At the time of an incoming call, a signal relating to the outgoing telephone number notification or the non-number notification is passed from the signal input unit S1 to the signal processing unit S2 as shown in FIG.

The signal passed from the signal input unit S1 to the signal processing unit S2 determines whether or not the calling telephone number is notified or the non-number is notified in step 1 shown in FIG. That is, the signal processing unit S
At 2, it is determined whether or not there is a calling telephone number. When it is determined that there is an outgoing telephone number (outgoing telephone number notification), s shown in FIG.
Proceed to step2. In step 2, the signal processing unit S2 illustrated in FIG. 2 uses the dial number T12 stored in the storage unit S4 based on the storage content of the storage unit S4 (see FIG. 3).
And the outgoing telephone number related to the outgoing telephone number notification are collated or searched to see if they match. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage unit S4 stores a dial number T12 corresponding to the memory number T11 and an LED designation color T13 in the set number incoming T1 mode. As a result of the collation or search, it is determined in step 3 whether there is a match. If it is determined that there is a match, the signal processing unit S2 sets the LED designation color corresponding to the dial number matched in step 4, based on the storage content of the storage unit S4. When the LED designation color is set, the setting content of the LED designation color is passed to the operation output unit S5 shown in FIG.
In FIG. 5, "red" corresponding to the LED designated color set through any one of the routes (i) to (vii) in FIG.
The LEDs of “purple”, “blue”, “light blue”, “yellow”, “white”, or “rainbow (7 colors)” are turned on or flashed, and finally the processing is ended.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 3 that there is no dial number that matches the outgoing telephone number, FIG.
The signal processing unit S2 shown in FIG. 7 is based on the storage content of the storage unit S4,
Set the D designated color (green). When the setting of the LED designated color is performed, the setting content of the LED designated color is passed to the operation output unit S5 shown in FIG. 2, and the operation output unit S5 lights or blinks the LED corresponding to the designated color set in step 5. And finally exit.

Similarly, when it is determined in step 1 that there is no outgoing telephone number (non-number notification), the signal processing unit S2 shown in FIG. 2 is set to the default incoming call (T3 in FIG. 3) in step 7. Set the LED specified color. When the setting of the LED designated color is performed, the setting content of the LED designated color is passed to the operation output unit S5 shown in FIG. 2, and the operation output unit S5 lights or blinks the LED corresponding to the designated color set in step 5. And finally exit.

For example, as shown in FIG.
When both the LED designation color in the case of (1) and the LED designation color in the case of the default incoming call T3 are set to “green”, “blinking green” is specified except for the incoming call of the setting number other than green. It becomes the specification.

Next, another embodiment will be described. FIG.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing functions of a mobile phone according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In the case of this embodiment, the contents within the broken line in FIG. 3 are also added. That is, the set number incoming T1
Then, an LED light emission pattern T14 shown in the broken line is added. Also, the unset number incoming call T2 and default incoming call T3
, New LED light emission patterns T22 and T32 are newly added. Further, it is assumed that a public telephone incoming call T4 and a user rejected incoming call T5 are newly created and have an LED designated color T41, an LED light emitting pattern T42, an LED designated color T51, and an LED light emitting pattern T52. LED light emission pattern T
In 14, T22, T32, T42, and T52, lighting or blinking of the LED can be set.

When an incoming call is received, the telephone number determined to exist in step 11 (notification of telephone number) is stored in the storage unit S4 based on the contents stored in the storage unit S4. Search or collate for a match with the number. Subsequently, it is determined in step 13 whether there is a match.

If it is determined in step 13 that there is a matching dial number, the signal processing unit S2 proceeds to step 14
Setting number stored in the storage unit S4 in FIG.
Set the LED designation color corresponding to the matched dial number in (Ref.). Then, the signal processing unit S2 performs step2
In step 1, the designated processing content corresponding to the matched dial number in the incoming set number (see FIG. 3) stored in the storage unit S4 is set. When the setting of the LED designation color and the designation processing content is performed, the setting content is passed to the operation output unit S5, and thereafter, the operation output unit S5 turns on or blinks the LED in step 15, and then proceeds to step 2
In step 6, the designated processing content is executed, and the processing is finally ended.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 13 that there is no matching dial number, the signal processing unit S2 proceeds to step
At p16, the LED designation color designated for the unset number incoming call (see FIG. 3) stored in the storage unit S4 shown in FIG. 2 is set in the operation output unit S5. Then, the signal processing unit S2 performs step 22 based on the storage content of the storage unit S4.
In the step (3), the contents of the specified process are set in the operation output unit S5. When the setting of the LED designation color and the designation processing content is performed, the setting content is passed to the operation output unit S5. Thereafter, the operation output unit S5 turns on or blinks the LED in step 15, and subsequently performs the designation processing in step 26. Execute the contents and finally end.

In addition, when an incoming call is received, it is determined in step 11 that there is no outgoing telephone number (non-number notification).
The content of the non-number notification is determined in STEP18.

This non-number notification is roughly classified into three types of notifications: "public telephone", "user rejected", and "others".
This is because the outgoing telephone number service can identify at least these three types even with non-number notification.

The signal processing unit S2 identifies the contents of the non-number notification in step 18, and based on the respective identification results, in step 17, step 19, or step 20, the default incoming call stored in the storage unit S4 shown in FIG. Incoming public telephone call or incoming call rejected by user (see Fig. 3)
Is set in the operation output unit S5. Then, the signal processing unit S2 includes the storage unit S
In step 23, step 24, or step 25, the specified processing content is stored in the operation output unit S
Set to 5. When the setting of the LED designation color and the designation processing content is performed, the setting content is passed to the operation output unit S5. Thereafter, the operation output unit S5 turns on or blinks the LED in step 15, and subsequently performs the designation processing in step 26. Execute the contents and finally end.

When the non-number notification is "public telephone notification", the signal processing unit S2 performs step 19 and step 24.
To set the designated color and designated process of the LED for incoming public telephone. In the case of "user rejection notification", the signal processing unit S2
Sets the designated color and designated process of the user rejection incoming LED in the operation output unit S5 in steps 20 and 25.
In the case of a notification other than the above-mentioned reason, the signal processing unit S2
LE for default in step17 and step23
The designated color of D and the designated process are set in the operation output unit S5.

As for the state of the LED, for example, it can be lit in red when the incoming call is a public telephone T4, turned on in purple when the incoming call is rejected by the user T5, and blinked in green when the incoming call is the default incoming call T3.

By performing such control, it is not possible to receive a call from a public telephone (it is not desirable to receive a call).
In such a case, for example, it is possible to automatically execute blinking of a red LED, or blinking of a purple LED for a party who does not notify the calling telephone number, and from the start to the end of the processing. It can be done quickly.

In this embodiment, in addition to the portable telephone,
It can be applied to all information terminals such as HS.

[0036]

The first effect is that, according to the present invention, it is possible to give the receiving side the priority of answering the telephone. The reason is that the color of the LED corresponding to the situation of the caller can be selected at the time of an incoming call. This allows you to visually check incoming calls without ringing,
The mobile phone can be used without disturbing the surroundings.

The second effect is that, among non-number notices, only a call from a public telephone is received, a call from a person not registered in the memory dial is rejected, or a caller who refuses the notification of the calling telephone number is sent from the other party. Can be rejected.
