り、充電器等の構造が複雑になる。A portable terminal usually has a rechargeable battery, and can be charged by connecting the portable terminal to a charger. When the incoming call notification means of the mobile terminal is set to the silent incoming call notification means and charged, the mobile terminal notifies the user of the incoming call because the mobile terminal is not carried by the user and is installed in the charger. Can not do. Therefore, there is a problem that the user does not notice the incoming call. Also,
The portable terminal vibrates when it receives an incoming call because it is set as a silent incoming call notification means by vibration. The contact of the portable terminal with the charger of the portable terminal vibrates due to the vibration of the portable terminal, which affects the charging operation, for example, the contact state of the contact comes off or touches, and the charging operation becomes unstable. There are also problems. For this reason, there is a method of not operating the incoming call notifying means by vibration during charging. In this case, however, the user is not notified even if the incoming call is received, so that there is a problem that the incoming call cannot be recognized. There is also a method of fixing the portable terminal in order to keep the contact state stable, but in this case, a fixing structure is required, and the structure of the charger and the like becomes complicated.

通知しなくても本発明の効果は変わらない。First, when the user starts a charging operation such as connecting the portable terminal to a charger, the charging operation detector 112 detects that the portable terminal is being charged (S1 in FIG. 2).
The charging operation may be detected by measuring the voltage of a dedicated charging terminal or by constantly monitoring the battery voltage. However, any method may be used to detect the charging operation. Next, the setting of the incoming call notification means of the mobile terminal is checked. That is, it is determined whether or not the incoming call notification means by vibration is set (S2 in FIG. 2). If the incoming call notification means by vibration is set, the current setting of the incoming call notification means (set to A) is stored in the storage unit 108 (S3 in FIG. 2). The reason for storing the current setting of the incoming call notification means in the storage unit 108 is that when the state of the portable terminal ends the charging mode and returns to the normal mode, the user returns to the incoming call notification means originally set in the normal mode. It is necessary for this. Next, the setting is automatically changed to incoming notification means other than vibration using the incoming notification changing means 117 (S4 in FIG. 2). The changed incoming call notifying means is, for example, an incoming call notifying means that can stably maintain a charging operation such as music, voice, or light emission signal of light.
In addition, the user may previously select the incoming call notification means during charging, and the setting may be automatically changed when the charging operation is started, or the mobile terminal may change randomly. At this time, the user is notified that the incoming call notification means other than vibration has been set (S5 in FIG. 2). The new setting is referred to as setting B. This is done in order to prevent the user from noticing even if an incoming call is notified other than by vibration if the user forgets or does not notice that the setting has been changed. This is an informing unit that can stably maintain a charging operation such as music, voice, and light emission signal of light. Further, the effect of the present invention does not change even if the user is not notified that the incoming call notification means other than the vibration is set.

る。If there is an incoming call in this state, the incoming call is notified by means of incoming call notification means other than the newly set vibration.
The charging operation detecting means detects that charging is completed, such as when the user disconnects the charger from the mobile terminal.
(S6 in FIG. 2), it is determined whether the incoming notification means during the charging operation has been changed (S7 in FIG. 2). If the incoming notification means has been changed during the charging operation, that is, the setting is made during the charging operation. In the case of B, it returns to the setting (setting A) of the incoming call notification means in the normal mode before charging (S8 in FIG. 2), and shifts to the normal mode.

【発明の効果】以上のように、充電中は振動以外の着信

さらに、うっかり振動による着信報知手段に設定したま
ま、充電しても、音楽、音声、光等の振動以外の着信報
知手段に変更して着信を報知するので、使用者が着信を
確認できなくなる可能性が低くなる。As described above, during charging, notification is made by the incoming call notification means other than vibration, so that the contact between the portable terminal and the charger does not vibrate, and the charging operation is stabilized.
Furthermore, even if the battery is charged while inadvertently setting the incoming call alerting means, it changes to an incoming call alerting means other than vibration such as music, voice, light, etc. and notifies the incoming call, so the user may not be able to confirm the incoming call Is less effective.
