Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile phone capable of setting diversified incoming call notices at the arrival of an incoming call from a particular caller. <P>SOLUTION: A user operates an entry section 3 in advance to register incoming call notice conditions (caller ID number, identification notice mode, timer setting time, and LED luminescent color) by each of particular callers to a memory 5. A wireless section 2 outputs incoming call information including a caller ID number to a control section 13 at the arrival of the incoming call. The control section 13 references the incoming notice conditions registered in the memory 5 on the basis of the caller ID number included in the incoming call information and instructs an LED drive section 12 to drive LEDs in a luminescent color registered in the memory 5 when the incoming call comes from a particular caller. Further, the control section 13 controls a ring tone drive section 8 and a vibrator drive section 10 in response to the incoming call notice mode (ringing / vibration) registered in the memory 5. When the vibration mode is set, the control section 13 sets the timer setting time registered in the memory 5 to a timer 6 and switches the mode from the vibration mode to the ring tone mode when no reply is made within the set time when the vibration mode is set. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which a radio unit 2 for transmitting and receiving to and from a radio base station via an antenna 1, an input unit 3 for a user to set a condition for an incoming call report, A display unit 4 for displaying various information; a memory 5 for storing an incoming call report condition for each specific caller set by a user; a timer 6 for measuring a set time; a speaker 7; , A vibrator 9, a vibration drive unit 10 for driving the vibrator 9 when an incoming call is reported, a plurality of LEDs (light emitting elements) 11 having different emission colors, and a plurality of LEDs when the incoming call is reported. And a control unit 13 that controls each unit by receiving incoming information from the wireless unit 2 when receiving an incoming call.
[0015]
Here, the incoming call information transmitted from the wireless unit 2 to the control unit 13 at the time of the incoming call includes the ID number of the caller provided from the network.
[0016]
The incoming call notification conditions stored in the memory 5 are, for example, a caller ID number, an incoming call notification mode, a timer setting time, an LED emission color, and the like for each specific caller, as shown in FIG.
[0017]
Next, the operation will be described.
[0018]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control unit 13.
[0019]
Here, it is assumed that the user operates the input unit 3 in advance and registers the incoming call notification condition for each specific sender in the memory 5 as shown in FIG. It is also assumed that a sound mode or a vibration mode is selected as a normal incoming call notification mode.
[0020]
First, the control unit 13 receives the incoming call information from the wireless unit 2 (step 101), and refers to the incoming call report condition registered in the memory 5 based on the caller ID number included in the incoming call information (step 102). ), It is confirmed whether or not the call is from a specific sender (step 103).
[0021]
In the case of an incoming call from a specific sender, it is checked whether or not the LED emission color is specified as the incoming call notification condition (step 104). If the emission color is specified, the LED of the corresponding emission color is driven. Is instructed to the LED driving section 12 (step 105).
[0022]
Next, it is checked whether the incoming call notification mode is the ringing mode or the vibration mode (step 106). If the vibration mode is designated, the timer setting time is further checked (step 107), and the timer setting time is checked. If so, the designated time is set in the timer 6 (step 108).
[0023]
Then, the timer 6 is started (step 109), and the vibration driving unit 10 is instructed to drive the vibrator 9 (step 110). Thereafter, if the user senses the incoming call and responds (step 111), the control unit 10 instructs the vibration drive unit 10 to stop driving the vibrator 9 and ends the control operation (step 112).
[0024]
Even if the state where the user does not respond continues, when the set time of the timer 6 elapses (step 113), the driving of the vibrator 9 is instructed to the vibration driving unit 10 (step 114), and the speaker 7 is turned off. It instructs the sound drive unit 8 to drive (step 115).
[0025]
Thereafter, if the user senses the incoming call and responds (step 116), the user instructs the sound drive unit 8 to stop driving the speaker 7 and ends the control operation (step 117).
[0026]
If the sound mode is designated in step 106, the sound driver 8 is instructed to drive the speaker 7 (step 115), and the user senses the incoming call and responds. If this is the case (step 116), the drive stop of the speaker 7 is instructed to the sound driver 8 to end the control operation (step 117).
[0027]
If the timer setting time is not specified in step 107, a predetermined time is set in the timer 6 (step 119), and then the operation from step 109 is performed.
[0028]
By causing the LED to emit light corresponding to a specific sender, the sender can be easily identified by observing the light emission of the LED. In this case, if a plurality of LEDs having different emission colors are combined to emit light, the number of identifiable callers can be increased.
[0029]
If it is determined in step 103 that the incoming call is not from a specific caller, if the incoming call notification mode selected by the user is the vibration mode (step 118), a predetermined time is set in the timer 6 (step 119). The operation after step 109 is performed. If the incoming call notification mode selected by the user is the ringing mode (step 118), the operation after step 115 is performed. .
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when a user registers an incoming call report condition for each specific caller in advance, various incoming call reports can be made at the time of an incoming call from a specific caller. In addition, by combining a plurality of LEDs having different emission colors to emit light corresponding to a specific sender, the specific sender can be easily identified by observing the light emission of the LEDs.
