Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cellular phone apparatus for discriminating an irritating telephone call called 'one-ring fraud' and for preventing it from remaining in an arrival history. <P>SOLUTION: In the arrival of signals, an arrival sound counter 10 counts the rumbling times of the arrival by a sounder 4. When a call is suspended before a user responds to arrival signals, the arrival signals where the rumbling times of the arrival signals that the arrival sound counter 10 counts during a call are equal to or less than 1 and a caller number is not registered at a speed dial storage section 7 are judged to be an 'one-ring fraud' irritating call. When the arrival signals are judged to be irritating calls, the arrival history that an arrival history storage section 8 stores is not updated, thus preventing the caller number from remaining in the arrival history, and hence avoiding a situation where the user calls back the irritating calls. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone device having a function of storing incoming call history.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a portable telephone device has a function of storing a received call history, and regardless of whether or not the user answered the incoming call, the date and time of the incoming call, and the caller's own call If a number is being transmitted, the telephone number (sender number) is saved. By calling the telephone number recorded in the received call history, the user can call back the caller of the previously received call by dialing back with one-touch operation.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a conventional portable telephone device. In this figure, 101 is a transmitting / receiving antenna, 1
Reference numeral 02 is a transmission / reception unit that performs a predetermined process for transmitting and receiving information by the antenna 101, 103 is a control unit that controls each element in the mobile phone device, and 104 is a ring tone when a call is received. A sounder to ring, 105 is a display unit for presenting information to the user, and 106 is a key input unit for the user to perform an operation. Reference numeral 107 denotes a speed dial storage unit that stores a telephone number registered by the user in association with a predetermined speed dial number, name, etc.
Is an incoming call history storage unit that stores incoming call history. Further, the user can change the setting of a predetermined function of the mobile phone device by operating the key input unit 106, and the setting content is stored in the setting information storage unit 109.

When an incoming call signal of a telephone is received through the antenna 101 and the transmission / reception unit 102 in the standby state of the portable telephone device, the incoming call signal is analyzed by the control unit 103, and the control unit 103 controls the sounder 104. Then, the ringing tone is sounded and a screen showing the incoming call is displayed on the display unit 105.

Then, the user can operate the key input unit 106 to respond to the incoming call and make a call. When the call ends, it returns to the standby state again.
When the user cannot respond to the incoming call, the caller interrupts the calling operation to return to the standby state.

As described above, when returning to the standby state due to the termination of the call or the interruption of the calling operation by the caller, the control unit 103 controls the incoming call history storage unit 108 to make the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 108. Update by adding information such as the date and time of the call and the caller ID.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the operation in the case where the caller interrupts the calling operation before the user answers the incoming call in the conventional portable telephone device. The operation of the conventional mobile phone device when an incoming call is interrupted will be described below with reference to these drawings. First, the antenna 101
When an incoming call signal from the telephone is received via the transmitting / receiving unit 102 (S101), the control unit 103 controls the sounder 104 to ring the incoming call tone (S102). Then, as a screen showing an incoming call on the display unit 105, "incoming call" characters,
If the caller number or the caller number is registered in the speed dial storage unit 107, the name or the like associated therewith is displayed (S103). Then, until the call is interrupted by the caller and the incoming call is stopped, the above S
102 to S103 are repeated (S104).

When the incoming call is stopped, the control unit 103 causes the display unit 105 to display "incoming call", a caller number or a name corresponding to the caller number (S105), which is stored in the incoming call history storage unit 108. Information such as the time when the call arrived and the caller number is added to the incoming call history to update the incoming call history (S106).

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of transition of screens on the display unit 105 in accordance with the above operation in the conventional mobile phone device. In FIG. 9A, the caller number is sent by the caller, but the caller number is not registered in the speed dial storage unit 107. In FIG. 9B, the caller number is sent by the caller. 9 is transmitted and the caller number is registered in the speed dial storage unit 107. FIG. 9C shows a case where the caller number is not transmitted from the caller.

First, in the case where the caller number is sent by the caller but is not registered in the speed dial storage unit 107, the character "calling" and the caller number are displayed on the display unit 105 during the call. (Here, "06XXXXXYY
(Indicated as YY ") is displayed, and the ringer is sounded by the sounder 104 to notify the user of the incoming call (FIG. 9).
(A) Above figure). Then, after the termination of the incoming call, by displaying the characters "incoming call" and the caller number, the user can easily recognize that there is an incoming call and the outgoing number (Fig. 9 (a) middle diagram). ). Further, since the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 108 at that time is updated by adding information such as the incoming call time and the caller number regarding the incoming call, the user operates the key input unit 6. When the incoming call history is displayed, the information of the incoming call is called (Fig. 9 (a)
(See the figure below), the user can dial the called party number with one-touch operation.

In the case where the caller number is sent by the caller and is registered in the speed dial storage unit 107, the character "incoming" and the speed dial storage unit 107 are sent during an incoming call. The name associated with the person number (indicated here as "Yamada") is displayed and a ring tone is sounded to notify the user of the incoming call (upper diagram in FIG. 9B). After the termination of the incoming call, by displaying the characters "incoming call" and the caller's name, the user can easily recognize the incoming call and the caller (Fig. 9 (b)). Figure). At that time, the incoming call history is
Since the information regarding the incoming call has been added and updated,
When the user displays the incoming call history, the information of the incoming call is called (FIG. 9 (b) lower diagram), and the user can dial the called party number by one-touch operation.

Further, in the case where the caller number is not transmitted from the caller, the characters "incoming" and "unknown number" are displayed during the incoming call and the ringing tone is sounded to notify the user of the incoming call. (The upper part of FIG. 9 (c)). Then, after the termination of the incoming call, the character "incoming call" is displayed so that the user can easily recognize the incoming call (the middle figure in FIG. 9 (c)). At that time, since the incoming call history is updated by adding the information regarding the incoming call, when the user displays the incoming call history, the information about the incoming call is called (FIG. 9 (c) lower diagram), and the caller number is unknown. Therefore, it is impossible to dial the caller, but it is possible to confirm the arrival time and the like.

[0013]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Recently, "There is an incoming call history of a phone number that is unfamiliar to the mobile phone, and when I call back the phone number, it was an adult program, a two-shot dial, an advertisement on a dating site, etc. There are many unsolicited calls, and many consultations have been sent to the Consumer Affairs Counseling Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and mobile phone companies.

[0014] This is a nuisance call commonly called "single call", and the caller randomly notifies the mobile phone of the caller ID to make a call and make a ring tone once (one call). By turning it off, you can leave the phone number of an adult program etc. in the incoming call history of the recipient's mobile phone.
It is a type of "SPAM mail" in e-mail that abuses the incoming call history storage function of a mobile phone. In some cases,
The situation is exacerbated by the fact that some people call back to the incoming call history a large amount of charges called "telephone program usage fee" and then a reminder call is made.

In the conventional portable telephone device, even such a "one-off" telephone is stored in the incoming call history without distinguishing it from other incoming calls, so that the user mistakenly calls the telephone number. There was a possibility that I would call back and get into unnecessary trouble.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a portable telephone device that discriminates a nuisance call, which is so-called "single cut", and does not leave it in the incoming call history. To aim.

[0017]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a portable telephone device, which includes an incoming call history storage unit for storing an incoming call history including a caller number, and a telephone number storage unit for registering and storing a predetermined telephone number. And a counter for counting the number of ringing sounds or the ringing time associated with the incoming call when the incoming call arrives,
A mobile phone device comprising: a control unit that controls updating of the incoming call history stored by the outgoing call history storage unit, wherein the control unit is a predetermined value of the number of ringing tones or ringing time counted by the counter. In the following, if the incoming call is interrupted and the incoming caller number is a number not registered in the telephone number storage unit, the incoming caller number is not recorded in the incoming call history. To do.

A mobile phone device according to a second aspect is the mobile phone device according to the first aspect, wherein the predetermined value is a value corresponding to one ringing tone. .

A mobile phone device according to a third aspect of the present invention is the mobile phone device according to the first aspect, wherein the predetermined value can be arbitrarily set by a user.

A mobile phone device according to a fourth aspect is the mobile phone device according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein all the incoming calls are stored in the incoming call history storage section as required by the user. It is characterized in that the control unit can also be set so as to control the update of the incoming call history so as to leave the caller number.

[0021]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION <First Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a portable telephone device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, 1 is an antenna for transmission and reception, 2 is a transmission / reception unit that performs a predetermined process for transmitting and receiving information using the antenna 1, 3 is a control unit that controls each element in the mobile phone device, and 4 is a telephone. A sounder for making a ringing tone (ring tone) when an incoming call arrives, 5 is a display unit for presenting information to the user, and 6 is a key input unit for the user to perform an operation. Reference numeral 7 is a speed dial storage unit as a phone number storage unit that stores a telephone number registered by the user in association with a predetermined speed dial number and name, and 8 is an incoming call history storage unit that stores an incoming call history. In addition, the user uses the key input unit 6
By operating, the setting of a predetermined function of the mobile phone device can be changed, and the setting content is stored in the setting information storage unit 9. Reference numeral 10 denotes a ring tone counter that counts the number of times the ring tone rings (number of ringing tones) when an incoming call arrives.

When an incoming signal of a telephone is received via the antenna 1 and the transmitting / receiving unit 2 in the standby state of the portable telephone device, the incoming signal is analyzed by the control unit 3, and the control unit 3 controls the sounder 4. Then, the ring tone is sounded and a screen showing the incoming call is displayed on the display unit 5. At this time, the ringtone counter 10 counts the number of ringtones.

When the user operates the key input unit 6 to respond to the incoming call and the call is started, the counting of the number of the incoming call tone by the incoming call tone counter 10 ends. After that, when the call ends, it returns to the standby state again. In this way, when the mobile phone returns to the standby state due to the end of the call, like the conventional mobile phone device, the control unit 3
Controls the incoming call history storage unit 8 to update the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 with information such as the date and time of the incoming call and the caller number.

On the other hand, when the user cannot respond to an incoming call, if the caller interrupts the outgoing call operation, the ringtone counter 10 finishes counting the number of the ringtone and returns to the standby state. In the present embodiment, when the caller returns to the standby state due to the interruption of the calling operation before the user answers the call (that is, when the incoming call is interrupted), the control unit 3 The number of ringing tones counted by the incoming call counter is 1 or less,
If the caller number of the incoming call is a number not registered in the speed dial storage unit 7, the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 is not updated. Thereby, the caller ID of the incoming call is not recorded in the incoming call history.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation in the portable telephone device according to the first embodiment when the calling operation is interrupted by the caller before the user answers the incoming call. The operation when the incoming call is interrupted in the mobile phone device according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to this figure.
When a call incoming signal is received via the antenna 1 and the transmitting / receiving unit 2 (S1), first, the control unit 3 sets the ring tone ringing count number (ring tone count number) counted by the ring tone counter 10 to 0. Is reset to (S2). And
While controlling the sounder 4 to sound a ring tone (S3), the "incoming call" character, the caller's number, or the caller's number is registered in the speed dial storage section 7 as a screen showing an incoming call on the display section 5. If so, the name or the like associated with it is displayed (S4). Ringtone counter 10
Increases the ring tone count number by 1 each time the ring tone is ringed once (S5). The above steps S3 to S5 are repeated until the caller interrupts the call and stops the call (S6).

When the incoming call is stopped, the control unit 3 causes the incoming call tone counter 10 to count up to 1 the incoming call tone count.
It is determined whether or not it is the following (S7), and processing is performed according to the number of ringing tones. Here, when the ring tone count number is larger than 1 (that is, the ring tone number is 2 or more), the control unit 3 displays the message “incoming call” or the like on the display unit 5 as in the conventional mobile phone device. , The caller number or the name corresponding to the caller number is displayed (S8), and the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 is added with the information such as the incoming call time and the outgoing caller number to obtain the incoming call history. Update (S9).

On the other hand, the ring tone count number is 1 or less (that is,
If the ringing frequency is 1 or less), then
The control unit 3 checks whether or not the caller number of the incoming call is registered in the speed dial storage unit 7 in advance (S10). Then, if there is no registration in the speed dial storage unit 7, it is determined that the incoming call is a so-called "one-off" nuisance call that comes from a caller number that the user does not recognize, and the display on the display unit 5 is displayed. Returning to the normal standby screen (S11), the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 is not updated so that the caller number of the incoming call does not remain in the incoming call history (S12). In other words,
The nuisance caller ID is deleted.

The ring tone count number is 1 or less (that is,
Even if the number of ringing is one or less), if it is determined in S11 that the caller number of the incoming call is registered in advance in the speed dial storage unit 7, the incoming call is not a nuisance call. When it is determined that the incoming call history is stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8, the control unit 3 causes the display unit 5 to display "incoming call", a caller number or a name corresponding to the caller number (S8). Information such as the time of arrival of the call and the caller's number is added to and the incoming call history is updated (S9).

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a screen transition on the display unit 5 in the case where the ringing tone is ringing less than once and the call is interrupted in the portable telephone device according to the first embodiment. Is. In FIG. 3A, the caller number is sent by the caller, but the caller number is not registered in the speed dial storage unit 7, FIG. 3B.
Is a case where the caller number is sent by the caller and the caller number is registered in the speed dial storage unit 7. In FIG. 3C, the caller number is not sent by the caller. Each case is shown.

First, in the case where the caller number is sent by the caller but is not registered in the speed dial storage unit 7, the character "calling" and the caller number are displayed on the display unit 5 during the call. (Here, "06XXXXXYYYY" is displayed) and the sounder 4 sounds a ring tone to notify the user of the incoming call (upper diagram of FIG. 3A). Then, when the incoming call stops when the ringing tone is less than once, the incoming call is determined to be a "one-off" nuisance call based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, and a normal standby screen (here, only the current time is displayed). Display) (Fig. 3 (a)
(Middle figure). Further, since the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 is not updated at that time, even if the user operates the key input unit 6 to display the incoming call history, the caller number of the nuisance call (“06XXXXXYYYY”) Is not displayed,
The caller number (indicated here as "03ZZZZWWWW") in the incoming call history before the nuisance call is called is called (FIG. 3 (a) lower diagram). Therefore, it is possible to avoid the situation where the user accidentally calls back to the "one-off" nuisance call due to carelessness or erroneous operation by the user, and it is possible to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Further, in the case where the caller number is sent by the caller and is registered in the speed dial storage section 7, even if the incoming call stops once and the incoming call is stopped, the call is displayed in FIG. Based on the flow chart shown, it is determined that the incoming call is not a nuisance call, and the screen of the display unit 5 is shown in FIG.
Transition as shown in. Note that the transition shown in FIG. 3B is similar to the transition in FIG. 9B described above, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted. In this case, even if the incoming call stops when the ring tone is less than once, by displaying the word "Incoming call" and the name of the caller after the incoming call stops Can be easily recognized (the middle figure in FIG. 3B). Further, since the incoming call history is updated by adding information regarding the incoming call, when the user displays the incoming call history, the information about the incoming call is called (see FIG. 3).
(B) The figure below), the user can dial the called party number by one-touch operation.

Although omitted in the flow chart shown in FIG. 2, the case where the caller number is not transmitted from the caller is clearly a "one-off" nuisance call aimed at causing the user to call back. Therefore, even if the incoming call is stopped when the ring tone is once or less, there is no problem even if the same processing as the conventional mobile phone device is performed. That is, similar to the conventional mobile phone device, if the screen of the display unit 5 is transited as shown in FIG. 3C and the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 is updated by adding information regarding the incoming call. Good. Note that FIG.
Since (c) is similar to FIG. 9 (c) described above, detailed description will be omitted.

As described above, according to the portable telephone device according to the present embodiment, the caller number of a so-called "one-off" nuisance call is not recorded in the incoming call history, so that the user's carelessness or erroneous operation may cause You can avoid a situation where you accidentally call back to a "one-off" nuisance call, and you can avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.

<Second Embodiment> In the first embodiment, the ring tone counter 10 counts the number of ringing tones, but in the second embodiment, the ring tone counter 10 rings the ringing tone. Time (ie, ringing time) shall be counted. Since the configuration of the mobile phone device according to the present embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. 1, description thereof will be omitted here.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing an operation in the portable telephone device according to the second embodiment when the calling operation is interrupted by the caller before the user answers the incoming call. The operation when the incoming call is interrupted in the mobile phone device according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to this figure.
When an incoming call signal is received (S21), first, the control unit 3 controls the ring tone counter 10 to start counting the ringing time (ring tone time) of the ring tone (S22).
Then, the sounder 4 is controlled to make the ringing tone sound (S
23) together with the "incoming call" character as a screen showing an incoming call on the display unit 5, the caller number, or the name associated with the caller number if the caller number is registered in the speed dial storage unit 7, etc. Is displayed (S24). Until the call is interrupted by the caller and the incoming call is stopped, the above S2
3 to S24 are repeated (S25).

When the incoming call is stopped, the control section 3 terminates the ringing tone time counting by the ringing tone counter 10 (S
26). That is, the ringing tone time counted at this time is
It is the ringing time for the incoming call. Then, it is determined whether or not the ringing tone time is equal to or less than the time X (sec) for one ringing of the ringing tone (S27), and processing is performed according to the ringing time of the ringing tone. Here, when the ringing tone time is longer than X (that is, the number of ringing tones is 2 or more), the control unit 3 causes the display unit 5 to "received" as in the conventional mobile phone device.
Is displayed, or the caller number or the name corresponding to it is displayed (S28), and information such as the time when the call is received and the caller number is added to the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8. The incoming call history is updated (S29).

On the other hand, when the ringing tone time is X or less (that is, the ringing frequency is 1 or less), the control unit 3 further sets the caller number of the incoming call to the speed dial storage unit 7 in advance.
Check if it is registered in (S3
0). Then, if there is no registration in the speed dial storage unit 7, it is determined that the incoming call is a so-called "one-off" nuisance call that comes from a caller number that the user does not recognize, and the display on the display unit 5 is displayed. The normal standby screen is restored (S31), and the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 is not updated so that the caller number of the incoming call is not left in the incoming call history (S32). That is, the caller ID of the unwanted call is deleted.

Even if the ringing tone time is X or less (that is, the ringing frequency is 1 or less), the caller number of the incoming call is registered in advance in the speed dial storage unit 7 in S30. If it is determined that the incoming call is not a nuisance call, the control unit 3 causes the display unit 5 to
"Incoming call" is displayed on the screen, or the caller number or the name corresponding to it is displayed (S28).
Information such as the time of arrival of the call and the caller's number is added to the incoming call history stored in to update the incoming call history (S29).

By the way, although omitted in the flow chart shown in FIG. 4, in the case where the caller number is not transmitted from the caller, it is obvious that the "one-off" nuisance call is aimed at making the user call back. Therefore, even if the incoming call is stopped when the ringing tone time is X or less, there is no problem even if the same processing as that of the conventional mobile phone device is performed. That is, the screen of the display unit 5 may be transited similarly to the conventional mobile phone device, and the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 may be updated by adding information regarding the incoming call.

In the present embodiment as well, as in the first embodiment, the caller number of a so-called "one-off" nuisance call is not recorded in the incoming call history, so the user may inadvertently call "one call" due to the user's carelessness or erroneous operation. It is possible to avoid the situation where you call back to a nuisance call, and to prevent you from getting into unnecessary trouble.

<Third Embodiment> In the above-described first and second embodiments, a nuisance call is made for an incoming call in which the number of ringing tones is 1 or less and the caller number is not registered in the speed dial storage unit 7. I was determined. However, for example, a "one-off" nuisance call originator may increase the time until the call is stopped and change the number of ringing tones to two or more. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of ringing tones used as a reference for determining a nuisance call is
The configuration is such that the user can change it arbitrarily.

The user can change the set value Y of the number of ringing of the ringing tone, which is used as the reference for the judgment of the nuisance call, by inputting through the key input unit 6, and the value of the set value Y is set in the setting information storage unit 9 Stored in.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation in the portable telephone device according to the third embodiment when the calling operation is interrupted by the caller before the user answers the incoming call. The operation when the incoming call is interrupted in the mobile phone device according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to this figure.
Note that in FIG. 5, steps that perform the same operations as in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

Here, it is assumed that the user presets, through the key input unit 6, the set value Y of the ringing number of ringing tones, which is used as the reference for determining the nuisance call. When an incoming call signal is received, the ringing time of the incoming call until the incoming call is stopped is counted in steps S1 to S6 as in the first embodiment. When the incoming call is stopped, the control unit 3 compares the ring tone count number that the ring tone counter 10 has counted up to that time with the setting value Y preset in the setting information storage unit 9 by the user, It is determined whether the ring tone count number is less than or equal to the set value Y (S7a), and the process according to the number of ringing tones is performed.

If the ring tone count number is greater than Y, the display section 5 displays "Incoming call", the caller number or the name corresponding to the caller number (S8),
The incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 is added with the information such as the incoming time and the caller number of the incoming call, and the incoming call history is updated (S9).

On the other hand, if the ring tone count is less than Y, it is further checked whether or not the caller number of the incoming call is registered in the speed dial storage unit 7 in advance (S10). If it is not registered in the speed dial storage unit 7, it is determined to be a nuisance call, the display of the display unit 5 is returned to the normal standby screen (S11), and the caller ID of the incoming call remains in the incoming call history. The incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage unit 8 is not updated (S12).

Even if the ring tone count is less than Y, if it is determined in S11 that the caller number of the incoming call is registered in advance in the speed dial storage unit 7, the incoming call is not accepted. It is determined that the call is not a nuisance call and the processes of steps S8 and S9 are performed.

Although not shown in the flow chart of FIG. 5, the case where the caller number is not transmitted from the caller is obviously not a nuisance call aimed at making the user call back, so the ring tone count number is set. Even if the incoming call is stopped when is less than Y, there is no problem even if the same processing as the conventional mobile phone device is performed.

According to the present embodiment, for example, even if the caller of the "one-off" nuisance call increases the time until the call is stopped and changes the number of ringing tones to two or more, the nuisance call By changing the number of ringing tones used as a criterion for determination to two times or more accordingly, it is possible to prevent the caller ID of the nuisance call from remaining in the incoming call history. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the nuisance call is erroneously called back due to the user's carelessness or erroneous operation, and it is possible to prevent an unnecessary trouble from being involved.

In the above description, the ring tone counter 10 is described as counting the number of ringing of the ring tone as in the first embodiment.
Alternatively, the ringing time of the ring tone may be counted. In that case, in the flow chart shown in FIG. 4, the user can arbitrarily change the set value of the ringing time X of the ringing tone, which is used as the reference for determining the nuisance call in step S27, without fixing the ringing tone to the time for one ringing tone. By doing so, it is obvious that the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained, and thus the detailed description thereof is omitted here.

<Embodiment 4> According to the portable telephone devices according to the above-described embodiments, no incoming call history regarding an incoming call determined as a so-called "one-cut" nuisance call remains. In other words, the incoming call history determined as a nuisance call is automatically deleted. However, depending on the user's preference and the situation in which he / she is placed, there may be a case where he / she wants to recognize the incoming call history regarding all incoming calls, even if a nuisance call is included. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the configuration is such that the user can arbitrarily set whether or not to perform the operation of determining whether or not it is a nuisance call, as needed. In other words, it is possible to set the caller numbers of all incoming calls in the incoming call history as required by the user.

The user can change the setting as to whether or not to judge the nuisance call by operating the key input unit 6, and the setting is stored in the setting information storage unit 9.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an operation in the portable telephone device according to the fourth embodiment when the calling operation is interrupted by the caller before the user answers the incoming call. In FIG. 6, the same steps as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

When the incoming signal of the telephone is received, the ringing time of the ringing tone until the incoming call is stopped is counted in steps S1 to S6 as in the first embodiment. Then, when the incoming call is stopped, the control unit 3 determines whether or not to perform the nuisance call determination based on the setting by the user stored in the setting information storage unit 9 (S30). If the user is not set to not judge the nuisance call, it is not judged whether or not the incoming call is a nuisance call and step S8 is performed.
And the processing of S9 is performed.

On the other hand, if the user has set not to judge the nuisance call, the process proceeds to step S7a to judge whether the incoming call is a nuisance call. Since the subsequent operation is the same as that of the third embodiment, the description is omitted.

According to the present embodiment, it is possible to leave an incoming call history regarding all incoming calls, even if it includes a nuisance call, depending on the user's preference or the situation in which the user puts it. Expands the range of use of telephone devices.

Since the "one-cut" nuisance call is currently directed to the mobile phone, the telephone device to which the present invention is applied is referred to as the mobile telephone device in the above description. However, even in general erected telephone devices, those having a "number display" function capable of displaying a caller's number have become widespread in recent years, and such a nuisance call can be extended to erected telephones. There is plenty of potential. In that case, it is needless to say that the present invention can be easily applied to the erected telephone device, and the same effects as those described above can be obtained.

According to the portable telephone device of the present invention, the control section causes the incoming call to be interrupted when the number of ringing sounds counted by the counter or the ringing time is equal to or less than a predetermined value, and the caller of the incoming call. When the number is not registered in the telephone number storage unit, the caller number of the incoming call is not recorded in the received call history, so that the caller number of a so-called "one-off" nuisance call is not recorded in the received call history. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the situation where the user accidentally calls back to the "one-off" nuisance call due to carelessness or erroneous operation by the user, and it is possible to prevent unnecessary trouble.

According to the mobile phone device of the second aspect,
In the mobile phone device according to claim 1, the predetermined value is
Since the value corresponds to one ringing tone, the caller ID of a so-called "one-off" nuisance call that is cut off by one ringing tone does not remain in the incoming call history. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the situation where the user accidentally calls back to the "one-off" nuisance call due to carelessness or erroneous operation by the user, and it is possible to prevent unnecessary trouble.

According to the mobile phone device of the third aspect,
The mobile phone device according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined value is
Since it can be set arbitrarily by the user, even if a caller of a "one-off" nuisance call extends the time until the call is stopped and the number of ringing tones is changed to two or more times, the user responds accordingly. By changing the number of ringing sounds of the nuisance call that is used as a criterion for determining a nuisance call, the caller ID of the nuisance call can be prevented from remaining in the incoming call history. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the nuisance call is erroneously called back due to the user's carelessness or erroneous operation, and it is possible to prevent an unnecessary trouble from being involved.

According to the portable telephone device of the fourth aspect,
In the mobile phone device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the control unit controls the update of the incoming call history so that the caller numbers of all incoming calls are left in the incoming call history storage unit according to the user's need. It is also possible to set so that the incoming call history of all incoming calls can be kept regardless of whether there is a nuisance call or not according to the user's preference and the situation in which the user is placed, and the mobile phone device according to the present invention. The use range of is expanded.
