JP2002359670A - Notice system of mobile terminal information by television receiver - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a notice system of mobile terminal information by a television receiver that can immediately inform a viewer of television about the arrival of an incoming call when the incoming call arrives in a mobile phone during viewing a television program. SOLUTION: The notice system comprises a television receiver A having a near distance wireless communication function and a mobile terminal B similarly having a near distance wireless function. The mobile terminal B generates music tone data of a ringer tone and transmits the generated music tone data of the ringer tone to the television receiver A when the mobile terminal B receives an incoming call, the mobile terminal B uses a mixer circuit of the television receiver A to replace the sound of the television receiver with the ringer tone and to allow the television receiver A to output the ringer tone. When mail arrives in the mobile terminal B, the mobile terminal B transmits character information of the mail to the television receiver A on request and uses a superimpose circuit of the television receiver A to allow the television receiver A to display the character information on the TV screen. Thus, even when the mobile terminal B is not at hand or the user does not recognize the arrival of the incoming call to the mobile terminal B under a noisy surrounding, the user does not overlock an important message.
