecting means for detecting an acceleration applied to the portable telephone, and an acceleration obtained by the acceleration detecting means. Acceleration analysis means for analyzing data to obtain an actually measured acceleration pattern. This mobile phone has a first storage unit that stores a plurality of categorized acceleration patterns in advance, and a second storage unit that stores a plurality of operation modes of the mobile phone set in advance. are doing. This mobile phone is
Further, a determination means for determining which of the plurality of acceleration patterns stored in the first storage means corresponds to the actually measured acceleration pattern, and an operation mode stored in the second storage means, And control means for causing the mobile phone to execute a specific operation mode associated with the corresponding acceleration pattern.

With the above configuration, the following functions can be provided to this portable telephone. (A) Safe driving This function performs an automatic process when it is taken care of when answering an incoming call while driving a car or the like and it is not preferable for safety. In some cases, the determination of the state in which the automatic processing is performed can be determined only by the speed. However, the determination based on the speed is not so simple as to apply to all cases. According to the configuration of the first aspect of the present invention, in response to driving conditions such as whether the vehicle is accelerating or running on a sharp curve, road conditions, or the like, a drive mode that does not respond to an incoming call or a ring tone is set. It is possible to freely set whether or not to use a manner mode for notifying an incoming call without emitting a call. This determination is made based on the above-described measured acceleration pattern by a first storage unit, for example, a ROM (Read Only M
emory) is compared with a typical acceleration pattern group stored in the group. The acceleration patterns here include:
As described above, the speed pattern is also included, and the speed pattern includes a constant speed.

In addition, there are many types of operation modes that do not respond to an incoming call, and according to the above-mentioned portable telephone, the user selects in advance a process that is convenient for the user from the many types and sets the setting means. Can be set by Note that “corresponding” the actually measured acceleration pattern to the acceleration pattern stored in the first storage means means that the actually measured acceleration pattern and the actually measured acceleration pattern correspond to each other as well as the specific acceleration pattern and the actually measured acceleration pattern. This includes comprehensively judging the magnitude relationship between the average value and the maximum value with respect to. Further, even when there is no corresponding specific acceleration pattern based on the comprehensive judgment, it can be determined that the pattern is a dangerous acceleration pattern and output as if the dangerous acceleration pattern actually exists.

The portable telephone according to the first aspect of the present invention can be used not only to improve the safety of driving a car, but also to enjoy a novel input method as follows. It is.

(B) Implementation of a Specific Operation Mode by Adding an Acceleration Pattern The second storage means stores an operation mode associated with the acceleration pattern. As this second storage means, it is desirable to use a storage means capable of writing and reading, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory). When a forced motion with acceleration is applied to the mobile phone, the mobile phone performs an associated mode of operation. This operation mode includes an operation of calling a destination telephone number in the call mode. Therefore, it is possible to call a specific party simply by shaking the mobile phone without inputting by voice or key. This is expected to be a useful function for those who are not good at speaking in public. In addition, mainly for young people,
It is expected that the use of the forced exercise by the user himself feels fresh, and the sense of play is stimulated to spread the use. Furthermore, if you associate a phone number such as a police box near the road you always pass with a specific acceleration pattern and memorize it, if you are about to be attacked by a thug at night, you do not need to check the input key, By giving such a swing to the mobile phone, it is possible to prepare for an emergency. further,
With the above configuration, there is a possibility that a world of unexpected new usage will be opened.

(C) Storing and Displaying Impact History As an example, there is the following usage method. When the mobile phone is repeatedly applied with an acceleration equivalent to the impact received when the mobile phone is dropped on a concrete ground from a high place, a failure such as breakage may occur. When an acceleration pattern having such a large acceleration level is applied, the history of the impact can be written in the second storage means and displayed on the display device. For this reason, the cause of the failure of the mobile phone can be understood, and it is easy to predict the replacement time and the like.

The following are included in the acceleration patterns stored in the first storage means in order to carry out the above operations (A), (B) and (C). (A) When a call is received while driving a car, the acceleration pattern is determined to be dangerous if the driver who is the user of the mobile phone responds to the call; (b) Human power such as swinging with snapping , The number of peaks when an acceleration pattern having a mountain shape with a time transition is applied, and (c) the acceleration pattern of an impact applied to the mobile phone such as a fall.

In the portable telephone of the present invention, as described above, a wide range of use by which the user can participate is as follows.
(1) The acceleration detecting means is built in the mobile phone, and (2) a plurality of acceleration patterns and a plurality of operation modes can be set in association with each other. The implementation of the specific operation mode by the application of the acceleration has not existed in the past, and has only become possible with the new configuration of claim 1 including the above (1) and (2). The acceleration analyzing means, the discriminating means and the control means are obtained by combining an acceleration analyzing part, a discriminating part and a control part provided in a CPU with each program stored in a first storage means (ROM or the like). It is configured.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the above-mentioned mobile phone, the second storage means is provided with a correspondence table in which the relation between the acceleration pattern and the operation mode is set.

With this configuration, the acceleration pattern and the operation mode are related to each other, and various operation modes can be executed by a simple input using acceleration. Also,

Malfunctions and the like can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to increase the reliability of the input based on the acceleration. As the predetermined external input, for example, as an incoming call signal, it is desirable that the acceleration detection mode transition means is operated by the incoming call signal. With this configuration, when the user is driving in a car and intends to drive safely, when there is an incoming call, it can be automatically processed according to the state at that time, while when there is no incoming call, ordinary processing Usage methods can be used.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the portable telephone according to the third aspect, further comprising a flip open / close detecting means, wherein a predetermined external input is kept pressed by a key which can be input in a flip closed state. The acceleration is applied while continuing.

It is easy to press a key that can be pressed with the flip closed, and while holding down that key,
It is easy to apply a forced motion of a specific acceleration pattern. As a result, for example, a specific operation mode can be stored with one hand, and the specific operation mode can be performed with one hand. As a result, it is possible to further enhance the sense of fashion and appeal to the sense of play. Also,
It becomes easy to call a police box or the like in the case of a sudden attack by a thug.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the portable telephone according to the third aspect, further comprising an antenna expansion / contraction detecting means, wherein the predetermined external input is one of a state where the flip is opened and a state where the antenna is extended, or Both are in a duplicate state.

The above input can be easily performed by groping without confirming the key number. Therefore,
Even in a dark place, or in an instant, it is possible to make it possible to input an acceleration.

In the portable telephone according to the sixth aspect, in the portable telephone according to the fourth or fifth aspect, when the acceleration is applied in a state where the flip is opened, the communication mode is set, and when the flip is closed, the acceleration is increased. When added, an association is set to be an operation mode other than the call mode.

According to this configuration, the user can distinguish between the case of talking and the case of not talking based on the open / closed state of the flip, and add an acceleration pattern for storage input and storage call. Originally, in a call state, the flip is used in an open state, so it is a combination of inputs that is easy for the user to understand, and is effective for popularizing acceleration input.

In the portable telephone according to the seventh aspect, the third to sixth aspects are provided.
The mobile phone according to any one of the above, further comprising an acceleration detection mode confirmation display means, wherein the acceleration detection mode confirmation display means is provided with a predetermined fixed external device while the acceleration detection mode transition means is operating. Is displayed on the display unit to indicate that the acceleration detection mode has been set.

According to this configuration, the user can input an acceleration by swinging or the like after knowing that the mobile phone has been accepted.
For this reason, it becomes easy to add the input of the acceleration intended by the user. As a result, accurate input can be performed, and the reliability of the acceleration pattern as input means can be improved.

In the portable telephone according to the eighth aspect, the first to seventh aspects are provided.
Wherein the response mode confirmation display means is operated by a predetermined external input, and when an acceleration pattern is subsequently applied, the response mode confirmation display means is associated with the acceleration pattern. The current operation mode is displayed on the display.

With this configuration, the user can confirm whether or not the applied acceleration pattern is related to the intended operation mode. As a result, the user can add a predetermined acceleration pattern with peace of mind,
It is possible to enhance the reliability of the acceleration input method and promote the spread of the mobile phone of the present invention.

According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, in any of the above-mentioned portable telephones, the portable telephone comprises an impact history storage means included in the control means and the second storage means, and an impact history stored in the control means and the display device. It has history display means. When the acceleration level, which is the average value of the actually measured acceleration pattern, is equal to or higher than the acceleration level of the specific acceleration pattern stored in the first storage means, the second storage means stores the specific acceleration level. The accumulated number and the respective acceleration level at that time are stored, and the impact history display means displays the specific acceleration level, the accumulated number and the respective acceleration level on the display device.

With such a configuration, since the impact history is recorded and displayed, it is possible to predict the life and to find the cause of the failure. In addition, it is expected that the user will be given an influence such as giving a reflection on the method of use. The acceleration level of the average value of the acceleration pattern is
This is the average value over time during which the acceleration pattern is applied.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of the most basic configuration in the present invention. The acceleration data detected by the acceleration detecting means 1 is analyzed by the acceleration analyzing means 35 and output as an actually measured acceleration pattern.
The determination unit 39 searches for the acceleration pattern having the characteristic closest to the actually measured acceleration pattern from the acceleration pattern group stored in the first storage unit 21 and associates the acceleration pattern with the actually measured acceleration pattern. In addition, even when there is no acceleration pattern corresponding to the perfect fit, when it is determined that the acceleration state is a dangerous state in response to the incoming call, it is as if a dangerous acceleration pattern that does not specifically exist is actually present. Can be output. The associated acceleration pattern and the operation mode stored in the second storage unit 22 are related by a correspondence table (not shown). The control unit 33 causes the mobile phone to execute the associated operation mode. An operation mode set in advance is written in the second storage means 22.

The TDMA processing unit 31 extracts data for one slot at a predetermined timing from the data input from the receiving device 27, cancels scrambling for eavesdropping prevention, and controls the control data from the data for one slot. The audio data is sent to the audio processing unit 32. Also, the TDMA processing unit 31 creates data for one slot by adding control data from the control unit 33 of the CPU to the audio data input from the audio processing unit 32, scrambles the data, and performs scrambling. The minute data is output to the transmission device 26 at a predetermined timing. The audio processing section 32 performs analog / digital conversion processing of audio data and encodes the audio analog data so that the data can be easily processed, or vice versa.

The acceleration sensor calculates [acceleration] = [force] / [mass]
It is preferable to use an element to be measured by utilizing the relationship of, for example, an element that measures the force applied to the mass by the piezoelectric element to obtain the acceleration can be used. However, another type of acceleration sensor may be used. Further, a servo-type accelerometer that moves a movable coil to restore the original position by a feedback current, a strain-gauge-type accelerometer that measures strain caused by acceleration by a strain gauge, or the like may be used.
The acceleration sensor 1 may detect a one-dimensional acceleration in a certain direction, or an acceleration sensor along each direction to detect accelerations in an X direction and a Y direction to detect accelerations in two directions. May be arranged, or a three-dimensional acceleration detecting device in which acceleration sensors are arranged in three directions of the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction may be used. 1
In the case of a three-dimensional acceleration sensor, it is arranged so as to detect acceleration in a direction that is convenient for shaking the mobile phone. The acceleration data obtained by this acceleration detection device is amplified by an amplifier (not shown) after eliminating noise through a filter (not shown), and is sent to an acceleration analyzer 35 after analog / digital conversion. Analysis is performed and analysis data is obtained. Each part of the CPU 30 stores an RO

In the recording / reproducing section 11, an EEPROM (Electric
It has an audio memory such as rically Erasable Programmable ROM). In the voice memory, for example, a voice message prompting the input of a message of the other party in the answering machine mode is stored. The voice memory has a memory area in which received voice data input from the voice processing unit 32 is recorded. In the recording / reproducing section 11, recording and reproduction processing are controlled based on a control signal from the control section 33. That is, the voice message data from the calling telephone input from the voice processing unit 32 is recorded in the voice memory based on the control signal, and the voice message data recorded in the voice memory is recorded based on the control signal. Output to the speaker 6. Further, the recording / reproducing unit 11 outputs a voice message stored in the voice memory to the voice processing unit based on the control signal.

Is a flowchart showing a procedure for automatically switching to an operation mode associated with an acceleration pattern when responding to an incoming call corresponds to an acceleration pattern determined to be dangerous. First, a series of signal exchanges will be described with reference to FIG. The acceleration data is taken by the acceleration sensor 1 and noise is eliminated by a filter (not shown).
After being amplified, it is sent to the acceleration analysis unit 35. Acceleration analysis unit 3
In step 5, for example, a cycle of a large acceleration pattern and its maximum acceleration, and a short-cycle vibration superimposed on the acceleration pattern are separated. The discriminating unit 39 sequentially reads out various types of acceleration patterns and speed patterns stored in the ROM 21 and compares them with the actually measured acceleration patterns. It is determined whether or not the short-period vibration is generated from the seam of the roadbed on the highway, or whether the vibration is caused by unevenness of the road. It is determined whether or not a specific driving state in which it is dangerous to respond to the incoming call is determined by determining whether the maximum acceleration of some acceleration patterns stored in the ROM 21 is exceeded, the cycle of the short-period vibration, or the maximum. Judgment is made comprehensively in consideration of acceleration and the like. Even if there is no acceleration pattern corresponding to perfect, when it is determined that there is danger, a dangerous acceleration pattern that does not specifically exist is output as if it were. Further, even when the acceleration pattern corresponding to the perfect fit does not exist, and when it is determined to be safe, the safety acceleration pattern is output as if there is such an acceleration pattern. If the corresponding acceleration pattern is an acceleration pattern that is determined to be dangerous to respond to the incoming call, the operation mode associated with the acceleration pattern is not the call mode.
The control means automatically implements the operation mode associated with the acceleration pattern. According to the flowchart of FIG. 4, any one of the answering machine mode, the transfer phone mode, and the drive mode is associated with such an operation mode and is executed. For example, if it is related to the drive mode, if it receives an acceleration pattern judged to be dangerous,
Drive mode will be taken. In drive mode, no ringtone sounds and, for example,
Can not respond because it is driving. I'm sorry, but I will record the message, so please speak the message after the beep. Is read from the recording / reproducing unit 11 and transmitted.

As described above, the acceleration sensor is built in,
When the driver, who is the user, is in a driving state in which it is determined that it is dangerous to respond to the incoming call, the operation mode automatically shifts to a previously associated operation mode. As a result, it is possible to finely determine a case where it is dangerous to answer the incoming call, and it is possible to automatically execute a related mode from among a plurality of modes other than the call mode.

By pressing and holding a specific key, the acceleration detection mode transition means is operated to set the acceleration detection mode. At this time, the acceleration detection mode confirmation display means is operated to confirm that the mode is the acceleration detection mode. Next, for example, the mobile phone is shaken for a predetermined number of times. From the acceleration pattern, the acceleration analysis unit 35 sends out, for example, how many times a mountain-shaped acceleration pattern having a time transition is applied within a predetermined time as analysis data. The discriminating unit 39 focuses on only the number of times from the analysis data and associates it with the number of times of the acceleration pattern stored in the ROM 21, for example, the mountain-shaped acceleration pattern, and determines which acceleration pattern corresponds to the acceleration pattern. . In FIG. 5, the correspondence between the actually measured acceleration pattern and the acceleration pattern and the reading of the association by the correspondence table are omitted. FIG.

The determination unit 39 determines which acceleration pattern stored in the ROM corresponds to the actually measured acceleration pattern. That is, the search proceeds while the determination unit 39 associates the acceleration pattern with the acceleration pattern stored in the ROM. As a result, when the actually measured acceleration pattern corresponds to the acceleration pattern B, the correspondence to the acceleration pattern B is made, and then the operation mode associated with the correspondence table or the like stored in the RAM is automatically changed. Execute.
The flowchart in FIG. 6 shows a case where execution is searched for based on the acceleration pattern.

(Embodiment 4: Storage and display of impact history)
For example, when an impact such as dropping from a height on a concrete road is applied, or when the impact is repeated, the mobile phone may be broken. If it is possible to record and display a history that an acceleration level equal to or higher than a certain limit acceleration corresponding to such an impact has been applied, it is useful for life prediction and analysis of the cause of failure. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a procedure for storing and displaying the cumulative number of times an acceleration level equal to or higher than the limit acceleration has been received and the limit acceleration. The limit acceleration is stored in the ROM. On the other hand, the cumulative frequency and each acceleration level equal to or higher than the limit acceleration are written into the RAM by the shock history storage means, and displayed on the LCD by the shock history display means.
