[0010]

However, in the conventional data communication mobile station, the reception field strength information (RSSI: Receive) obtained by the portable telephone during the CDPD mode setting is set.
Since the measurement data such as the ed Signal Strength Indicator) is not displayed on the personal computer, the operator needs to search for a place with good radio wave reception conditions, for example.
The personal computer must be operated while viewing the RSSI measurement data displayed on the display of the mobile phone. A CSCD in which a mobile phone executes control relating to wireless connection in place of a personal computer
When the (circuit switched cellular data) mode is set, the status information of the personal computer is not displayed on the mobile phone at all, so the operator operates the mobile phone for wireless connection while looking at the display section of the personal computer. Must be done.

That is, in a conventional data communication mobile station,
Various types of control information generated by the mobile phone and the personal computer are simply displayed on the mobile phone or the personal computer at the source. For this reason, even when the operator performs communication in the CDPD mode or performs wireless connection in the CSCD mode, the operator must perform operations while watching both the mobile phone and the display unit of the personal computer. Was bad.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal device which can easily receive and transmit commands between a mobile phone and a data terminal device. And its mobile phone and data terminal device.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a portable telephone capable of reliably turning off the power of a mobile phone without causing a malfunction in the mobile data communication operation when a power-off operation is performed on the mobile phone during mobile data communication. To provide a telephone.

A third object is that when the data terminal device transfers a control signal to the mobile phone to control the operation state of the mobile phone, the data terminal device can perform control requiring immediacy without providing many signal lines at a high speed. To provide a mobile communication terminal device and a data terminal device thereof.

A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal device that achieves both high speed mobile data communication control and low power consumption.

[0016]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, when a request command command relating to mobile data communication is sent from a data terminal device to a mobile phone, the mobile phone is connected to the mobile terminal. The request command command is returned to the data terminal device as it is as a command indicating the reception confirmation, and after transmitting the request command command to the mobile phone, the data terminal device returns the same request command command as the transmission request command command from the mobile phone. It is determined whether or not a transmission request command command has been received in the mobile phone based on the determination result.

This makes it possible to easily confirm the receipt of the command as compared with the case where a dedicated reception confirmation command is generated and returned, thereby enabling the command transmission / reception control in the mobile phone and the data terminal device. The procedure can be simplified.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a data terminal connected to a data terminal having a predetermined communication control function necessary for performing mobile data communication. And transmits it to the base station via the radio channel, receives the radio carrier signal arriving from the base station via the radio channel, demodulates the received signal into received data, and transfers the received data to the data terminal device. In a mobile phone equipped with a function, a power-off request is sent to the data terminal device when an operation for turning off the power of the mobile phone is performed in a state where the mode for mobile data communication is set. Then, after the power-off request is sent, when the power-off instruction is returned from the data terminal device, the power of the mobile phone is shifted to the off state, while the power is turned on. When shown is returned is that so as to hold the power of the portable telephone in the ON state.

With such a mobile phone, even if a power-off operation is performed on the mobile phone during the mobile data communication operation, an inquiry (power-off request) is made from the mobile phone to the data terminal device, and this inquiry is made. The power of the mobile phone is turned off when a permission (power-off instruction) is sent from the data terminal device, and the operation state of the mobile phone is held when the power-on instruction is sent. Therefore, for example, the mobile phone can be turned off after the data transmission termination procedure and the wireless channel release procedure are securely terminated, thereby reducing adverse effects on the data transmission operation and the wireless connection operation. can do.

If the power-off instruction or the power-on instruction is not returned within a predetermined time after the power-off request has been sent to the data terminal device, the power of the portable telephone may be shifted to the off state. . In this way, even if the power off instruction is not returned from the data terminal device to the mobile phone due to, for example, a runaway of the CPU of the data terminal device or a malfunction of the interface, the mobile phone can be surely shifted to the power off state. Thus, wasteful power consumption of the mobile phone can be reduced, and the life of the battery can be extended.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in a state where a communication mode in which a data terminal device independently executes connection control between a mobile phone and a base station is set, A control signal for controlling a predetermined operation state of the mobile phone is directly transferred from the data terminal device to the mobile phone via a dedicated control signal line, and other control signals are transmitted via a signal transmission path having a bus configuration. It is intended to be transferred.

Therefore, for operation control requiring immediacy, for example, when the transmission power amplifier of a mobile phone is set to the ON state by control of the data terminal device, the control signal is transmitted via a dedicated signal line. High-speed control is possible because of the
D data transmission efficiency can be improved.

By the way, when a control signal for setting the transmission power amplifier to the ON state is transmitted through the bus, the transmission of the control signal from the personal computer PC to the transmission power amplifier until the transmission power amplifier is turned ON. Since an operation delay occurs, the personal computer PC needs to send the CDPD data transmission start timing at least for a time corresponding to the operation delay. For this reason, CD
The time required for transmitting the PD data is extra, and the communication cost is increased accordingly.

A dedicated signal line is not provided for all control data and control signals. For each control signal related to operation control that does not require much immediacy, a signal transmission line having a bus structure is commonly used. And transferred. For this reason, the number of signal lines can be greatly reduced as compared with the case where a dedicated signal line is provided for each control signal, and the device can be downsized.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a transfer speed of control data between a data terminal device and a portable telephone is set to a predetermined value when a mobile data communication execution mode is set. In the state where the first speed is set and the standby mode of the mobile data communication is set, the second speed is set lower than the first speed.

According to the present invention, the power consumption can be reduced and the battery life can be extended in the CDPD standby mode, while control for the CDPD data transmission can be performed at a high speed.

FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram showing the configuration of the cellular phone HHP among the units described above in more detail. In the figure, first, in the state where the AMPS mode is set, the transmission voice signal input from the microphone 22 is input to the transmission signal processing unit 141 via the switch 131, and is passed through the band pass filter. After that, the signal is compressed by the compressor and the modulated signal (MO

Note that the transmission local oscillation signal is generated by a synthesizer provided in the modulation circuit 111, that is, a PLL circuit 122 and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) 124 which are integrated into an IC.

On the other hand, a radio frequency signal arriving from a base station in the AMPS mode is received by the antenna 11 and then sequentially input to the mixers 117 and 118 through the reception band-pass filter 116. Then, the signal is sequentially mixed with the first reception local oscillation signal generated from the VCO 124 and the second reception local oscillation signal generated from the fixed oscillator 119, and is frequency-converted into a second intermediate frequency signal. Intermediate frequency circuit (IFIC) 12 integrated into an IC

4 and stored.

Next, in the state where the CDPD mode is set, the CDPD transmission data transmitted from the personal computer PC (not shown) is transmitted to the modem unit MU.
To the baseband circuit 13 of the mobile phone HHP. Then, the CDPD transmission data is input to the signal synthesizing circuit 133 via the switch 132 in the baseband circuit 13, where it is synthesized with another control DTMF tone and the like, and then supplied to the modulation circuit 111. In the modulation circuit 111, analog modulation of the carrier signal is performed by the CDPD data as in the case of the AMPS mode, and the modulated wave signal is frequency-converted to a radio channel frequency by the mixer 112 and then transmitted from the antenna 11 to the base station.

The CDPD reception data output from the switch 20 is
After being amplified by the transfer amplifier 28 via the terminal 35, the terminal 2
9 to the modem unit MU. Then, the data is further transferred from the modem unit MU to the personal computer PC.

The intermediate frequency circuit 120 is provided with a reception electric field intensity detector. In this receiving electric field strength detector,

In the CDPD mode, the modem
Between the unit MU and the mobile phone HHP, various control signals are exchanged in addition to the CDPD data.
The control signal includes, for example, a power on / off control signal for turning on / off the transmission power amplifier 113 of the mobile phone HHP, and control data necessary for connection control and communication control such as channel control data.

Among them, a control signal such as a power on / off control signal that requires immediacy of signal transfer is a dedicated signal provided between the modem unit MU and a circuit to be controlled in the cellular phone HHP. Is directly transferred to the control target circuit through the signal line of FIG. For example, in the case of a power on / off control signal, the mobile phone HHP is connected via a signal line PA-ON.
The power is directly transferred to the power supply circuit (PWR-REG) 125 inside.

On the other hand, control data that does not require much immediacy, such as status display data, is temporarily transferred from the modem unit MU to the control circuit 16 of the portable telephone HHP via the signal line TX-DATA. Is transferred to the baseband circuit 13 via the data bus S-DATA. The baseband circuit 13 performs a process of converting the transmission control data into, for example, a signal form required for wireless transmission, and the control data after the processing is transmitted to a wireless circuit unit. This transfer path is the same for the reception control data, and is transferred via the reverse path to the transmission control data.

However, regardless of whether the control signal or the control data is transferred, signal level conversion is required between the modem unit MU and the portable telephone HHP. This is because the modem unit MU uses a 5V type battery voltage, while the mobile phone HHP
This is because a battery voltage of 4V type is used.

Therefore, in this embodiment, a signal level conversion circuit is provided on the portable telephone HHP side for each signal line to perform level conversion of control signals and control data. For example,
Signal lines TX-DATA and RX for transferring control data
A signal level conversion circuit as shown in FIG. 3 is used for -DATA, and a signal level conversion circuit as shown in FIG. 4 is used for a signal line PA-ON for transferring a power on / off control signal.

In FIG. 4, the OR gate OR is connected to the signal line P
A power-on / off control signal coming from the modem unit MU via the A-ON and a transmission control signal TXON / TXON generated by the baseband circuit 13 in the mobile phone HHP.
This is a logical sum of "OFF" and output. FIG.
Shows a configuration of a signal level conversion circuit for the signal line MODEM DET for detecting the presence or absence of connection of the modem unit MU.

Next, the operation of the apparatus configured as described above will be described. 6 to 8 are flowcharts showing operation procedures and operation contents of the mobile phone HHP, and FIGS.
1 is a sequence diagram showing transmission and reception of signals between the mobile phone HHP, the modem unit MU, and the personal computer PC.

When the user turns on the power switch of the cellular phone HHP, the cellular phone HHP first initializes the state of each circuit in the cellular phone HHP in step 3a as shown in FIG. 6, and then selects a control channel in step 3b. After the control channel is set in the synthesizer, a standby state is set. That is, a standby state (step 3c) in the AMPS mode is established. At this time, the mobile phone HHP
The control data transfer rate between the PC and the personal computer PC is set to a low speed (9.6 kbps).

In this state, when an incoming call signal arrives from a base station (not shown) via the control channel, the portable telephone HHP performs an incoming call response process according to a predetermined procedure in the AMPS mode. Then, if the user responds to the incoming call notification by operating the function key, the AMPS is subsequently communicated with the caller.
Calls can be made in different modes. When the user operates the dial key after operating the dial key of the mobile phone HHP, the dialing process is performed according to a predetermined procedure in the AMPS mode. Then, if the user of the call partner answers this call, a call in the AMPS mode with the user of the call partner can be performed thereafter.

Now, in the above standby state, when the user
Personal computer PC for DPD communication
It is assumed that a CDPD command has been input through the keyboard 44 of the. Then, the microprocessor 41 of the personal computer PC notifies the control circuit 16 of the portable telephone HHP of the CDPD request command via the control processor 32 of the modem unit MU and the control serial interface 312.

When the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP recognizes the arrival of the CDPD request command in step 3d, the control circuit 16 sends the CDPD request command as it is to the personal computer PC as a CDPD request acknowledgment command (ACK) as shown in FIG. At the same time, the process returns to step 3e, where the CDPD mode is set, and the circuit used only in the AMPS mode is deactivated. In the setting of the CDPD mode, a process of setting the modem to the operating state and changing the control data transfer rate with the personal computer PC to high speed (76.8 kbps) is performed.

Therefore, the transfer of control data between the modem unit MU and the portable telephone HHP is performed at a high speed thereafter, so that control such as channel search described later can be performed in a short time. The circuit for setting the non-operation state includes, for example, the key input unit 18, the microphone 22, the speaker 23, and the baseband circuit 13.
There are signal processing units 141 and 142 inside. The device is now in CDPD mode.

In the CDPD mode, the personal computer PC executes control for searching for a CDPD channel. That is, the personal computer PC sends status data "SERCHING" indicating that the mode has shifted to the CDPD channel search mode to the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP via the modem unit MU. Then, the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP returns the status data received to the personal computer PC as it is as a reception acknowledgment ACK, and decodes the status data to L
The data is output to the CD drive circuit 19, thereby displaying “SERCHING” on the LCD 20. Therefore, the user can confirm the operation mode of the apparatus by looking at the LCD 20 of the mobile phone HHP.

Subsequently, the personal computer PC
One of a plurality of communication channels provided in advance is selected, and the channel data is transmitted to the modem unit MU.
To the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP via Then, the cellular phone HHP returns the channel data as it is as the channel data reception acknowledgment ACK, designates a reception channel to the synthesizer of the modulation circuit 111, measures the reception field strength information of this communication channel, and transmits the measurement data to the personal computer.・ Send to the computer PC. The personal computer PC determines the use state of the specified channel from the measured data, and if one is in use, selects another call channel and sends the channel data to the mobile phone HHP. Thereafter, similarly, the personal computer PC repeats the channel search control until a usable communication channel is found.

When a usable communication channel is found, the personal computer PC sends status data "Blank" to the portable telephone H as shown in FIG.
Send to HP. When receiving the status data “Blank”, the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP returns the status data to the personal computer PC as a reception confirmation ACK and causes the LCD 20 to display the status data “Blank”. Then, the personal computer PC sends control data for setting the transfer rate of the control data to a low speed to the mobile phone HHP. Upon receiving the control data, the mobile phone HHP changes and sets the data transfer rate with the personal computer PC to a low speed (9.6 kbps). Thus, the device shifts to the standby state in the CDPD mode.

Therefore, in the CDPD mode standby state, control data is transferred at a low speed between the portable telephone HHP and the personal computer PC, thereby reducing the power consumption of the portable telephone HHP. As a result, the battery life is extended.

The transfer rate of the control data includes:
9.6 kbps, 14.4 kbps, 1
9.2kbps, 38.4kbps, 57.6kbp
s, 76.8 kbps, and it is possible to select and set an appropriate rate from these. FIG.
4 shows the relationship between these control data transfer rates and control data codes for setting these rates.

By the way, during the CDPD channel search period and the CDPD standby period, the control circuit 16 of the portable telephone HHP periodically transfers the received electric field intensity display data (RSSI data) to the personal computer PC in step 3h. are doing. The transfer of the RSSI data takes, for example, 100 ms as shown in FIG.
This is performed by transmitting the RSSI data three times at intervals of 2.5 msec for each c.

When the above RSSI data arrives, the personal computer PC controls the display of the RSSI information as follows. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the procedure and contents.

That is, the personal computer PC
Receives the RSSI data at 2.5 msec intervals in step 10a. When it is confirmed in step 10b that the reception has been performed three times, the average value x of the three RSSI data is calculated in step 10c, and the level determination of the RSSI average value x is sequentially performed in steps 10d to 10g. The result of the determination is displayed on the LCD display 46 in steps 10h to 10m.

For example, first, in step 10d, the RSSI
It is determined whether the average value x is equal to or more than -106 dBm, and -10
If it is less than 6 dBm, the process proceeds to step 10h, where the RSSI display pattern is not turned on at all as shown in FIG. Subsequently, in step 10e, it is determined whether or not the RSSI average value x is equal to or more than -100 dBm.
If it is less than dBm, the process proceeds to step 10i, where one RSSI display pattern is turned on as shown in FIG.

Next, in step 10f, it is determined whether or not the RSSI average value x is equal to or greater than -94 dBm.
As shown in (c), two RSSI display patterns are turned on. Finally, in step 10g, it is determined whether or not the RSSI average value x is -88 dBm or more. If it is less than -88 dBm, the process proceeds to step 10k, where three RSSI display patterns are turned on as shown in FIG. Let
If it is 88 dBm or more, the process proceeds to step 10m, where all four RSSI display patterns are turned on as shown in FIG.

Therefore, even when the user is performing an operation for CDPD transmission on the personal computer PC, it is possible to determine whether or not the radio wave reception state of the portable telephone HHP is good without looking at the LCD 20 of the portable telephone HHP. It becomes possible.

The display pattern of the RSSI is, for example, as shown in FIG.
Is displayed by creating a window in the right corner of the LCD display 46.

On the other hand, during the CDPD channel search period and the CDPD standby period described above, the control circuit 16 of the portable telephone HHP periodically detects the remaining amount of the battery in the power supply circuit 21 and its detection data in step 3h. (BATT data). FIG.
9 is a flowchart showing the procedure and contents, FIG.
Is a timing chart showing the operation.

That is, the control circuit 1 of the cellular phone HHP
In step 13a, as shown in FIG.
The output voltage value Vcc of the battery is read every second, and the output voltage value Vcc is compared with different threshold values in steps 13b to 13e to determine the level.
Then, the display mode according to the determination result is changed to step 13
The determination is made in steps f to 13j, and this display form is converted into 3-bit status change report data in steps 13k to 13o, and the status change report data is transferred to the personal computer PC in step 13p.

For example, first, at step 13b, it is determined whether or not the output voltage value Vcc of the battery is 4.8 V or more. If the voltage is 4.8 V or more, it is determined that the battery is fully charged, and the display mode is set to Full display in step 13f. In step 13k, the full display is changed to 3-bit status change report data L7, L8, L9 = 1, 0,
Convert to 1. Then, the status change report data is sent to the personal computer PC in step 13p. Upon receiving the status change report data, the personal computer PC turns on the entire area of the battery remaining amount display pattern displayed on the LCD display 46 as shown in FIG. 17 as shown in FIG.

Subsequently, at step 13c, it is determined whether or not the output voltage value Vcc of the battery is equal to or higher than 4.6V.
If the voltage is equal to or more than 4.6 V, the display mode is set to 3/4 display in step 13g, and the 3/4 display is changed to 3-bit status change report data L7, L8, L in step 131.
Convert to 9 = 0,0,1. Then, the status change report data is sent to the personal computer PC in step 13p. Upon receiving the status change report data, the personal computer PC sets the LCD
The 残 量 of the battery remaining amount display pattern displayed on the display 46 is turned on as shown in FIG.

Similarly, in step 13d, it is determined whether or not the output voltage value Vcc of the battery is equal to or higher than 4.4V.
If the voltage is equal to or higher than 4.4 V, the display mode is set to 2/4 display in step 13h, and the 2/4 display is changed to the 3-bit status change report data L7, L8, L in step 13m.
9 = 1, 1, 0. Then, the status change report data is sent to the personal computer PC in step 13p. Upon receiving the status change report data, the personal computer PC sets the LCD
The 残 量 of the remaining battery level display pattern displayed on the display 46 is turned on as shown in FIG.

Finally, in step 13i, it is determined whether or not the output voltage value Vcc of the battery is equal to or higher than 4.2V. If the voltage is equal to or higher than 4.2 V, the display mode is set to 1/4 display in step 13i, and this 1 /
4 displays are changed to 3-bit status change report data L7, L
8, L9 = 0, 1, 0. Then, the status change report data is transmitted to the personal
Send to computer PC. Upon receiving the status change report data, the personal computer PC
One-fourth of the remaining battery level display pattern displayed on the LCD display 46 is turned on as shown in FIG.

The output voltage value Vcc of the battery is 4.2.
If the battery voltage is less than V,
In step 13j, the display mode is determined to be 0/4 display / blinking, and the status change report data L7, L8, L9 = 1, 0, 0 are sent to the personal computer PC in step 13p. Send out. Upon receiving the status change report data, the personal computer PC blinks only the outline of the battery remaining amount display pattern displayed on the LCD display 46 as shown in FIG.

Further, at the intermediate timing of the battery output voltage detection cycle (2 sec) shown in FIG.
When it is detected that the voltage has dropped to 2 V or less, a low voltage detection signal is interrupted and input to the control circuit 16 at this time. Then, the control circuit 16 proceeds to step 13 as shown in FIG.
j, the display mode is set to 0/4 display / blinking, and the status change report data L7, L8, L9 =
1,0,0 is sent to the personal computer PC in step 13p. For this reason, the outline of the battery remaining amount display pattern blinks on the LCD display 46 of the personal computer PC as shown in FIG.

Thus, in the CDPD mode, the remaining battery information of the portable telephone HHP is displayed on the LCD display of the personal computer PC. Therefore, even when the user performs the operation for CDPD communication with the personal computer PC, the user can always clearly know the remaining battery level of the mobile phone HHP.

FIG. 21 shows the battery voltage Vcc, its function and status change report data L7, L8, L
9 is displayed as a list. The other bits L0 to L6 of the status change report data are: L6: incoming call, L5: call disconnection, L4: system access failure, L
3: Successful connection, L2: Call abort, L1: Handoff start, L0: Handoff end, respectively
To notify the personal computer PC.

On the other hand, during the standby period in the CDPD mode, the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP monitors the power-off operation of the mobile phone HHP in step 4a as shown in FIG. It monitors the arrival of call commands. In this state, when a CDPD call command arrives from the personal computer PC via the modem unit MU, the portable telephone HHP
The control circuit 16 returns the received CDPD call command to the personal computer PC as a call command reception confirmation ACK as it is,
The control data transfer rate with the computer PC is changed to a high speed (76.8 kbps). When the above-mentioned call command reception confirmation ACK is received, the personal computer PC also increases the control data transfer rate (76.8 kb).
ps).

The control circuit 16 of the cellular phone HHP
Goes to step 4c and transmits a call signal here,
At step 4d, it is determined whether or not the call is successful. If successful, the process proceeds to step 4e, where the CDPD data transmission / reception operation is performed. At this time, the status data “A” is transmitted from the personal computer PC.
"CTIVE" has arrived. When receiving the status data “ACTIVE”, the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP displays the status data on the LCD 20.

Note that during the period of transition from CDPD standby to CDPD communication, the personal computer PC transmits and receives control data and control signals as shown in FIG.

That is, first, in step 24a, the channel data is transmitted to the signal line TX-DAT. Therefore, the channel data is transferred to the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP via the modem unit MU, and further transferred from the control circuit 16 to the baseband circuit 13 via the bus S-DATA. Then, after being converted into a signal form suitable for wireless transmission by the baseband circuit 13, the signal is wirelessly transmitted from the wireless circuit section to the base station. Next, in step 24b, arrival of control data from the base station is monitored. The transfer path of the reception control data is based on the mobile phone HH.
P baseband circuit 13 to bus S-DATA, control circuit 16, signal line RX-DATA, modem unit M
U respectively.

When it is confirmed in step 24c that CDPD communication has been enabled, the personal computer PC
Sends a power-on control signal to the mobile phone HHP in step 24d. At this time, the power-on control signal is transmitted from the modem unit MU to the mobile phone HH via the signal line PA-ON dedicated to power-on / off control.
The power is directly transferred to the power supply circuit 125 of P, and when the power-on control signal is transferred, the power supply circuit 125 supplies power to the transmission power amplifier 113 at that time to make the transmission on. When the transmission power amplifier 113 is turned on, the personal computer PC proceeds to step 24e.
Then, the transmission of CDPD data is started.

That is, in the above control signal transfer operation, the control data such as the channel data is stored in the portable telephone HHP.
The power-on control signal is transmitted through the control circuit 16 of the power-on / off control signal line PA-ON.
Is directly transferred to the power supply circuit 125 of the mobile phone HHP. Therefore, the power-on control signal is supplied to the power supply circuit 1 of the mobile phone HHP without causing a transmission delay.
25, whereby the transmission power amplifier 113 is immediately turned on. Therefore, the personal computer PC can start the transmission of the CDPD data immediately after the transmission of the power-on control signal without delaying the transmission start timing of the CDPD data.

Further, control data such as channel data, which does not require much immediacy, is transferred together with other control data via the control circuit 16 of the cellular phone HHP, so that it is not necessary to provide a dedicated signal line. Thus, the number of signal lines is reduced, and the configuration is simplified and downsized.

When the transmission / reception of CDPD data is started, the control circuit 16 of the cellular phone HHP, as shown in FIG.
It monitors the arrival of a power-off command and an end command from the computer PC. When the end command arrives, the CD of the release of the wireless channel or the like is transmitted in step 4h.
A PD transmission / reception termination process is performed, and thereafter, the apparatus returns to the standby state in the CDPD mode. At this time, the status data "Blan
k "comes. The control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP includes:
When the status data “Blank” is received, it is displayed on the LCD 20.

On the other hand, it is assumed that a power-off command is received from the personal computer PC during the transmission and reception of the CDPD data. Then, the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP proceeds to step 5i shown in FIG.
It is returned to the personal computer PC as K. Then, in step 5h, a process for turning off the power of the mobile phone HHP is executed. Thus, the mobile phone HH
P is turned off.

In the CDPD standby mode,
The mobile phone HHP also monitors the arrival of the CSCD command and the sleep command. In this state, assume that a CSCD command has arrived from the personal computer PC. Then, the mobile phone HHP shifts to the CSCD mode.

When the CSCD mode is set, connection control with the base station is performed under the control of the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP. During the connection control, the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP indicates its own operation state by status data, and transmits this status data to the personal computer PC via the modem unit MU.
Transmit to In the personal computer PC, when the above status data arrives from the mobile phone HHP,
This status data is displayed on the LCD display 46 by the microprocessor 41. The display of the status data is performed in a window set at the right end of the display, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, in a state where the above-mentioned RSSI information and the remaining battery amount information are arranged.

FIG. 23 shows a personal computer PC.
Shows the types of status data transmitted and received between the mobile phone HHP and the code configuration representing the status data. The status data is represented by the 3-bit codes M0, M1, M2 using the personal computer PC and the mobile phone HHP.
Transferred between and.

As described above, the operating state of the mobile phone HHP is transferred to the personal computer PC and displayed on the LCD display 46, so that the user can operate the personal computer PC to connect the mobile phone HHP. The operation state of the control can be known. For example, if no connection is made, the cause is NO
The LCD of the mobile phone HHP determines whether the terminal is SERVICE or is in a state where a call connection cannot be made due to a busy state.
It is possible to make a determination by looking at the status data displayed on the LCD display 46 of the personal computer PC without looking at the PC 20.

In the CDPD standby mode,
It is assumed that a sleep command (SLEEP) has arrived from the personal computer PC as shown in FIG. Then, the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP turns off the power supply to the wireless circuit 12 and the like, and enters a sleep mode having a high battery saving effect. At this time, status data indicating the sleep mode is sent from the personal computer PC, and the status data is displayed on the LCD 20 of the mobile phone HHP.

Thus, instead of looking at the LCD display 46 of the personal computer PC, the user
By looking at the LCD 20 of the mobile phone HHP,
You can know that it is in sleep mode.
The sleep mode is released when an awaken command (AWAKEN) arrives from the personal computer PC, and returns to the normal CDPD standby mode.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the user has turned off the power switch of the mobile phone HHP during the data communication in the CDPD mode or during the standby period, for example, to make a call with the mobile phone HHP. Then mobile phone H
The control circuit 16 of the HP first generates a power-off request command in step 5a as shown in FIG. 8, and sends this command to the personal computer PC via the modem unit MU. After transmitting the power-off request command, the control circuit 16 monitors the lapse of 10 msec in step 5b, and receives the power-off command command and the power-on command command from the personal computer PC in steps 5d and 5e, respectively. To monitor.

Then, when a power-off command command arrives as shown in FIG. 12, the control circuit 1 of the cellular phone HHP
6 proceeds to step 5i, in which the power-off command command is directly returned to the personal computer PC as a power-off command reception acknowledgment ACK, and then, in step 5h, processing for turning off the power of the mobile phone HHP ( Turn-off process).

On the other hand, when the power off command is received from the portable telephone HHP, the CDPD communication has not been completed yet, and the personal computer PC has transmitted the power on command as shown in FIG. And Then, the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP proceeds to step 5f and returns the power-on command command as it is to the personal computer PC as a power-on command reception confirmation ACK. Until the arrival of the power-off command command is confirmed, the operation state of each circuit in the mobile phone HHP is held.

Therefore, during this time, the personal computer PC terminates the currently executing CDPD procedure, or
Alternatively, at least a procedure for releasing a communication link with the base station can be performed.

When the power-off request command arrives, the personal computer PC displays a message to that effect on the LCD display 46. Therefore, even when a user who is performing data communication using the personal computer PC is different from a user who attempts to make a call using the mobile phone HHP, the user who operates the personal computer PC can use the mobile phone. The fact that the power-off operation has been performed by the HHP can be notified.

On the other hand, even if the portable telephone HHP repeatedly transmits the power-off command command at intervals of 10 msec as shown in FIG. 14, the power-off command command and the power-on command command are not received from the personal computer PC for 5 seconds. It is assumed that has elapsed. In this case,
The control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP shifts from step 5c to step 5h, where power off processing (turn-off) of the mobile phone HHP is performed.

Therefore, if the MPU 41 of the personal computer PC runs out of control, the interface between the personal computer PC and the modem unit MU or the interface between the modem unit MU and the portable telephone HHP becomes defective. Result mobile phone H
Even if the power off command is not received on the HP,
The mobile phone HHP returns to the power-off state 5 msec after the first power-off request is sent. For this reason, useless power consumption in the mobile phone HHP is reduced, and the battery life can be extended.

As described above, in this embodiment, the CD
RS measured by mobile phone HHP during PD mode
The SI data and the remaining battery charge determination data are periodically transferred to the personal computer PC and displayed on the LCD display 46, and status data representing the operating state of the personal computer PC is displayed during the CDPD mode period. To be displayed. During the CSCD mode period, status data indicating the operating state of the mobile phone HHP is transferred to the personal computer PC and transmitted to the personal computer PC.
The information is displayed on the CD display 46.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the CDP
In the D mode, the RSSI information and the remaining battery level information, which were conventionally known only by the mobile phone HHP, are also displayed on the personal computer PC.
The user can clearly know the state of the mobile phone HHP while operating.

In the CDPD mode, status data indicating the operating state of the personal computer PC is also displayed on the mobile phone HHP, so that the user adjusts the attitude of the mobile phone HHP at a position away from the personal computer PC, for example. When you are
The operating state of the personal computer PC can be grasped.

Further, in the CSCD mode in which the portable telephone HHP mainly performs connection control, the portable telephone HH
The status data indicating the operating state of the P
Since the data is transferred to and displayed on the computer PC, the user can use the mobile phone H on the personal computer PC.
It is possible to know the state of the HP connection operation.

Further, when a power-off operation is performed on the mobile phone HHP, the personal
A power-off request command is sent to the computer PC to make an inquiry. When data communication is being performed, a power-on command command is sent from the personal computer PC to the mobile phone HHP to hold the operating state of the mobile phone HHP. Thus, the power of the mobile phone HHP is not suddenly turned off during the data transmission procedure, and the power of the mobile phone HHP can be turned off after the data transmission procedure or the wireless channel opening procedure is surely terminated.

Further, when 5 msec elapses without the power-off command command having arrived from the time of transmitting the first power-off request, the cellular phone HHP automatically returns to the power-off state at that time. For this reason, useless power consumption in the mobile phone HHP is reduced, and battery life can be extended.

Further, upon receiving a command from personal computer PC, portable telephone HHP returns the received command to personal computer PC as it is as a reception acknowledgment command, and personal computer PC returns this command as reception acknowledgment command. The reception of the mobile phone HHP is confirmed by comparing the command with the transmitted command and determining whether the two commands match.

Therefore, the portable telephone HHP does not need to generate a dedicated ACK for each command arrival, which can simplify the ACK procedure, while the personal computer PC can compare the transmitted command with the received command. Since the reception confirmation in the mobile phone HHP can be performed, the confirmation procedure can be simplified.

Further, between the modem unit MU and the cellular phone HHP, a control signal such as a power-on / off control signal that requires immediacy of signal transfer is controlled via a dedicated signal line through a circuit to be controlled. The control data that does not require much immediacy, such as status display data, is transferred by the bus transmission line via the control circuit 16 of the mobile phone HHP.

Therefore, the personal computer P
C controls the transmission power amplifier 11 of the mobile phone HHP
As in the case where 3 is set to the ON state, the operation control that requires immediacy can be controlled at high speed because the control signal is transferred through the dedicated signal line PA-ON. Thereby, the transmission start timing of the CDPD data can be advanced to improve the transmission efficiency of the CDPD data. Also, a dedicated signal line is not provided for all control data and control signals, and a signal transmission line S-DATA forming a bus is commonly used for control data relating to operation control that does not require much immediacy. And transferred. For this reason, the number of signal lines can be greatly reduced as compared with the case where a dedicated signal line is provided for each control signal, and the device can be downsized.

Further, the transfer rate of control data between the personal computer PC and the portable telephone HHP is set as follows:
In the standby state, set to low speed (9.6 kbps)
On the other hand, high speed (76.8 kbps) in the CDPD channel scan mode or the CDPD data transmission / reception mode
In the standby mode, the power consumption can be reduced and the battery life can be prolonged. On the other hand, during CDPD data transmission, the control relating to this transmission can be performed at a high speed.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, a card-type modem unit MU is prepared separately from the personal computer PC, and the CDPD communication is enabled by inserting the modem unit MU into a slot of the personal computer PC. A personal computer PC having a circuit corresponding to the modem unit MU or an application program may be prepared, and a portable telephone HHP may be connected to the personal computer PC to realize CDPD communication. Further, a mobile phone HH incorporating a circuit or an application program corresponding to the modem unit MU.
P may be prepared, and a personal computer PC may be connected to the mobile phone HHP to realize CDPD communication.

Further, with respect to the transfer and display operation of the RSSI information, the mobile phone HHP determines the level by calculating the average value of the plurality of RSSI data and comparing the average value with the threshold value, and sends the determination data to the personal computer PC. May be displayed.

Further, the mobile phone HHP measures the RSSI data a plurality of times at fixed time intervals per unit time, and transfers the measured data to the personal computer PC as it is in the first of these measurements.
In the subsequent measurements, data representing the difference between the measurement data and the measurement data obtained in the immediately preceding measurement is stored in the personal data.
Send to computer PC. In the personal computer PC, an average value of the measurement data per unit time is obtained based on the first RSSI data transferred from the mobile phone HHP and the difference data transmitted thereafter, and the average value is set in advance. The comparison result may be compared with a threshold value and the comparison result may be displayed as information indicating the reception quality.

In this manner, the amount of RSSI data transferred from the portable telephone HHP to the personal computer PC can be reduced as compared with the case where the measured data is always transferred as it is every time the RSSI data is measured. it can.

Regarding the transfer display of the remaining battery data, the portable telephone HHP sends the detected value data of the battery voltage to the personal computer PC as it is, and the personal computer PC compares the detected data of the battery voltage with the threshold value. Then, the level may be determined and the result of the determination may be displayed.

Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the output voltage value Vcc of the power supply circuit 21 is measured every two seconds in the portable telephone HHP, and the level judgment data is transferred to the personal computer PC for display. However, the measurement interval may be set to a value other than 2 sec, or the measurement interval may be set randomly (irregularly).

When the battery voltage value is, for example, 4.6 V or more, measurement, transfer, and display are performed in a long first cycle, and when the battery voltage value falls below that, measurement is performed in a second cycle shorter than the first cycle. -Transfer and display may be performed. Further, when the voltage drops to less than 4.2 V, measurement, transfer, and display may be performed in a shorter third period.

In addition, the configuration of the portable telephone, the modem unit and the personal computer, the transfer display control procedure of the RSSI information, the battery remaining amount information and the status data and the contents thereof, the display form of the RSSI information and the battery remaining amount information, etc. Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0119]

As described above in detail, according to the first aspect, when a request command command relating to mobile data communication is sent from a data terminal device to a mobile phone, the mobile phone confirms receipt of the request command command. Is returned to the data terminal device as it is, and after transmitting the request command command to the mobile phone, the data terminal device determines whether or not the same request command command as the transmission request command command is returned from the mobile phone. The reception confirmation of the transmission request command command in the portable telephone is performed based on the determination result. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mobile communication terminal device that simplifies a command transfer control procedure in a mobile phone and a data terminal device.

In the second invention, when an operation for turning off the power of the mobile phone is performed in a state where the mode for mobile data communication is set, a power-off request is sent to the data terminal device. After the power-off request is sent, if the power-off instruction is returned from the data terminal device, the power of the mobile phone is shifted to the off state, whereas if the power-on instruction is returned, the power of the mobile phone is turned off. It is kept on. Therefore, according to the present invention, when a power-off operation is performed on a mobile phone during mobile data communication, it is possible to reliably turn off the power of the mobile phone without causing a problem such as strong cutoff in mobile data communication control operation. And a mobile phone capable of performing such operations.

Further, in the third invention, in a state where the communication mode in which the data terminal device independently executes the connection control between the mobile phone and the base station is set, the predetermined operation state of the mobile phone is immediately changed. Control signals for direct control from the data terminal device to the mobile phone via a dedicated control signal line, while other control signals that do not need to be controlled immediately are transmitted via a signal transmission path having a bus structure. To transfer. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform high-speed operation control that requires immediacy, such as when the transmission power amplifier is turned on,
Moreover, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated signal line for each control signal, and it is possible to provide a mobile communication terminal device capable of greatly reducing the number of signal lines and achieving downsizing.

Further, in the fourth invention, the transfer speed of control data between the data terminal device and the mobile phone is set to a predetermined first speed when the execution mode of the mobile data communication is set, When the standby mode of the mobile data communication is set, the second speed is set to be lower than the first speed. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mobile communication terminal device that achieves both high-speed mobile data communication control and power saving.
