DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a receiver, and more particularly, to a receiver capable of setting a plurality of types of calling methods at the time of an incoming call.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, customer demands for telephones have been diversified and advanced, and telephones having various functions have been developed and commercialized. For example, there is a manner mode function as one of the incoming call control functions put to practical use in communication devices such as mobile phones.

[0003] This is a function of switching a normal ring tone to vibration with a vibrator or a low volume electronic sound, or automatically answering by an answering machine without ringing the ring tone.

However, in the conventional manner mode function,
The person receiving the call may not notice the emergency call,
Alternatively, an automatic response may be made to an emergency incoming call, which may cause inconvenience for both the calling side and the called side.

In order to solve such inconveniences, as a conventional technique, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 5-292177, a telephone number of a specific party is stored, and a telephone number of a call destination is stored. When the phone number matches the phone number, the manner mode is canceled to generate a normal ring tone.

[0006]

However, according to the above-mentioned prior art, if the telephone number of the call destination and the stored telephone number match, the request from the calling side becomes urgent. Otherwise, a normal ringtone will be generated. As described above, in the related art, since the restriction is simply released on the condition of only the calling party, there is a problem that the original necessity of the incoming call restriction function is obstructed.

On the other hand, in the conventional incoming call restriction function, what kind of incoming call state is determined only by the setting of the receiving side. For this reason, there has been a problem that the flexibility and serviceability of the system are lacking because the intention of the transmitting side is not considered at all.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a receiver which performs incoming call restriction control including the intention of a calling side to improve serviceability. .

[0009]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, identification information of a transmission source is stored in a receiver as shown in FIG. When the signal received at the time of the incoming call includes the identification information of the transmission source stored in the storage unit 11 and the information on the setting of the calling method, the storage unit 11 uses a calling method determined by the information on the setting of the calling method. And a control unit 10 that controls to make a call.

Here, the storage unit 11 stores the identification information of the transmission source. The control unit 10 outputs the signal
When the identification information of the transmission source stored in the storage unit 11 and the information related to the setting of the calling method are included, control is performed such that the calling is performed by the calling method determined by the information related to the setting of the calling method.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an example of a receiver according to the present invention. Note that a case where a mobile phone is used as an example of the receiver is shown. Of course, the present invention is not limited to a mobile phone, and can be applied to a fixed telephone and other receivers.

In FIG. 1, an antenna 1 receives a signal from a transmission source via a radio base station, and a signal received via the antenna 1 is transmitted from a radio signal to a base station by a radio transmission / reception unit 2. The signal is converted into a band signal and supplied to the control unit 10, the audio codec unit 3, and the like.

The audio codec section 3 decodes an audio-encoded signal of the baseband signal and supplies the decoded signal to the speaker 5a, from which audio and the like are output. On the other hand, the microphone 6 converts the input voice or the like into an electric signal, and supplies the electrical signal to the voice codec unit 3.
Performs voice coding, and the coded signal is converted into a radio signal in the radio transmission / reception unit 2, and then transmitted from the antenna 1 to a receiver serving as a communication partner via the radio base station.

The display unit 8 displays the received character data, image data, and the like as characters or images.
An area for displaying a mark indicating the type of the set calling method, and is configured by a liquid crystal display or the like.

The operation unit 7 is composed of numeric keys and other function keys, and selects and sets the type of calling method by a predetermined key operation, and inputs information desired by the transmission source by key operation or the like. It is for doing.

The storage unit 11 stores the identification information of the transmission source (for example, information for specifying the transmission source such as the telephone number, device ID, and e-mail address of the transmission source. The identification information refers to the information. ) Is stored. The identification information is stored in the storage unit 11 by a predetermined operation of the operation unit, for example.

The control unit 10 receives the identification information of the transmission source and the information on the setting of the calling method obtained via the antenna 1, the radio transmitting / receiving unit 2 and the like (for example, the calling desired by the sender as the calling method on the receiving terminal side). Type information of the calling method (for example, calling by ringing, calling by vibration, answering machine mode, etc.) or simply requesting a change in the calling method for which the calling method is currently set is acquired, and the type of calling method is obtained. Depending on the information,
Controls the calling method.

That is, a vibrator unit 9 for vibrating the mobile phone by rotation of the motor, a speaker 5b for outputting a ringing tone, and recording of voice guidance content for transmitting to a receiver at the time of an incoming call. An answering machine 4 comprising a memory for recording voice information and the like transmitted in accordance with the voice guidance, an LED (not shown) for notifying an incoming call by blinking light, etc. are controlled and set. According to the calling method used, either one of these is operated or a combination thereof is operated to call the user of the mobile phone.

As examples of the plurality of types of calling methods, a calling method by ringing a call on, a calling method by vibration, a blinking light, a voice calling, an answering machine mode, and the like have been described, but are not limited thereto. Instead, any operation method of the mobile phone for calling the user of the mobile phone can be adopted.

The setting may not be changed by the user himself, or may be changed by a predetermined operation (for example, a key operation) of the operation unit by the user. Note that the mobile phone can use various receiving methods such as an analog method, a digital method, FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA.

Next, processing from transmission to calling by the sender will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing processing from transmission to calling by the sender. (S1) The sender operates or operates the operation unit to input or select information for specifying the calling method (a memory is provided in advance in the mobile phone, and information for specifying the calling method is stored, and the information is stored and stored. (For example, displaying a ringing tone, a vibrator, etc.) on the display to allow the user to make a selection.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that a normal ringing sound is input as a calling method. (S2) Then, a transmission partner is selected (for example, selection from memory dial using a memory dial function, or input of a telephone number (including abbreviated dialing, etc.) of the transmission partner) together with information for specifying a calling method. , Including the identification information of the transmission source, to the other party's mobile phone via the base station, exchange, or the like.

The input or selection of the information for designating the calling method is not limited to such a procedure, and may be performed after the selection of the transmission destination, or may be performed at the time of the incoming call of the destination mobile phone for the next transmission. If the control of the calling method is performed, the transmission of the call including the identification information of the transmission source or the like causes the other party's mobile phone to shift to the incoming call processing, and the calling by the calling method set in the other party's mobile phone is started. After that, information specifying the calling method may be input or selected and transmitted. That is,
Before setting the calling method of the other party's mobile phone to the one designated by the user, information about the setting of the calling method may be transmitted.

Now, processing on the receiving side will be described. Here, it is assumed that a calling method by vibration is set in advance as a calling method. (S3) The control unit 10 of the mobile phone on the receiving side receives the incoming signal via the antenna, the wireless transmitting / receiving unit 2 and the like as described above, and identifies the transmission source, and information on the setting of the calling method (this time, the transmission Get the information (because the source is sending information (a call with a normal ringing tone)). (S4) The control unit 10 transmits the identification information of the transmission source stored in the storage unit 11 in advance by operating the operation unit or the like to S3.
It is determined whether or not the identification information of the transmission source obtained in step 4 matches and information on the setting of the calling method is included. (S5) If it is determined that the calling method is included, the current incoming call is not determined by the vibration caused by the activation of the vibrator unit for which the calling method has been set, but is determined by the information on the setting of the calling method transmitted from the transmission source. (In this example, information specifying the call by the normal ringing tone is transmitted from the transmission source). On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not included, the control unit makes a call according to a preset calling method.

The term "determined by the information on the setting of the calling method" means that if information specifying the calling method is transmitted from the transmission source, the specified calling method or information requesting a change in the calling method is transmitted from the transmission source. If so, it means that the calling method is selected using information specifying the calling method from the transmission source, such as one of the calling methods different from the preset calling method.

Note that at least before changing the calling method by the set vibration to the calling by the normal ringing sound activated by the speaker, the control unit displays on the display a mark or a character indicating that the calling by the normal ringing sound is performed. For example, if you display a character such as "ringing call" or a character to change the calling method (for example, "character changed" or "changing calling method") The user of the side mobile phone can recognize that the ringing tone has been changed and what kind of calling method is used after the change of the calling method.

Thereafter, the user of the receiving-side mobile phone who notices the call by the normal ringing tone performs a call start operation or the like, and the call starts. In the above-described embodiment, when the signal received at the time of the incoming call includes the identification information of the transmission source and the information on the setting of the calling method, the control for setting the calling method for the incoming call to the calling method determined by the information on the setting of the calling method is performed. However, the control may be performed at the time of the next incoming call or at the time of the next incoming call.

In addition, even during the current incoming call, while a call is being made according to a preset calling method, a control can be performed so that the calling method is determined by information relating to the setting of the calling method. In other words, when the control unit receives the information on the setting of the calling method for the calling method while the calling by the preset calling method is being performed, the control unit executes the calling method while the calling by the preset calling method is performed. Control is performed so that the calling method is determined by the information related to the setting of.

In the above-described embodiment, (first
When the signal received at the time of the incoming call includes the identification information of the transmission source and the information on the setting of the calling method, the
), The control is performed so that the calling method for the incoming call is determined by the information on the setting of the calling method. From the next time (at the Nth (second) incoming call from this incoming call, a signal including the same identification information is transmitted). Upon receiving, for the first time, the calling method in the (second) incoming
The calling method can be determined by the information regarding the setting of the calling method included in the signal received at the time of the incoming call.

The control for setting the calling method determined by the information regarding the setting of the calling method included in the signal received at the time of the (first) incoming call is performed by setting the (second) incoming call for a predetermined time after the (first) incoming call. This can be performed only when the call is received within (for example, 3 minutes).

Further, the information on the setting of the calling method includes information on what conditions are satisfied when a call to be controlled by the calling method determined by the information on the setting of the calling method (hereinafter, also referred to as designated calling control) should be performed. Can be.

That is, the information on the setting of the calling method and the information on the setting of the calling method at the time of an incoming call that satisfies any conditions are required to perform the specified calling control for all the incoming calls after the next time regardless of the transmission source. Information, or information requesting that specified call control be performed for all incoming calls from the next mobile phone only, or information requesting that specified call control be performed for incoming calls within a specified time (specified time) (Including the section), including (or excluding) the current transmission, information requesting that the designated call control be performed for the Nth incoming call, including (or excluding) the current transmission.
Until there is an incoming call, information requesting to perform the designated call control (from the (N + 1) th time onward, it is not required to perform the designated call control) may be included, or information based on a combination thereof.
