Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile phone terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile phone terminal provided with an incoming call operation control unit that processes an incoming call from a third party during communication.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, mobile telephone terminals such as mobile telephones and PHSs have been used in various aspects along with an increase in their diffusion rate and permeation into daily life. In addition, it is expected that the use of a mobile phone terminal for personal and commercial purposes with emphasis on communication with a specific party will improve its convenience. For example, if there is an incoming call from a third party during a call with another party, regardless of whether the call is busy or incoming, the individual will first preferentially connect to the specific party that is considered important. It is.

  Taking a conventional mobile phone as an example, if one wants to prioritize a connection with a specific party, one of them is to input a caller ID (for example, the phone number of the other party) notified from the network side when receiving a call. It has been practiced to check the status using a display of a mobile phone and manually operate rejection of incoming calls and the like.

  For example, if the user wants to give priority to the call currently being talked when a second call arrives in a busy state, the user may leave the incoming call state and wait for the receiving party to disconnect, or In some cases, the call is put on hold, the incoming call is answered / disconnected, and then the call with the other party is resumed.

  In addition, the user registers in advance a specific number as a number to permit or reject a call from a destination telephone number stored in a mobile phone or a facsimile apparatus, and the mobile phone is automatically notified from the network when the first call is received. A function of comparing a caller number (for example, the telephone number of the other party) with the registration number and permitting or rejecting only a specific incoming call that matches (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP-A-10-233850

  However, in the former case, manual operations such as rejection of incoming calls are required during important conversations with the specific party, which significantly impairs convenience and gives a problem of giving an unpleasant feeling to the important party.

  In the latter case, it is assumed that the caller ID is notified from the network side, and calls from users who refuse the caller ID notification service and calls from networks that do not implement the caller ID notification service are received. There is a problem that does not work. As described above, in any of the above cases, the means for reliably disconnecting the incoming call is insufficient.

  Furthermore, in order to further improve the convenience of using a mobile phone terminal, it is necessary not only to restrict incoming calls during a call as in the past, but also to It is strongly desired to realize various restriction methods such as restriction of interruption.

  In view of the above-described various problems, an object of the present invention is to specify a priority communication destination by a telephone alone, and to automatically reject a second incoming call during communication with the priority communication destination when the second incoming call is received. An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone terminal with a communication destination designation function. As a result, the user himself / herself does not need to judge permission / rejection for each incoming call and the necessary operation, and can surely restrict incoming calls other than the priority designation even when there is no caller ID notification from the network side.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide means for assigning a priority of a plurality of levels to each priority communication destination when registering the priority communication destination. As a result, the communication of a higher priority communication destination is maintained, while the operation of a communication destination other than the above priority communication destination can be specified for a communication destination of lower priority.

  It is a further object of the present invention to provide means for registering a caller as a priority communication destination in a memory when a communication state is established due to an incoming call. As a result, there is no need to register the priority communication destination in advance or fixedly, and the convenience of using the priority communication is remarkably improved.

  According to the present invention, if it is determined by referring to the priority communication destination storage means and the priority communication destination storage means that the communication is with the priority communication destination, further communication during the communication with the priority communication destination is performed. When an incoming call is received, there is provided a mobile phone terminal comprising: a control unit for performing the automatic incoming call rejection process for the further incoming call while maintaining the communication.

  Further, according to the present invention, the control unit performs the automatic incoming call rejection process when the priority of communication with the priority communication destination is higher than the priority of the further incoming call. When the control unit determines that the communication with the priority communication destination is in a communication state, the control unit includes a display unit for displaying that priority communication is being performed.

  Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a storage means for storing, as the priority communication destination, the telephone number information of the caller acquired at the time of the incoming call when the communication state is established by the incoming call.

  According to the present invention, since the mobile phone terminal itself has a configuration capable of uniquely specifying the priority communication destination, during the communication with the priority communication destination, the incoming call processing by the third party can be surely restricted.

  Further, in the case of the regulation, by setting a plurality of priorities, the same regulation operation as described above can be applied to an incoming call having a low priority.

  Further, even during communication, by recognizing a communication partner as a priority communication destination, the above-described function can be added to the mobile phone terminal as necessary without setting in advance.

FIG. 1 shows a block configuration of a mobile phone terminal having a priority call destination designation function as a specific example of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a mobile phone terminal 10 includes a wireless unit 11 for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal to and from a network device (base station; see FIG. 2), a speaker 13, an input / output device, a keypad 14, and an LCD panel 15. A terminal for processing signal information transmitted / received between the radio unit 11 and the input / output devices 13 to 15 and for controlling various operations of the entire telephone based on action information given by a user via the keypad 14 And a control unit 12.

The terminal control unit 12 has the following blocks.
The operation input / display control unit 24 performs key input control and display control for the keypad 14 and the LCD panel 15. Further, the operation input / display control unit 24 transmits and receives information related to the control between the transmission control unit 21 and the incoming call control unit 22, and stores the destination telephone number in the destination number registration memory 26. Further, it accesses the number processing unit 23 in response to a request from a user or the like.

  A plurality of storage units 25 to 28 are constituted by memory devices, a caller number registration memory 25 stores a caller number of an incoming call, a destination number registration memory 26 stores a plurality of destination telephone numbers, and a priority destination designation number. The registration memory 27 holds the number selected as the priority call destination, and the restriction operation registration memory 28 stores the restriction operation instruction contents for the incoming call to be restricted.

  The transmission control unit 21 obtains information (for example, the telephone number of the other party) input by the user via the keypad 14 via the operation input / display control unit 24, and transmits the information to / from the network via the wireless unit 11. Controls the start and execution of operations. Also, at the time of calling, the number information registered in advance is obtained from the caller number registration memory 25 and the destination number registration memory 26, and the number processing unit 23 is inquired of whether or not the obtained number information has priority call destination registration. .

  The incoming call control unit 22 extracts the caller number, which is the destination telephone number, from the information of the incoming call received from the network via the wireless unit 11, notifies the number processing unit 23 of the caller number, and gives priority to the caller number. Inquires whether there is a call destination registration. Further, the control operation for the incoming call is started and executed based on the result of the inquiry.

The number processing unit 23 is called by the transmission control unit 21, the incoming call control unit 22, and the operation input / display control unit 24 as necessary, and performs registration, reading, collation, and the like of the acquired number information. It is mainly composed of the following three blocks.
The caller number registration unit 31 acquires the caller number extracted by the incoming call control unit 22 when receiving a call, and stores this in the caller number registration memory 25.

  The priority destination number registration unit 32 is arbitrarily selected by the user from the input number information input from the operation input / display control unit 24 or the number information read from the caller number registration memory 25 and the destination number registration memory 26. The number information is stored in the priority call destination designation number registration memory 27. At this time, a plurality of pieces of number information can be registered from the destination number registration memory 26, and data indicating a priority order for application of regulation can be added to each number information.

  In addition, the priority call destination number registration unit 32 issues a regulation operation instruction (for example, only disconnection, call forwarding, , Answering machine, etc.) are registered in the regulation operation registration memory 28.

  The priority call destination number matching unit 33 compares the number information notified from the calling control unit 21 and the incoming call control unit 22 with the priority call destination number information stored in the priority call destination designation number registration memory 27 in advance, It is determined whether or not the notified outgoing call or incoming call number information matches the priority call destination number information.

  When the priority called party number checking unit 33 determines that the second incoming call during the priority call is not the priority called party due to the mismatch of the matching result, the priority called party number checking unit 33 reads the corresponding regulation registration content from the regulation operation registration memory 28, and Instructs the navel operation.

  As is clear from the configuration of the mobile phone terminal 10 according to the present invention, according to the present invention, the other party's telephone number that is to be the priority destination in advance or at the time of calling by the user's arbitrary operation is stored in the priority destination designation number registration memory 27. You can register. Therefore, when making a call, when the call state is changed, the other party number as the call destination is compared with the priority call destination number registered in the priority call destination designation number registration memory 27, and the mobile phone terminal 10 makes this call. It can be recognized as the priority destination.

  When a call is received, the caller number extracted from the incoming call information is held in the caller number registration memory 25, and the number can be registered in the priority call destination designation number registration memory 27 as a priority call destination by a user's arbitrary operation. . Therefore, thereafter, the mobile phone terminal 10 recognizes this call as a priority call destination. For example, even if a second call arrives during this priority call, it is regarded as an unnecessary call and regulation such as disconnection is performed. The operation can be performed. In this case, it is possible to refer to the caller number information in the second incoming call or to perform forced disconnection without referring to the caller number information.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to automatically start a transfer to another telephone other than disconnection or an answering machine function as a network service in accordance with the contents specified in the restriction operation registration memory 28. At this time, the restriction operation is executed for a call having a lower priority from among the plurality of priority destinations by referring to the priority added to the priority destination number in the priority destination specification number registration memory 27. be able to.

FIGS. 2 to 12 show examples of various operation / control sequence charts between the mobile phone terminal with a priority call destination designation function according to the present invention and a network device (base station and other party's phone).
2 and 3 show an example of a sequence chart when a call is received from a priority call destination. For easy understanding, the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals (the same applies to FIGS. 4 to 12 below).

  In FIG. 2, when a call is received from a partner (telephone 1), which has been registered as a priority call destination in advance, via the network side to the mobile phone terminal 10 with a priority call destination designation function according to the present invention (S11), a caller number registration unit is provided. Reference numeral 31 registers the telephone number (caller number) of the partner telephone set 1 in the caller number registration memory 25. In addition, the priority call destination number collating unit 33 compares the priority call destination designation number already registered in the priority call destination designation number registration memory 27 with the caller number, and detects a matching number in this example. .

  The mobile phone terminal 10 determines that a call started thereafter is a priority call based on the collation result, and the user responds to the incoming call (S12) and receives a connection request response (CONN ACK (CR1)) from the network side. Then, "display during priority call" is performed on the LCD panel 15 via the operation input / display control unit 24 (S13). Thereafter, the state transits to the priority busy state (S14).

FIG. 3 shows an example of a sequence chart when an incoming call is received from another telephone 2 not registered in the priority call destination designation in the priority call state.
Upon receiving the call request (SETUP (CR2)) from the telephone 2 via the network, the mobile phone terminal 10 performs "call incoming display" on the LCD panel 15 or using a corresponding incoming tone or the like (S15).

  Next, as in FIG. 2, the caller number registration unit 31 registers the telephone number (caller number) of the other party's telephone 2 in the caller number registration memory 25, and the priority call destination number collating unit 33 outputs the priority call destination designation number. The caller number is collated by the registration memory 27, and there is no corresponding number in this example.

  The mobile phone terminal 10 determines from the collation result that the partner of the incoming call request is not the priority call destination, automatically sends a disconnection request (DISC (CR2)) to the network side, Is turned off (S16 and 17). Thereafter, the mobile phone terminal 10 maintains the state during the priority call (S18), and the normal disconnection process is executed for the telephone 2.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to omit the processing indicated by the dotted frame 41 in FIG. That is, when there is an incoming call in the state of a priority call, all incoming calls (including incoming calls from the priority call destination and other telephones) are forcibly disconnected. In this case, the caller number of the called party is not required, and incoming calls other than the priority designation can be surely restricted even without notification of the caller number from the network side.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show examples of sequence charts when there is an incoming call from a destination other than the priority call destination.
In FIG. 5, the telephone 1 other than the priority call destination receives a call to the mobile phone terminal 10 with a priority call destination designation function according to the present invention via the network side (S21). The caller number registration unit 31 and the priority called number verification unit 33 function in the same manner as in FIG. However, the collation result has no corresponding number.

  As a result, the mobile phone terminal 10 determines that a normal call is started thereafter, and when the user receives the connection request response (CONN ACK (CR1)) from the network side in response to the incoming call (S22), the normal call is started. A "calling display" is performed (S23), and the state is changed to a normal talking state (S24). Thus, in this example, a normal incoming call sequence is executed.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a sequence in which the user newly registers the current called party (telephone 1) as a priority called party in the normal busy state (S24).
In this case, the user operates the keypad 14 during a call to instruct designation of a priority call destination. Thereby, the priority called party number registration unit 32 registers the calling party number of the telephone 1 stored in the calling party number registration memory 25 in the priority called party designated number registration memory 27. As a result, "display during priority call" is performed (S26), and a transition is made from the normal call state (S24) to the priority call state (S27).

FIG. 6 shows an example of a sequence when a call is made to a priority call destination using the mobile phone terminal 10 according to the present invention.
In FIG. 6, upon receiving a call request notification (S31) by a user operation, the priority call destination number collating unit 33 registers the registered priority call destination designation number and the input telephone number of the call destination (telephone 1) or the destination. The corresponding telephone numbers stored in the number registration memory 26 and the caller number registration memory are read and collated.

  In this example, a matching number is detected, and this outgoing call is determined to be a priority call destination. As a result, the "calling priority display" is displayed by the response of the telephone set 1 of the call destination (S32), and the state transits to the priority calling state (S33). Although not shown in the drawing, after a call is made to a telephone other than the priority call destination and a normal call state is established, the other party is registered as a priority call destination by the same procedure as in FIG. Of course, it is also possible to change the call state to the priority call state.

7 to 9 show examples of various service sequences provided to a destination other than a priority destination during a priority call.
FIG. 7 shows a basic sequence that is first executed when the mobile phone terminal 10 according to the present invention receives a call from the telephone 2 other than the priority call destination during a priority call with the telephone 1 of the priority call destination (S41). This is almost the same as the processing in the upper half of FIG. However, in FIG. 3, the "call rejection" sequence as a basic process is executed as shown in the lower half thereof, but in this example, as shown in the following examples of FIGS. Perform network service functions automatically.

First, in FIG. 8, a "call transfer" sequence is executed instead of the call rejection.
That is, in FIG. 7, when the caller number registration unit 31 and the priority called number checking unit 33 determine that the collation result of the telephone 2 does not match, here, the priority called number checking unit 33 stores the restriction operation registration memory 28. The type of the applicable regulated service registered in advance is detected with reference to the type. In addition, the applicable regulation service itself may be a single service designated in advance, or one of a plurality of services may be selected as shown in FIGS.

  In FIG. 8, the "call transfer" service is designated, and the mobile phone terminal 10 requests the network for a call transfer service for the telephone 2 of the second call (S43 and S44). Thereafter, the ordinary call transfer service for the telephone 2 is performed on the network side (S47), while the mobile telephone terminal 10 maintains the priority busy state with the previous telephone 1 (S46).

  FIG. 9 is the same as FIG. 8, except that the type of the applicable regulated service is the “answering machine” service. Therefore, in this example, the mobile telephone terminal 10 requests the answering service for the telephone 2 of the second incoming call to the network side (S43 'and 44'). Thereafter, the ordinary answering service for the telephone 2 is performed on the network side (S47 '), and the mobile telephone terminal 10 maintains the priority busy state with the previous telephone 1 (S46').

FIGS. 10 to 12 show a sequence example in a case where there is an incoming call from a partner of a priority call destination during a priority call.
Up to now, all subsequent second incoming calls during a priority call have been described as being from parties other than the priority call destination. Here, an example is shown in which the subsequent second incoming call is from the priority destination. According to the sequence shown in FIG. 3, when the process of the dotted frame 41 is omitted, the other party of the second incoming call is disconnected regardless of whether it is the priority destination. Become.

  In this example, priority is given to the priority number of the priority destination newly to the registration number of the priority destination designation number registration memory 27, so that a call with a higher priority priority destination is prioritized regardless of before or after receiving a call. It is constituted so that. On the other hand, in addition to the basic process of “rejection of call” (see FIG. 3), various services on the network side (see FIGS. 8 and 9) and the like are provided to the lower priority call destination. You.

  First, in FIG. 10, as in FIG. 2, the mobile phone terminal 10 enters the priority talking state due to an incoming call from the telephone 1 of the priority calling party (S51 to S54). Next, in FIG. 11, if there is a second incoming call from the telephone 2 of the priority call destination in the priority call state (S55), as described above, the caller number registration unit 31 and the priority call destination number collation unit 33 determines that the collation results of the telephone 2 match.

  The priority call destination number collating unit 33 further refers to the priority order of the priority call destination assigned to the registration number in the priority call destination designation number registration memory 27, and communicates with the other party (telephone 1) currently in priority call and the subsequent first call destination. (2) The priority of the call with the other party of the incoming call (telephone 2) is determined. This example shows a case where the subsequent party (telephone 2) has a higher priority. When the user answers the second call (S56), a connection request is sent to the network side (S57).

  Thereafter, a normal call waiting service (three-way call) sequence is started between the mobile phone terminal 10 and the network side (S58 and 59). However, the state of the priority call is continued on the mobile phone terminal 10 side. That is, first, the telephone 1 is put on hold, and the telephone 2 is in a priority call (S60). Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the user sends a disconnection request for the telephone set 2 to the network side, and when the disconnection request is disconnected, an incoming call from the telephone set 1 is established (S61 to S63).

  When the user answers the incoming call, the telephone 1 is again in the priority call state (S64-66). In this example, the application example of the call waiting service has been described. However, as described above, it is possible to provide “call rejection” and various services on the network side to a low priority call destination. It is.

  As described above, in the present invention, since the mobile phone terminal itself has a configuration capable of uniquely specifying the priority call destination, when making a call from the mobile phone terminal, the mobile phone terminal is not allowed to call the destination number registered in advance as the priority call destination. It is possible to recognize whether or not the other party is the priority call destination by collation, and by collating with the caller ID of the other party notified from the network side when receiving a call, as long as the other party is talking with the priority call destination It is possible to reliably restrict interruption due to an incoming call from three parties.

  Also, in the case of the restriction, a plurality of priority destinations are designated and a plurality of priorities are set to them, so that the same restriction operation as described above is applied to an incoming call having a low priority. It is also possible.

  Furthermore, even during a normal call, it is possible to recognize the other party as a priority call destination at the discretion of the user, and the above functions can be added to the mobile phone terminal as necessary without setting in advance. It is possible to do.

  Furthermore, a disconnection operation can be automatically executed for the second incoming call to be restricted, and various functions such as a transfer operation and an answering machine can be selectively activated by a method specified in advance in addition to the disconnection. It is also possible to specify. As a result, the user can obtain information without omission.
