Description

  The present invention relates to a telephone device having an incoming call history display function.

  In general, a telephone device such as a home phone or a mobile phone receives an incoming call history for a call that has notified the caller's number as the incoming call date, caller's phone number, caller's name, group name, and incoming call. An incoming call type indicating whether or not a response has been displayed is displayed, and a missed call, that is, an incoming call that has ended without a response, a character, an icon, or the like indicating that is displayed in the incoming call history (Patent Document 1). reference).

  In addition, there is a technique that makes it easy to determine information such as missed calls by changing part or all display colors of the incoming call history according to circumstances (see Patent Document 2).

  In addition, there is a system in which the number of missed calls that have occurred can be recognized by setting the mode to measure and display the number of missed calls (see Patent Document 3).

  However, with a conventional telephone device, for missed calls, there is no distinction from other incoming calls except that a mark indicating it remains in the incoming call history, even if the total number of missed calls can be grasped, There was a problem that there was no index for reading the importance of each incoming call, such as how much thought the other party made the call made for the incoming call that was missed.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the telephone apparatus which can give the parameter | index for reading the importance about the incoming call of each missed call to the user of the telephone apparatus which made the missed call can be provided.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a telephone device showing an example of the best mode for carrying out the present invention, and exemplifies a case where the telephone device of the present invention is applied to a mobile telephone device.

  This telephone apparatus includes an antenna 1 for transmitting / receiving incoming / outgoing signals, a transmission / reception unit 2 and a transmission / reception signal processing unit 3 for controlling and processing incoming / outgoing signals, audio signals input / output from a receiver 5, a microphone 6 and a speaker 7. A voice control unit 4 for controlling the phone, a memory 8 for storing registration information such as a telephone directory and an incoming history, a main control unit 9 for controlling the operation of each function of the telephone device, and a display unit 11 such as a liquid crystal display. Recognize the display control unit 10 to control, the vibrator control unit 12 to control the vibrator 13, the LED control unit 14 to control the LED 15, the incoming call count unit 16 to count the number of calls and the call time for each incoming call, key input, etc. A key operation unit 17 to be controlled is provided.

  Next, according to the flowchart of FIG. 2, the setting procedure of the incoming call history display in this embodiment will be described.

  First, in the normal standby state, that is, in the normal mode, the mode is entered in which the key operation unit 17 is operated to set the incoming call history display information (step S1). Then, a menu item for setting “display incoming call history” is displayed on the display unit 11 (step S2). Here, it is selected whether to keep the initial settings or to set options (step S3). When “Initial setting” is selected (N0 in Step S3), the default incoming call history display setting remains unchanged, and the initial setting display items are the incoming date and time, the caller telephone number, and the caller telephone number. The caller name to be displayed is set to be displayed on the incoming call history screen (steps S9 and S10). The caller name is displayed only when the caller's telephone number and name are registered in advance in the phone book area in the memory 8 (the same applies hereinafter).

  If option setting is selected (YES in step S3), as a menu item: 1. Number of incoming calls 2. Incoming call time display The incoming call count & time display is displayed, and it is possible to select which of 1 to 3 is added to the incoming call history display (steps S3 and S4).

  Here, if “1. Display the number of incoming calls” is selected and the display is set to ON, the number of incoming calls is added to the initial display items, including the incoming call date and time, caller number and caller name, and the incoming call history It is set to display on the screen (steps S5 to S8).

  In addition, when “2. Incoming call time display” is selected and the display is set to ON, the incoming call time is also added to the initial display items, the incoming call date and time, the caller number, and the caller name, and the incoming call time is also displayed. It is set to display on the screen (steps S11 to S14).

  In addition, when “3. Incoming Call Count & Time Display” is selected and the display is set to ON, it is added to the initial display items such as the incoming date and time, the caller ID, and the caller name, The incoming call time is also set to be displayed on the incoming call history screen (steps S15 to S17).

  By the way, in any of the cases 1, 2, and 3, if the display is not set to ON, the process proceeds to (A), and the incoming call history of “initial setting” is displayed. The name of the sender is displayed (steps S9 and S10). After the setting of “incoming call history display” is completed, the mode returns to the normal mode (steps S18 and S19).

  Next, the control contents for recording the number of calls and the call time for each incoming call will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  The incoming call signal transmitted from the base station is received by the antenna 1 and processed by the transmission / reception unit 2 and the transmission / reception signal processing unit 3. When there is an incoming call (YES in step S20), the main control section 9 records and stores the incoming call date and time in the memory 8 (step S21), identifies the caller telephone number included in the incoming call signal, and is registered in the memory 8 If there is a match with the telephone number data in the current telephone directory, the telephone number and the corresponding sender name data are stored in the memory 8 (step S22).

  Here, as described with reference to FIG. 2, when the “incoming call history display” setting is set in advance to display the number of incoming calls and the incoming call time in one incoming call in the incoming call history, the main control unit 9 The incoming call count unit 16 is made to count the number of incoming calls and the call time while the incoming call continues (steps S24 to S26). Then, the number of incoming calls and the measurement result of the call time are stored in the memory 8 (step S27). Here, when the user notices the incoming call and responds by operating the speaker 7, the LED 15, the vibrator 13, etc. when receiving the incoming call (YES in step S 28), the main control unit 9 recognizes the incoming response (step S 29). ), (B), that is, the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG.

  If the call is not answered and the call is cut off (NO in step S28), it is recognized as a missed call (step S30), and the flow proceeds to (C), that is, the flow of FIG. Since FIG. 1 shows an example of a wireless mobile telephone device, it is an incoming call signal transmitted from the base station. However, in the case of a wired telephone device, an incoming call signal transmitted from the telephone station is shown. Thus, instead of the antenna 1, a telephone line is equivalent.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 2, when the “incoming call history display” setting is set in advance so that the number of incoming calls and the incoming call time for one incoming call are not displayed in the incoming call history, that is, when the initial setting is maintained, When responding to the incoming call (YES in step S31), the main control unit 9 recognizes the incoming call response (step S34), and proceeds to (D) of FIG. If the incoming call is disconnected without answering (NO in steps S31 and S32), it is recognized as a missed call (step S33), and the process proceeds to (E) in FIG.

  In the flow of FIG. 4, “1. Incoming call number display”, “2. Incoming call time display” or “3. Incoming call number & time display” is selected and “Display ON setting” is selected in the option setting of FIG. This is a subsequent flow when an incoming call response is made in a state where "" is selected (step S29).

  When “1. Display of number of incoming calls” is selected, the main control unit 9 stores information on the date and time of incoming calls, the caller telephone number, the name of the caller, and the number of incoming calls for each incoming call as the incoming call history. (Steps S35 and S36). The caller name information is generated only when the phone number of the caller is registered in advance in the phone book area in the memory 8 (the same applies hereinafter). Thereafter, the process returns to the normal mode (step S37). When the user refers to “incoming call history” (step S38), an incoming call history as shown in step S39 in the figure is displayed on the incoming call history screen. Thereafter, the reference to the “incoming history” is terminated and the process returns to the “normal mode” (steps S49 and S50).

  When “2. Incoming call time display” is selected, the main control unit 9 displays the incoming call date and time, the caller telephone number, the caller name, and the information of the incoming call time for each incoming call as the incoming call history. It is generated in the memory 8 (steps S35, S40, S41). Thereafter, the process returns to the normal mode (step S42). When the user refers to “incoming history” (step S43), the incoming history as in step S44 is displayed. Thereafter, the reference to the “incoming history” is terminated and the process returns to the “normal mode” (steps S49 and S50).

  When “3. Number of incoming calls & time display” is selected, the main control unit 9 displays the incoming call date and time, the caller telephone number, the caller name, the number of incoming calls for each incoming call, and the incoming call as the incoming call history. Call time information is generated in the memory 8 (steps S35, S40, S45). Thereafter, the process returns to the normal mode (step S46). When the user refers to “incoming history” (step S47), the incoming history as shown in the step S48 in the figure is displayed. Thereafter, the reference to the “incoming history” is terminated and the process returns to the “normal mode” (steps S49 and S50).

  In the flow of FIG. 5, “1. Incoming call number display”, “2. Incoming call time display” or “3. Incoming call number & time display” is selected and “Display ON setting” is selected in the option setting of FIG. This is a subsequent flow when a missed call is received in a state where "" is selected (step S30).

  When “1. Display of number of incoming calls” is selected, the main control unit 9 stores information on the date and time of incoming calls, the caller telephone number, the name of the caller, and the number of incoming calls for each incoming call as the incoming call history. (Steps S51 and S52). Thereafter, the process returns to the normal mode (step S53). When the user refers to “incoming history” (step S54), the incoming history as in step S55 is displayed. Thereafter, the reference to the “incoming history” is terminated and the process returns to the “normal mode” (steps S65 and S66).

  When “2. Incoming call time display” is selected, the main control unit 9 displays the incoming call date and time, the caller telephone number, the caller name, and the information of the incoming call time for each incoming call as the incoming call history. It is generated in the memory 8 (steps S51, S56, S57). Thereafter, the process returns to the normal mode (step S58). When the user refers to “incoming history” (step S59), the incoming history as in step S60 is displayed. Thereafter, the reference to the “incoming history” is terminated and the process returns to the “normal mode” (steps S65 and S66).

  When “3. Number of incoming calls & time display” is selected, the main control unit 9 displays the incoming call date and time, the caller telephone number, the caller name, the number of incoming calls for each incoming call, and the incoming call as the incoming call history. Call time information is generated in the memory 8 (steps S51, S56, S61). Thereafter, the process returns to the normal mode (step S62). When the user refers to “incoming history” (step S63), the incoming history as in step S64 is displayed. Thereafter, the reference to the “incoming history” is terminated and the process returns to the “normal mode” (steps S65 and S66).

  The flow of FIG. 6 is a subsequent flow when an incoming call response is made (step S34) or a missed call is received (step S33) in a state where “initial setting” is selected.

  (D) That is, when an incoming call response is made (step S34), the main control section 9 generates information on the incoming call date, caller telephone number, and caller name in the memory 8 as the incoming call history (step S34). S67). Thereafter, the process returns to the normal mode (step S68). When the user refers to “incoming history” (step S69), the incoming history as in step S70 is displayed. Thereafter, the reference to the “incoming call history” is ended (step S75), and the process returns to the “normal mode” (step S76).

  (E) In other words, when a missed call is received (step S33), the main control unit 9 stores the received call date, caller telephone number, caller name, and missed call information as the call type as the received call history. (Step S71). Thereafter, the process returns to the normal mode (step S72). When the user refers to “incoming history” (step S73), the incoming history as in step S74 is displayed. Thereafter, the reference to the “incoming call history” is ended (step S75), and the process returns to the “normal mode” (step S76).

  In this way, in this embodiment, the number of ringing calls and the call time for each incoming call can be confirmed. Therefore, when there is a missed call, it is basic to call back to the called party. However, for example, if the incoming call is very short, the incoming call may not be so important, and it can be determined that it should be called again in an emergency, and there is not enough time to call back You can also do not call again from here.

  On the other hand, if the number of ringing calls and the call time for each incoming call are very long, the other party has received an incoming call, such as whether the incoming call was important or urgent You can also sense your feelings and feelings. And when I call back to the other party, I apologize for not being able to answer the call when I got a call, rather than just responding like "I got a call but what is my business?" You can be attentive when answering calls, such as using words carefully. This is useful not only for missed calls but also for responding to incoming calls. For example, if the phone is ringing while you are away from the phone, you can check the number and time of incoming calls by looking at the incoming call history as soon as you answer the call. It can be an index to know if you have lost, and can prompt the other party to apologize if you do not answer the phone immediately. In this way, it is possible to improve etiquette in telephone reception and bring about an effect in facilitating human relations.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, an index for reading the importance of each incoming call that has been missed can be given to the user of the telephone device that has missed the call. In other words, if you did not set a message memo or answering machine and did not leave a message, you could not answer the call and missed calls. Now that the call duration of the call has been measured and the results displayed, the phone device user can read the importance of the call from the other party based on the number of calls displayed and the call duration. , Can make a decision such as whether to reply to the other party who made the call.

  The present invention is applicable not only to mobile telephone devices such as mobile phones and automobile phones, but also to fixed telephone devices, and the same effects can be obtained.

  The present invention has an effect that it is possible to give a user of a telephone device that has made a missed call an index for reading the importance of each incoming call that has become a missed call. It is useful for telephone devices and the like provided.
