For example, LP like MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3)
For the original sound of CM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation)
A compression method has been proposed that does not degrade the quality so much even if it is compressed to about one-tenth and can withstand viewing. With the development of these technologies, for example, it is possible to record music data for one album in a semiconductor memory having a size about a stamp.

On the other hand, from the viewpoint of music distribution, in addition to the conventional distribution using package media represented by cassette tapes and CDs, music data is directly downloaded using the Internet or the like (hereinafter referred to as electronic music distribution). ) Are showing signs of widespread use.

In electronic music distribution, as described above,
In general, music data is downloaded via the Internet using a personal computer PC. However, since the initial investment cost of the PC is high, distribution channels other than the PC-Internet are being studied, and among them, the form of downloading music data using a mobile phone has attracted attention. Currently, mobile phones have slow communication speeds and high communication costs, but with the improvement of future communication technology,
If these obstacles are overcome, they are considered to be one of the most powerful distribution channels. This is due to the extremely high penetration rate of mobile phones and the fact that the equipment required for electronic music distribution is not as expensive as a PC.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a music data acquisition / reproduction system using electronic music distribution. The music data acquisition / reproduction system is a mobile phone 110
1. Music playback player 1102 and recording medium 1103
Consists of The mobile phone 1101 includes a recording medium slot for mounting a recording medium 1103 described below in a main body,

The recording medium 1103 is a portable memory such as a semiconductor memory, and holds music data recorded by the mobile phone 1101.

[0006] As shown in FIG. 14, in consideration of downloading music data with a portable telephone and listening to the music, the downloaded music data is once recorded on a portable recording medium 1103, and then downloaded. It is conceivable that the recording medium 1103 is detached from the mobile phone 1101 and then attached to another music reproducing player 1102 for reproduction. However, for example, carrying two of a mobile phone and a music playback device at the time of commuting or commuting means occupying a space such as a bag, and therefore, a mobile phone having a music playback function, that is, a mobile phone and a music playback device An integrated multifunction device that has both functions (hereinafter referred to as a mobile phone with a music playback function).
Is desired.

[0007]

Since the base of such a mobile phone with a music playback function is a telephone, the processing when a call is received during music playback is described below.
It becomes necessary to perform processing that is not required for ordinary music playback devices. For example, assuming that there is an incoming call while listening to music using a mobile phone with a music playback function, it can be understood that the mobile phone with a music playback function has the following problems or problems.

(1) Processing at Incoming Call In the case of a normal mobile phone, an incoming call is transmitted to the user mainly by a sound (ring tone) output from a speaker. However, in the case of a mobile phone with a music playback function, it is necessary to reliably transmit a ring tone to a user who is listening to music through headphones, for example. In particular, in the case of a so-called ringtone (ringing melody), it is necessary to clearly distinguish between the music being viewed and the music to be reproduced at the time of receiving a call, and to surely inform the user. To solve such a problem, refer to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-321844.
In order to ensure that the ringtone is conveyed to the user when there is an incoming call during music playback, the output of the headphones is switched from the music playback sound to the ringtone and output, or the music playback sound is output. 2.

It is necessary to calculate an appropriate address to be reproduced at the time of resumption based on this.

The last resume pattern is the incoming call reproduction position information 31 in the incoming call processing information storage unit 107.
This indicates that the reproduction is restarted from the beginning of the music piece 501 irrespective of the value of the address stored in No. 2. FIG. 7 describes specific numerical values of the resume position in these three types of resume methods.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the relationship between the incoming call reproduction position information 312 corresponding to the three types of resume patterns shown in FIG. 6 and the resume position information indicating the address of the reproduction restart position by specific numerical values. 7, resume patterns 601 indicate the three types of resume patterns shown in FIG. The incoming call reproduction position information 602 indicates address information from the beginning of the file of the music data 203 being reproduced at the time of incoming call. The resume position information 603 stores the music data 2 in three types of resume methods.
03 indicates the point from which reproduction is to be resumed. Also, the incoming call reproduction position information 3 in the incoming call processing information storage unit 107.
It is assumed that the address stored in No. 12 is “1234”. At this time, in the resume pattern, reproduction is resumed from the reproduction position at the time of the incoming call, so that the address as the resume position information is also “1234”. Next, in the resume pattern, the resume position is traced back from the reproduction position at the time of the incoming call by a predetermined value, for example, reproduction for 5 seconds. This indicates that the address value that has been advanced by that amount is, for example, “765”. Finally, in the resume pattern,
This indicates that the address as the resume position information is “0” because the reproduction is restarted from the beginning.

As described above, according to the portable telephone 100 with the music reproducing function, the following three resume patterns 6
01 can be provided, so the user
Among them, there is an effect that it is possible to select and execute a more preferable resume method for the user.

FIG. 8 shows the music data recording medium 105 of FIG.
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method of specifying a resume position according to a modified example of the resume pattern using an access point 208 in the middle. For example, the music data recording medium 105
In the access point 208, a point that is considered convenient for the user to resume reproduction, such as the beginning of one chorus, the beginning of two choruses, or a measure unit, is registered in the access point 208 in advance. In the present embodiment, the first access point 704, the second access point 705, the third
Access point 706, fourth access point 707
It is assumed that the four access points are registered.

In the figure, the uppermost arrow indicates the reproduction unit 10.
6 reproduces the music data 203 from the beginning of the music 701, the communication unit 108 detects the incoming call at the position indicated by the first incoming point 702, and the control unit 103 instructs the reproduction unit 106 to stop the reproduction of the music data. Is shown. At this time, the second arrow from the top in FIG.
This indicates that reproduction is resumed by going back to the first access point 704 which is the access point immediately before the second access point.

On the other hand, the third arrow from the top indicates
6 reproduces the song data 203 from the beginning 701, the communication unit 108 detects an incoming call at the position indicated by the second arrival point 703, and the control unit 103 instructs the reproduction unit 106 to stop the reproduction of the song data 203. Is shown. In contrast,
The fourth arrow from the top indicates that the control unit 103 indicates that the second
This indicates that reproduction is resumed by going back to the third access point 706 which is the access point immediately before the third access point.

If there is no immediately preceding access point, the control section 103 resumes reproduction from the beginning of the music piece 701. Also, regarding the access point 208, the user can change or additionally set the access point 208 registered in accordance with the music data 203 by separately providing the mobile phone 100 with a music playback function with an editing function. Or you may be able to.

As described above, according to the above-described modification, the access point 208 that is a candidate for the resume position is determined according to the content of the stored music data 203, so that it is meaningless for a user who watches music. It is possible to determine a more meaningful resume position than to determine a resume position based on address information. Also, by setting various resume patterns in this way, there is an effect that various resume methods can be realized in accordance with the needs of the user.

Next, the operation of the portable telephone 100 with the music reproducing function configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 to 11 and the timing charts of FIGS. 12 and 13.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control unit 103 when there is an incoming call during the reproduction of music data. The control unit 103 waits for an incoming call notification from the communication unit 108 while causing the reproduction unit 106 to reproduce the music data (S8).
01). When receiving the incoming call notification from the communication unit 108, the control unit 103 stores the telephone number of the caller in the incoming call processing information storage unit 1
It is determined whether or not the caller is stored in the telephone directory storage area 301 (S802). If the result of the determination is that the call is from a registered partner, the incoming call processing method stored in the incoming call processing method 309 is acquired (S803). On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S802 is that there is an incoming call from a party not registered in the telephone directory storage area 301, the incoming call processing method storage area 302
Is acquired (S80).
5).

Then, based on the obtained incoming call processing method, whether the reproduction of the music data is stopped or the BGM
It is determined whether the reproduction of the music data is to be continued (S804). If it is determined that the reproduction of the music data is to be stopped, the reproduction unit 106 causes the music data being reproduced to fade out, and at the same time, causes the ringtone extraction unit 109 to extract a predetermined ringtone from the ringtone storage unit 110. The reproduced ringing tone is mixed and reproduced with the reproduction sound of the music data while causing the reproduction unit 106 to perform the fade-in process (807).

Further, the reproduction unit 106 stops reproduction of the music data (S808), and replaces the file name 206 of the reproduced music data with the resume file name 311 of the resume information storage area 303 in the incoming call processing information storage unit 107.
Then, after recording the address information of the place where the reproduction is stopped, that is, the resume position information, in the incoming call reproduction position information 312 of the resume information storage area 303 (S809), the process proceeds to step S810.

If it is determined in step S804 that the reproduction of the music data is to be continued as BGM, the reproduction unit 106 is caused to gradually reduce the volume of the music data being reproduced to the volume of the BGM reproduction, and at the same time, the ringing tone extraction unit 109 To retrieve a predetermined ringtone from the ringtone storage unit 110,
The extracted ring tone is mixed with the BGM playback sound and played back while fading in the playback unit 106 (S806), and the measurement of the elapsed time from the start of the playback of the ring tone is started, and the call from the communication unit 108 is started. Wait for a start notification (S810).

The control unit 103 measures the elapsed time from the start of ringtone reproduction, and determines whether or not there is a communication start notification from the communication unit 108 before the measured elapsed time exceeds a predetermined time. It is determined whether or not the user has accepted the incoming call within the predetermined time (S811), and if the user has accepted the incoming call within the predetermined time, the process ends. On the other hand, if the user does not accept the incoming call within the predetermined time, the playback unit 106 stops the playback of the ringtone assuming that the user does not intend to accept the incoming call (S812), and stops the playback of the music data. In this case, the reproduction of the music data is resumed. If the music data is reproduced in BGM, the volume of the music data is returned to the normal volume (at the time of waiting for an incoming call), and the process ends.

Here, it is assumed that the ringing tone is mixed with the reproduction sound of the music data or the BGM reproduction sound and reproduced while the ringing tone is faded in by the reproduction unit 106.
Mixing is not necessarily required. For example, a ringtone may be output from the right (or left) speaker of the headphones 3 and a reproduced sound of music data may be output from the left (or right) speaker.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, mobile phone 100 with a music playback function can play back a call partner registered in advance in accordance with the incoming call processing method stored in incoming call processing method 309. The user decides whether to stop playing the music in progress or to continue playing the music in BGM, so that the user can stop playing the music and concentrate on the call depending on the other party. There is an effect that the user can enjoy BGM. In addition, the mobile phone 100 with the music playback function determines the above-described incoming call processing according to the incoming call processing method stored in the incoming call processing method storage area 302 for a caller who is not registered, and thus does not talk so frequently. Although the calling party is the same, there is an effect that it is possible to set whether to stop the reproduction of the music being reproduced or to continue the reproduction. Furthermore, if the mobile phone 100 with the music playback function does not respond to the incoming call within a predetermined time after the incoming call, the mobile phone 100 automatically stops playing the ringtone, so that the battery consumption due to the ringtone playback can be suppressed. effective. in this case,
When the vibration of the vibrator is used together with the reproduction of the ring tone to notify the incoming call, if the vibrator is stopped at the same time as the ring tone, it is particularly effective in suppressing the consumption of the battery.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the control section 103 when the reproduction of the music data is resumed after the end of the telephone call when the reproduction of the music data is stopped at the time of the incoming call.

The control section 103 waits for a communication end notification from the communication section 108 (S901). When the call termination notification is received, a resume method for resuming the reproduction of the music data is determined. Here, the resume method follows the specification of the resume pattern stored in the resume method storage area 304 in the incoming call processing information storage unit 107 (S90).
2). For example, when the content stored in the resume method storage area 304 is “1”, the resume pattern is specified.

Subsequently, music data to be reproduced is specified by the resume method determined in step S902. The music data to be reproduced is stored in the resume file name 31 in the resume information storage area 303 in the incoming call processing information storage unit 107.
1 Further, the control unit 103 specifies the resume position of the specified music data. For example, in the resume pattern, the incoming call processing information storage unit 1
The address stored in the incoming-call reproduction position information 312 is specified. Next, the control unit 103 instructs the music data extracting unit 104 to extract music data from the specified resume position (S903).

Further, control section 103 instructs reproduction section 106 to reproduce the music data extracted by music data extraction section 104, and terminates the processing (S904). In response, the reproduction unit 106 reproduces the music data from the resume position specified in step S903.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, portable telephone 100 with the music reproducing function resumes the reproduction of the interrupted music data in accordance with the resume pattern stored in resume method storage area 304. Even if the reproduction of music is interrupted at a timing unexpected by the user, the reproduction of music data can be started according to a more preferable resume pattern selected by the user after the call is over.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control unit 103 when there is an incoming call when music data is not being reproduced. The control unit 103 waits for an incoming call notification from the communication unit 108 (S1001). When there is an incoming call notification, the control unit 103 checks whether or not the telephone number of the caller is registered in the telephone directory storage area 301 of the incoming call processing information storage unit 107. It is determined whether or not it has been registered (S1002). If the result of determination is that there is an incoming call from a party not registered in the telephone directory storage area 301, the process ends.

If the result of determination is that there is an incoming call from an already registered partner, the BGM file name 310 of the corresponding registrant 306 in the incoming call processing information storage unit 107 is obtained (S1003). Next, the control unit 103 determines whether or not a file name is specified based on the content of the acquired BGM file name 310 (S100).
4). For example, if the content of the acquired BGM file name 310 is “0”, it indicates that the file name is not specified, and the content of the acquired BGM file name 310 is “0”.
Otherwise, it is the file name of the music data.
The control unit 103 determines as a result of the determination in step S1004,
If no file name is specified, the process ends.

If the result of determination in step S1004 is that a file name has been designated, control unit 103 waits for a communication start notification from communication unit 108 (S1005). When the communication start notification is received from the communication unit 108, the music data extraction unit 104 is instructed to extract the music data specified by the BGM file name 310, and the reproduction unit 106 is instructed to reproduce the extracted music data in BGM. By
BGM reproduction of the music data is started (S1006), and the process ends.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, mobile phone 100 with a music playback function can perform BGM playback of music data even when there is an incoming call when music data is not being played back. In addition, the mobile phone 100 with the music playback function performs the BGM playback of the music data specified in the BGM file name 310, so that the user previously stores the music data corresponding to the called party in the BGM file name 310, for example, By selecting your favorite song, you can transfer music data with
There is an effect that it can be enjoyed as GM.

FIG. 12 is a timing chart showing a change in volume between the music data reproduction sound and the ringtone of the portable telephone 100 with the music reproduction function when the user responds within a predetermined time when receiving a call. In the figure, (a) shows a change in the volume of the music data reproduction sound, and (b) shows a change in the volume of the ringtone. In FIG. 12A, the volume change indicated by the solid line LA1 is (1) the case where the user is playing music data at the time of the incoming call, and the incoming call processing method 309 or the incoming call processing method storage area of FIG. This is a change in volume when “1” is stored in 302. The volume change indicated by the broken line LA2 is (2) when the user is playing music data at the time of an incoming call, and “2” is stored in the incoming call processing method 309 or the incoming call processing method storage area 302 in FIG. This is a change in volume when the sound has been performed. The volume change indicated by the dashed-dotted line LA3 is (3) when the user is not playing music data at the time of an incoming call, and the incoming call processing method 3 in FIG.
09 is stored in the BGM file name 31
This is a change in volume when 0 is specified. FIG.
In both cases, the vertical axis indicates the volume v and the horizontal axis indicates the time t.

In the case of the above (1), as shown by the solid line LA1, while the user is reproducing music data at the volume v = v1, t =
If there is an incoming call at t1 (step S80 in FIG. 9)
1) The control unit 103 stores the telephone number of the caller of the incoming call and the telephone directory storage area 301 of the reception processing information storage unit 107.
Is compared with the telephone number 308 of each registrant 306 (step S802). If they match, the incoming call processing method 309 of the registrant 306 is obtained (step S803). If they do not match, the incoming call processing method storage area 302 Is acquired (step S805). When the acquired incoming call processing method is “1” (step S804), the control unit 10
3 instructs the reproduction unit 106 to perform a fade-out process of reproducing the music data, instructs the ringtone extraction unit 109 to extract the ringtone from the ringtone storage unit 110, and fades the reproduction of the extracted ringtone. The reproduction unit 106 is instructed to perform the in-process (step S807). As a result, the reproduction sound of the music data is faded out from the volume v1 to 0 during t1 ≦ t ≦ t2 as shown by the solid line LA1, and at the same time, as shown in FIG.
During t ≦ t2, the ringtone is faded in to the volume v3. Next, after the end of the fade-out processing, the reproduction unit 106
Is instructed to stop reproducing music data (step S80).
8) The resume file name 311 and the incoming call reproduction position information 312 are recorded (step S809). As a result, as shown by the solid line LA1, the reproduction of the music data is stopped after t = t2 (v = 0), and at the same time, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), only the ringtone is reproduced at a fixed volume v3. Here, when the user responds to the incoming call by operating the input unit 101 (t = t3) (step S811), the processing of the communication unit 108 stops the extraction of the ringtone by the ringtone extraction unit 109, and the call is terminated. Be started. As a result, as shown in FIG.
At t3, the ringtone stops, and only the call sound is output until the call ends.

Here, the fade-out of the music data reproduction sound and the fade-in of the ringtone are the same at the start time t1 and the end time t2, but at different timings. May be faded in. For example, the timing of starting the fade-out of the music data reproduction sound may be later than the start of the fade-in of the ring tone, or the timing of ending the fade-in of the ring tone may be earlier than the end of the fade-out of the music data reproduction sound. Alternatively, the reverse is also possible. Also, the fade-out speed of the music data reproduction sound may be faster than the fade-in speed of the ringtone, or vice versa. Further, the timing and the fade-in / out speed may be adjusted by the user. In addition, the ring tone stops at t = t3 due to the start of the call. In this case, the ring tone may be faded out.

When the user ends the call by operating the input unit 101 (t = t4), the communication unit 108
As a result, a call end notification is transmitted to the control unit 103. Upon receiving the call termination notification (step S901 in FIG. 10), the control unit 103 reproduces the incoming call according to the resume pattern stored in the resume method storage area 304 of the incoming call processing information storage unit 107 (steps S902 and S903). The reproduced music data is reproduced (step S90).
4). As a result, as shown by the solid line LA1, the reproduction of the music data stopped during the call (volume v = 0) is changed from the end of the call (t = t4) to the reproduction of the music data at the time of the incoming call (t = t1). Restarted at volume v1. Here, the volume adjustment processing is not performed at the time of starting the reproduction of the music data by the resume, but the fade-in processing may be performed at the start of the reproduction of the music data by the resume.

In the case of the above (2), as shown by the broken line LA2, while the user is playing music data at the volume v = v1, t =
If there is an incoming call at t1 (step S80 in FIG. 9)
1) As in the case of (1), if the telephone number of the caller matches the telephone number 308 of the registrant 306 (step S802), the control unit 103 performs an incoming call processing method 309 of the registrant 306, as in (1). (Step S803), and if they do not match, the incoming call processing method in the incoming call processing method storage area 302 is obtained (step S805). If the acquired incoming call processing method is “2” (step S804), the control unit 103 instructs the reproducing unit 106 to gradually reduce the volume of the music data being reproduced to the volume of BGM reproduction, and retrieves a ringtone. Unit 109 is instructed to take out the ringtone from ringtone storage unit 110, and instructing reproduction unit 106 to perform a fade-in process on the reproduction of the retrieved ringtone (step S806). As a result, as shown by the broken line LA2, the reproduction sound of the music data starts from the time of the incoming call and is set to t1 ≦ t
During ≦ t2, the volume v1 of the reproduced sound up to that time is gradually reduced to the predetermined volume v2, and after t = t2, the volume v2 is constant.
Performs BGM reproduction of music data. On the other hand, the ringtone is faded in as shown in FIG. 12B while being mixed with the BGM playback sound during t1 ≦ t ≦ t2, and t =
When a predetermined volume v3 is reached at t2, the volume v3
Will be played back. Here, when the user accepts the incoming call (t =
t3) (step S811), the processing of the communication unit 108 stops the ringtone extraction by the ringtone extraction unit 109, and the call is started. The BGM playback sound of the music data is mixed with the call sound and played back.
Alternatively, it is output from the speaker 6 and transmitted to the user's call partner. Thus, as shown in FIG. 12B, the ringtone stops at t = t3. Also in this case, a fade-out process may be performed for stopping the ringtone.

When the call ends (t = t4), the communication unit 1
08 sends a call end notification to the control unit 103. If BGM playback is being performed at the end of the call, the control unit 103 sends the music data BGM playback to the playback unit 106.
Instructs to increase the playback volume to the volume of the incoming call. Thereby, as shown by the broken line LA2, the music data BG
M playback volume v2 is volume v at the time of music data playback at the time of incoming call
Returned to 1. In this case, as a matter of course, the volume v2 of the BGM reproduction may be gradually increased to the volume v1 at the time of the incoming call.

Here, it is assumed that the BGM reproduction sound of the music data is mixed with the call sound and reproduced. However, the BGM reproduction sound of the music data and the call sound do not necessarily have to be mixed. The speaker sound may be output from the right (or left) speaker and the BGM playback sound of the music data may be output from the left (or right) speaker.

[0093] The BGM playback sound of music data is also transmitted to the other party of the user. However, the mobile phone with the music playback function of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The reproduced sound may be output only from the headphone 3 or the speaker 6 at the same time as the call sound, and may not be transmitted to the user's call partner. By doing so, when the user of the mobile phone with the music playback function makes a call, if the receiver is also the user of the mobile phone with the music playback function, the receiver also becomes the caller during the call. There is an effect that BGM reproduction of another music data can be enjoyed. Further, the user may be allowed to individually set whether or not to transmit the BGM playback sound to the communication partner. Furthermore, the setting may be made for each communication partner.

In the case of the above (3), the user does not reproduce the music data at the time of the incoming call. The control unit 103 includes the communication unit 10
8 (t = t1) (step S1001 in FIG. 11), the ringtone extraction unit 1 extracts the ringtone.
09, and instructs the reproduction unit 106 to perform a fade-in process for reproducing the extracted ringtone. This allows
From the time of the incoming call, during the period of t1 ≦ t ≦ t2, the ring tone is
As shown in (b), when the sound fades in and reaches a predetermined sound volume v3 at t = t2, the sound is reproduced at the sound volume v3.

During this time, the control unit 103 checks the telephone number of the caller of the incoming call with the telephone number 308 of each registrant 306 (step S1002). Is acquired, and if the acquired incoming call processing method 309 is “2”, the BGM file name 310 is acquired (step S1003). Control unit 1
In step 03, since the acquired BGM file name 310 is not “0” (step S1004), it waits for a call start notification from the communication unit 108 (step S1005). If there is a call start notification (t = t3), it is acquired. The music data extraction unit 104 is instructed to extract the music data 203 having the BGM file name 310 from the music data recording medium 105, and the reproduction unit 106 is instructed to play back the extracted music data 203 in BGM (step S1006). The ring tone is stopped by the processing of the communication unit 108.

Thus, when the call starts (t = t
3), while the ringtone is stopped as shown in FIG.
As indicated by the dashed line LA3, the BGM file name 310
The BGM reproduction of the music data 203 specified by (1) is started (v = v2), and the music data 203 is mixed with the call sound. The mixed BGM playback sound is output to the headphone 3 or the speaker 6.
And transmitted to the user's call partner. In this case, the BGM file name 3
Regarding the BGM reproduction of the music data 203 specified in 10,
A fade-in process may be performed. In the above case,
It is assumed that the BGM reproduction of the music data 203 is started after the call is started. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
t1) or at an appropriate time after the incoming call (t1 ≦
BGM reproduction or its fade-in process may be started from t ≦ t3). In the above description, only BGM playback during a call when the mobile phone 100 with the music playback function receives an incoming call has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. BGM playback may be performed even during a call when a user makes a call. In this case, BGM
The reproduced sound may be mixed with the call sound and transmitted to the other party, or may not be transmitted.

When the call ends (t = t4), the control unit 1
03 is the music data 20 from the music data recording medium 105
3 is instructed to the music data extracting unit 104 and the reproduction of the music data is instructed to the reproducing unit 106. As a result, the BGM reproduction of the music data is stopped (v = 0), as indicated by the one-dot chain line LA3. In this case, it is needless to say that a fade-out process may be performed for stopping the BGM reproduction of the music data 203.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, mobile phone 100 with the music playback function fades out the music being played back at the time of an incoming call and fades in the ringtone at the same time. Users can distinguish between ringtones more comfortably, and can perform a variety of processes at the time of an incoming call, during a call, and at the end of a call. There is an effect that it is possible to respond to various needs of the user caused by having both functions with the telephone.

FIG. 13 shows that when the user receives a call,
Mobile phone 1 with music playback function when there is no response within
6 is a timing chart showing a change in volume between a music data reproduction sound and a ringtone of 00. In the figure, (a) shows a change in the volume of the music data reproduction sound, and (b) shows a change in the volume of the ringtone. In FIG. 13A, a volume change indicated by a solid line la1 is a volume change in a case similar to (1) of FIG. 12A. The volume change indicated by the broken line la2 is a volume change in the same case as (2) in FIG. The volume change indicated by the dashed line la3 is
This is a sound volume change in a case similar to (3) of FIG. Therefore, at the time of incoming call in FIG. 13 (t1 ≦ t ≦ t
The volume change of 2) corresponds to the time of incoming call shown in FIG. 12 (t1 ≦ t ≦ t2).
, The description is omitted. Here, t5 = t1 + Δt.

In the case of (1), in the state where only the ring tone is reproduced at a constant volume (v = v3) (t2 ≦ t), even if a predetermined time Δt has elapsed from the time of the incoming call (t = t5), Does not respond (step S811 in FIG. 10), the control unit 103
6 and obtains the file name (resume file name 311) of the music data being reproduced at the time of the incoming call, instructs the music data extraction unit 104 to extract the music data of the obtained file name from the beginning of the music, and The reproduction unit 106 is instructed to mix the received music data with the ringtone while performing the fade-in process and start reproduction.
When the fade-out of the ring tone is completed (t = t6), the control unit 103 instructs the ring tone extraction unit 1 to stop extracting the ring tone.
09, and instructs the reproduction unit 106 to stop reproducing the ringtone (step S812). On the other hand, when the reproduction sound of the faded-in music data reaches the volume (v = v1) at the time of the incoming call (t = t6), the reproduction unit 106 is instructed to reproduce the music data at the volume v1.

As a result, the ringtone is faded out as shown in FIG. 13B (t5 ≦ t ≦ t6, v3 ≧ v ≧
0) At the same time, the music data whose reproduction has been stopped due to the incoming call is faded in again (t5 ≦ t ≦ t6, 0 ≦ v ≦ v1) as indicated by the solid line la1 in FIG. Return to the state. In this case, it is assumed that the reproduction of the music data whose reproduction has been stopped due to the incoming call is restarted from the beginning of the music, but the present invention is not limited to this example, and the reproduction from the resume position based on another resume pattern is performed. May be resumed, or the reproduction may be resumed from a resume position based on the resume pattern stored in the resume method storage area 304.

In the case of (2), the reproduction sound of the music data being reproduced at the time of the incoming call is reduced, and the ringtone of a fixed volume (v = v3) is mixed with the BGM reproduced sound (v = v2) and reproduced. If the user does not respond even after a predetermined time Δt has elapsed (t = t5) from the time of the incoming call (t2 ≦ t <t5), the control unit 103 sends the ringing tone fade-out processing to the reproduction unit 106. At the same time, it instructs to increase the BGM playback volume v2 of the music data to the volume v1 at the time of the incoming call.
