In addition, a circuit that adjusts the volume by amplifying or attenuating the audio signal or improving the sound quality by changing the frequency characteristics of the audio signal is generally included in the call circuit 6a. It is. In general, the call circuit 6a also performs so-called sidetone control for controlling the sound wraparound from the microphone unit 6c to the speaker unit 6b.

  The large-capacity storage means 7 is for storing relatively large data such as music information files (MIDI, MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF, etc.) and various setting files. Since a large-capacity storage area is required, a medium such as a hard disk is applied. However, recently, a large-capacity semiconductor memory is also widespread, and may be applied. When using a hard disk, in order to prevent sound skipping due to vibration or shock, music information is once transferred to the semiconductor memory, and then the music information stored in the semiconductor memory is reproduced by the music information reproducing means 13 (described later). It is also possible to provide skip protection means. Of course, this does not apply when using a hard disk that supports vibration and shock. The mass storage means 7 can also be used as an external storage device of a PC (personal computer), for example. At this time, in order to protect each other's data, data for operation of the mobile phone 1 such as a music information file and data stored as an external storage device for the PC may be stored in separate storage areas. Good. In this case, a general-purpose interface such as FireWire or USB can be provided in the own device (mobile phone 1) as an I / F with the PC.

  The photographing means 8 converts a photographing object into image data, and specifically, a CCD or the like that is an image sensor is used. The CCD receives a light signal from a subject by a light receiving element, converts it into an analog electric signal, and outputs it. The image processing means 9 receives an analog electric signal output from the CCD (photographing means 8) and A / D converts it to obtain digital image data. The image processing means 9 further performs image processing (density conversion, filtering, optimization processing, enlargement / reduction, compression / decompression, etc.) on the digital image data. Image-processed image data is stored in the RAM 4 as memory means.

  The image display means 10 displays the image data processed by the image processing means 9 on an image display means on a liquid crystal screen (which may be a plasma display panel or a CRT). Note that the “display unit” of the operation input / display unit 5 can also be used as the image display means 10. The TV receiving means 11 includes a TV antenna, a detection unit, and a tuner unit, receives TV broadcast radio waves, and outputs a TV image signal. The TV image signal is input to the image processing circuit 9, and after performing predetermined image processing, it is stored in the frame memory 12, and the image data stored in the frame memory 12 is output to the image display means 10 to display the TV image. Is done. By storing the image data stored in the frame memory 12 in a predetermined storage medium, the TV image can be handled in the same manner as the image information acquired by the photographing unit 8.

  The music information reproduction means 13 decodes music data encoded in those formats included in a music information file in a format such as MIDI, MP3, AAC, WAV, etc., and reproduces the original music data. The reproduced music data can be converted into an analog signal and audibly output from the speaker unit 6b of the own device. As will be described later, the reproduced music data is transmitted to the partner device together with the voice information collected by the microphone unit 6c. It can be sent out and audibly output together with audio information on the partner device side so that the partner user can hear it.

  The music information downloading means includes an external medium storing the music information file, specifically, wireless communication means 18, wireless I / F means 17, external I / F means 15, memory card I / F means 16, and the like. For receiving a music information file from a server device (a storage device built in), a storage device, various memory cards, etc. that can be accessed via the storage device, transferring it to the mass storage unit 7, etc. .

  The external I / F unit 15 is connected to an external device such as a PC using a wire such as a cable, and transmits and receives data and the like. The memory card I / F means 16 is connected to a device equipped with a storage medium such as an IC card, a memory card, a memory unit, etc., and transmits and receives data. The wireless I / F unit 17 transmits and receives data using wireless, and includes Bluetooth, infrared communication, wireless LAN communication, and the like.

  The wireless communication means 18 wirelessly transmits and receives voice signals to and from the network side base station. In the best mode for carrying out the present invention, the communication device according to the present invention is applied to the mobile phone 1 that performs a telephone call (voice communication) with a base station using radio waves. The communication apparatus according to the present invention is also applicable to a fixed telephone apparatus that communicates with a switching center by wire.

  Needless to say, the mobile phone 1 as the communication apparatus according to the present invention does not need to have all the above-described configurations, and may have at least the configurations necessary for carrying out the invention.

  FIG. 2 shows the audio information from the microphone 6c that sends the music information from the music information reproducing means 13 to the partner device in the internal configuration of the call circuit 6a constituting the call unit 6 of the mobile phone 1 in FIG. A configuration for synthesizing with is shown.

  In the figure, the audio information input from the microphone unit 6 c is input to the amplifier 60, amplified by an amplification factor corresponding to the volume setting from the CPU 2, and then input to the mixer (addition amplifier) 64.

  On the other hand, the music information read out from the large-capacity storage unit 7 by the music information reproducing means 13 and decoded / expanded is input to the D / A converter 61, converted into an analog signal, and input to the equalizer 62. The equalizer 62 performs signal processing according to the sound quality setting from the CPU 2, and the signal output from the equalizer 62 is input to the volume controller (amplifier) 63. In the volume adjuster 63, the signal is amplified at an amplification factor according to the volume setting from the CPU 2 and then input to the mixer (addition amplifier) 64.

  The music information output from the mixer 64 and added to the audio information related to the call from the microphone unit 6c is a sound signal to be sent to the partner apparatus. That is, the music information is sent to the partner apparatus together with the voice information. In this case, the music information is adjusted to the sound quality / volume according to the setting from the CPU 2 and transmitted. The volume adjuster 63 corresponds to a volume adjusting means. The equalizer 62 corresponds to sound quality adjusting means.

  When voice information is exchanged with the counterpart device using a digital signal, the sound quality and volume of the music information can be adjusted by a digital filter circuit and synthesized with the voice information from the microphone unit 6c. Can also be performed by digital addition. In short, the present invention is based on whether the audio information exchanged with the partner device and the music information sent to the partner device together with the voice information are analog signals or digital signals, and depending on the signal and data format. It is not limited.

  Further, in FIG. 2, the volume adjustment may be performed after the mixer 64, and may be performed after the synthesis of the voice information related to the call and the music information. However, as shown in FIG. Separately, there is an advantage that the ratio of the volume of the voice signal of the call and the volume of the music signal can be changed (the same applies to the equalizer 62).

  FIG. 3 shows the contents stored in the large-capacity storage means 7 of the mobile phone 1 of FIG.

  In the figure, a music information storage folder (directory) 7a contains one or more pieces of music information, that is, one or more groups of music information files for one song.

  Each music information file included in the folder 7a includes “file name (song name)” for mutually identifying each file in the folder 7a, “additional information” such as creation date and time, file size, and “music data main body”. It is comprised by.

  The large-capacity storage means 7 stores a playlist setting file 7b and a telephone directory information setting file (both will be described later in detail).

  In addition, a music playback start condition setting flag Fs is set and stored in advance in the storage area 7d of the large-capacity storage means 7. The flag Fs indicates that the value “0” is “automatic reproduction”, that is, when a call (voice communication) with the partner apparatus is started, an operation of sending the reproduced music information together with the partner apparatus is automatically started. When the value “1” is “manual playback”, that is, when a call (voice communication) with the partner apparatus is performed, the operation of sending the reproduced music information to the partner apparatus is started only when the user performs an instruction operation. (Details will be described later).

  In addition, in the storage area 7e of the large-capacity storage means 7, an unregistered / non-notified partner music information reproduction condition setting flag Fm is set and stored in advance. The flag Fm is not registered in the phone book, in which the value “0” is “does not play”, that is, it is not indirect designation with reference to the phone book information setting file, but the other party's phone number is directly entered with the numeric keypad (usually Does not notify the destination identification information (telephone number, etc.) of the own device (the partner device) when making a call (voice communication) to the other party (which is not the other party) This means that during a call (voice communication) related to an incoming call from a partner device that is not usually a call partner, music information is reproduced and sent to the partner device together with the voice information. “1” indicates that such a destination is “reproduced with standard settings” (details will be described later).

  FIG. 4 shows a specific configuration of the place list setting file 4b.

  In the figure, a file 4b includes a "playlist name character string (playlist identification information)", "playback order setting flag" corresponding to each playlist specified by "playlist identification number" on a one-to-one basis. “Fp”, “continuous playback setting flag Fr”, and one or more “song name (file name)” associated with each place, and one or more “song name (file name)” set in each place list Are individually configured for “volume setting”, “sound quality setting”, “tempo setting”, and “number of times of reproduction”.

  Here, the playlist specified by the playlist identification number “0” has the same configuration as that after the identification number “1”, but is a special playlist, and is a playlist set as a standard in the mobile phone 1. This is a list and corresponds to “standard setting” of “reproduce with standard settings” of the value “1” of the flag Fm in the storage area 7e of FIG.

  The “place list name character string (identification information)” is a character string attached to each place list specified by each play list identification number so that the feature of each place list is easily understood by the user.

  The “play order setting flag Fp” has a value “0” in the order in which one or more songs (music information files) set correspondingly are registered. This indicates that it should be “reproduced in order”, such as No. 2, No. 2, No. 3, etc. The value “1” should be “shuffle and play (random play)”, for example, if the number of registered songs is 3, the second song, the first song, the third song, etc. Is shown.

  “Continuous playback setting flag Fr” is a value “0”, and if one or more songs (music information files) set correspondingly have been played back once as set in the “playback order setting flag Fp” The value “1” indicates that the reproduction should be terminated, and one-round reproduction of one or more songs (music information files) set correspondingly is completed according to the setting of the “reproduction order setting flag Fp”. This indicates that the playback should be repeated without finishing the playback.

  One or more “song names (file names)” specify one of the one or more music information files stored in the music information storage folder 7a of FIG.

  The “volume setting” corresponding to each “song name (file name)” is a volume setting value to be set in the volume adjuster 63 in FIG. The value 1 indicates the lowest sound volume (amplification factor) and the value 5 indicates the highest sound volume (amplification factor).

  Further, the “sound quality setting” corresponding to each “song name (file name)” is a sound quality setting value to be set in the equalizer 62 in FIG. , All bass sounds are set to “normal”, value 1 is set to “emphasize (emphasize)” bass sounds, value 2 is set to “emphasize (emphasize)” middle sounds, value 3 is high In addition, the setting is to “emphasize (emphasize)” bass.

  The “tempo setting” corresponding to each “song name (file name)” defines the playback speed when the music information playback means 13 decodes and decompresses the corresponding song, and the value 0 is set. The setting is “slow” compared to “standard”, the value 1 is “standard”, and the value 2 is “fast” compared to “standard”.

  In this way, since the reproduction conditions can be set finely for each song constituting each playlist, reproduction can be performed under the optimum reproduction conditions for each song.

  Note that it may be possible to individually set the playback conditions for each song for each music information file stored in the music information storage folder 7a. In this case, however, songs that are not registered in the playlist as a result. There is also a case where it is set wastefully.

  Further, the “number of playbacks” corresponding to each “song name (file name)” is incremented (added by 1) every time the corresponding song is played back, and stores the cumulative number of playbacks of each song. Field.

  Note that “volume setting”, “sound quality setting”, “tempo setting”, and “number of playbacks” are set not for each “song name” but for each playlist so as to simplify the setting. It may be. Since playlists are often composed of music information files with similar tunes, the effect is not significantly impaired compared to the case of each “song name”.

  FIG. 5 shows a specific configuration of the telephone directory information setting file 7c.

  In the figure, the file 7c corresponds to the fields of "destination identification information (telephone number)", "destination name character string", "playlist identification number", "playback order setting flag Fp", and "volume setting". It is configured as a set of records composed by appending.

“Destination identification information (telephone number)” is a telephone number or the like assigned to the communication partner apparatus from the line operator. “Destination identification information” may include alphabets and symbols depending on the form of destination identification information assigned to the terminal by the network operator.

  The mobile phone 1 notifies the destination device of “destination identification information (telephone number)” so that the mobile phone 1 can make a call (voice communication) to the desired partner device, and can also receive a call. Can receive notification of the “destination identification information (telephone number)” of the counterpart device (when the partner device is not set to “not notify”).

  The “destination name character string” is a character string attached so that the user can easily identify the corresponding “destination identification information (telephone number)”. The “playlist identification number” indicates a playlist set for the partner apparatus specified by the “destination identification information (telephone number)”, and the “playlist identification number” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. It corresponds to.

  The “reproduction order setting flag Fp” has the same definition as that in the file 7b of FIG. However, the value “−1” indicates that the flag Fp is not actively set, and the flag set in the file 7 b of FIG. 4 corresponding to the “playlist identification number” set correspondingly. It shows that the setting of Fp should be followed.

  “Volume setting” is also the same as the flag Fp, and has the same definition as that in the file 7b of FIG. However, the value “−1” is not set positively in the “volume setting”, and is set in the file 7b of FIG. 4 corresponding to the “playlist identification number” set correspondingly. This indicates that the “volume setting” corresponding to each “song name” should be followed.

  As a result, with regard to “play order setting” and “volume setting”, settings corresponding to each destination device in the phone book information setting file 7c are basically prioritized, and explicit settings are made in the phone book information setting file 7c. Since the setting in the playlist setting file 7b is applied only when the setting is not made, the setting relating to the reproduction of the music information is finely set for each partner apparatus and / or for each playlist ("song title" set correspondingly). It becomes possible to set.

  Note that “sound quality setting” and “tempo setting” in the file 7b of FIG. 4 are set in two stages, the phone book information setting file 7c and the place list setting file, as in the “volume setting”. It goes without saying.

  FIG. 6 shows an outgoing connection / disconnection sequence between the outgoing-side mobile phone and the network-side base station, which is applied when the mobile phone 1 makes a voice communication by calling the counterpart device.

  After the off-hook and dialing, the originating terminal transmits a call setup signal “SETUP” and an outgoing radio state report signal to the base station (phase F0), and receives a call setup acceptance signal “CALL PROC” from the base station ( Phase F1). After performing the authentication procedure (phase F2), the base station transmits a radio channel designation signal (phase F3). The originating terminal captures the designated channel and sets up the radio line. Next, a call signal “ALERT” is received from the base station (phase F4), and a ringing tone (RBT) is sent to the handset of the terminal itself. When there is a response on the called side, a response signal “CONN” is transmitted from the base station to the terminal device on the calling side (phase F5), charging starts from here, and a call starts (phase F6). When the communication is completed and the disconnection signal “DISC” is transmitted from the originating terminal device to the base station (phase F7), the base station transmits the release signal “REL” to the originating terminal device (phase F8). Billing ends here. Subsequently, the originating terminal device transmits a release completion signal “REL COMP” to the base station (phase F9), and receives a radio channel disconnection signal from the base station (phase F10). Finally, the transmitting terminal device releases the wireless channel used for communication and disconnects the wireless line (phase F11).

  FIG. 7 shows an incoming connection and disconnection sequence between the incoming-side telephone and the network-side base station, which is applied when the mobile phone 1 performs voice communication in response to an incoming call from the partner device.

  When receiving the calling signal from the base station (phase F20), the terminal device on the receiving side transmits an incoming radio state report signal and automatically transmits a response signal to the base station (phase F21). Then, after authentication in a predetermined authentication procedure (phase F22), the base station transmits a radio channel designation signal to the terminal device on the receiving side and sets up a radio line (phase F23). After the wireless line is set up, a call setup signal “SETUP” is transmitted from the base station to the terminal device on the receiving side (phase F24), and the terminal device on the receiving side generates a ringing tone (RGT) and then calls the base station. Signal "ALERT" is transmitted (phase F25). The response signal “CONN” is transmitted to the base station by the off-hook of the terminal device on the receiving side (phase F26), and the base station transmits the response confirmation signal “CONN ACK” to the terminal device on the receiving side (phase F27). Then, communication (call) is started (phase F28), and charging starts. When communication is finished and the disconnection signal “DISC” is transmitted from the terminal device on the receiving side to the base station (phase F29), the base station transmits a release signal “REL” to the terminal device on the receiving side (phase F30). Billing ends here. Subsequently, the terminal device on the receiving side transmits a release completion signal “REL COMP” to the base station (phase F31), and receives a radio channel disconnection signal from the base station (phase F32). Finally, the terminal device on the receiving side releases the wireless channel used for communication and disconnects the wireless line (phase F33).

  FIG. 8 shows a case where the mobile phone 1 receives a music information file by the music information download means 14 from a server and can be applied when a terminal such as a mobile phone downloads data via a network-side base station. Describes the type sequence.

  First, the terminal transmits a communication registration request signal to the base station (phase F40). The base station side transmits a communication authentication request signal to the terminal side in order to request authentication (phase F41). The terminal side transmits a communication authentication response signal to the base station (phase F42), and if the authentication is established, the base station side transmits a communication registration response signal to the terminal side (phase F43). The terminal side transmits a virtual line connection request signal to the base station side in order to request line connection (phase F44), and the base station transmits a virtual line connection response signal to the terminal side (phase F45). Thereafter, a communication line is virtually secured. Then, the terminal side transmits a Get signal for requesting data to the base station side using the HTTP protocol (phase F46). The base station side transmits an Ack signal as a response signal to the terminal side (phase F47). The base station transmits a response signal including the requested data to the terminal side (phase F48). The terminal side transmits an Ack signal as a response signal of the Response signal to the base station side (phase F49). Thereafter, phases F46 to F49 are repeated as necessary, and data acquisition on the terminal side is performed.

  FIG. 9 shows a push that can be applied when the mobile phone 1 receives a music information file from the server by the music information downloading means 14 and sends data by notifying the terminal such as a mobile phone from the network side base station. Describes the type sequence.

  First, a call signal is transmitted from the base station to the terminal side (phase F60). Next, the terminal transmits a communication registration request signal to the base station (phase F61). The base station transmits a communication authentication request signal to the terminal in order to request authentication (phase F62). The terminal side transmits a communication authentication response signal to the base station (phase F63), and if the authentication is established, the base station side transmits a communication registration response signal to the terminal side (phase F64). The base station transmits a virtual line connection request signal to the terminal side in order to request line connection (phase F65), and the terminal side transmits a virtual line connection response signal to the base station side (phase F66). A communication line is virtually secured. The base station transmits an incoming call notification signal to the terminal side (phase F67), and the terminal side transmits an Ack signal to the base station side as a response (phase F68. The terminal side sends a Get signal to request data. Transmit to the base station side (phase F69) The base station side transmits an Ack signal as a response signal to the terminal side (phase F70) The base station transmits a response signal including the requested data to the terminal side (Phase F71) The terminal side transmits an Ack signal as a response signal to the Response signal to the base station side (Phase F72) .Hereafter, Phases F69 to F72 are repeated as necessary to acquire data on the terminal side. .

  In addition, the terminal identification information (phone number, terminal number, ID number, machine number, mobile station number, mail address, URL, URI, etc.) and service identification information (phone number, Email address, URL, phone call, email, Internet access, data transmission, data reception, data download, etc.). Furthermore, a plurality of terminal identification information and service identification information of the own device or the partner device are stored (stored in the storage means of the own device), and a specific service is identified by selecting and using them. It is possible to enjoy various services such as using the information and charging the selected terminal identification information.

  FIG. 10 shows a playlist creation processing procedure in the mobile phone 1 of FIG. This playlist creation processing procedure corresponds to playlist creation means.

  In the figure, first, music information is displayed as a list on the display unit of the operation input / display unit 5 (step S101). That is, “file names (song names)” of one or more music information files stored in the music information storage folder of FIG. 3 are displayed in a list on the display unit.

  Then, it is monitored whether there is an operation for selecting and specifying specific music information from the displayed list or an operation for terminating the selection from the list itself (No in judgment S102, No in judgment S103). Loop).

  When there is a selection operation from the list (Yes in determination S102), music information attribute setting operation processing is performed for the music information (file) of the selected one song (processing S104), and the process returns to determination S102.

  The attributes of the music information set and operated in step S104 are the “volume setting”, “sound quality setting”, and “tempo setting” attributes of the playlist setting file 7b in FIG.

  Through the process S104, one or more pieces of music information are registered in one playlist.

In the determination S103, when an operation for ending the selection of the music information to be registered in the playlist is performed (Yes in the determination S103),
Perform playlist attribute setting operation processing (step S105).

  The attributes of the playlist set and operated in step S104 are the attributes of “playlist name character string”, “playback order setting flag Fp”, and “continuous playback setting flag Fr” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. is there.

  Through the processes S105 and S104, one or more pieces of music information are registered in one playlist, and the attributes of the playlist and the attributes of each of the one or more pieces of music information registered in the playlist are set. When registered and created, the created new playlist is registered in association with the empty “playlist identification number” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. 4 in step S106.

  According to the above procedure, a favorite playlist can be created based on one or more music information files stored in the music information storage folder 7a. It goes without saying that the contents of the created playlist can be changed and deleted via the operation input / display unit 5.

  Similarly, the setting contents of the telephone directory information setting file 7c shown in FIG. 5 can be newly created, changed, and deleted via the operation input / display unit 5.

  Accordingly, the user of the mobile phone 1 stores and stores the music information file in the music information storage folder 7a, creates a desired playlist for the stored one or more music information, and creates the created playlist. As shown in FIG. 5, in the telephone directory information setting file 7c, it can be set in association with each counterpart device (corresponding counterpart identification information).

  As described above, after setting the contents of the playlist setting file 7b and the telephone directory information setting file 7c, the mobile phone 1 in FIG. 1 performs a call (voice communication) related to an outgoing call or an incoming call as shown in FIG. Control is performed according to the control processing procedure of FIG. Note that the sequence shown in FIG. 6 is applied as a specific communication sequence in outgoing calls, and the sequence shown in FIG. 7 is applied to incoming calls (incoming calls). Also, the voice communication control process of FIGS. 11 and 12 corresponds to a voice communication control means.

  That is, there is a destination designation operation for making a call (there are two ways of direct entry of a destination telephone number by using the numeric keypad or indirect entry by referring to the telephone book information setting file 7c) or an incoming call. (No loop of judgment S201, No loop of judgment S202).

  If there is a destination designation operation (Yes in decision S201), then if there is a call instruction operation waiting until there is a call instruction operation (No loop in decision S203) (Yes in decision S203), a call is made. Before dialing the designated destination, a value “0” indicating that the current voice communication is related to the “calling mode” is set in the flag Fmode (processing S204). The value of the flag Fmode is stored in the RAM 4 and is referred to as necessary in the music reproduction control process described later.

  Then, the destination designation form in the judgment S201 is judged (judgment S205), and in the case of the "direct designation" form by directly inputting the telephone number using the numeric keypad, the "direct designation" is set in the flag Fdial (stored in the RAM 4). Is set (step S206), and a call (voice communication) is started by calling the partner device specified by the partner identification information directly specified in step S201 (step S209). ).

  In decision S205, the destination designation form in decision S201 is indirect designation with reference to the phone book information setting file 7c, that is, the field of “name of destination name” in the phone book information setting file 7c is displayed in a list and selected from among the fields. If the “partner identification information (telephone number)” corresponding to the received information is indirectly selected and specified, a value “indirect specification” indicating “indirect specification” is stored in the flag Fdial (stored in the RAM 4). 1 ”is set (process S207), and the designated partner identification information is stored as a character string variable Other (stored in the RAM 4), and then specified by the partner identification information indirectly designated in process S201. Call (voice communication) is started (step S209). After step S209, the process proceeds to step S215 in FIG.

  In decision S202, if there is an incoming call (Yes in decision S202), the current voice communication is set in the flag Fmode before responding to the incoming call and starting a call (voice communication) with the other device. A value “1” indicating that the call is related to “incoming call mode” is set (step S210). The value of the flag Fmode is stored in the RAM 4 and is referred to as necessary in the music reproduction control process described later.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the partner identification information (telephone number) has been notified from the partner device at the time of the incoming call (decision S211). If not notified (decision S211), the character string variable Other (stored in the RAM 4). In addition, after setting a character string of “no notification”, a call (voice communication) with the called partner apparatus is started (step S214). After the process S214, the process proceeds to the process S215 in FIG.

  In the determination S211, when notified (Yes in the determination S211), the character string of the notified partner identification information is set in the character string variable Other (stored in the RAM 4), and the called party is called. A call (voice communication) with the apparatus is started (step S214). After the process S214, the process proceeds to the process S215 in FIG.

  In process S215 of FIG. 12, a music reproduction control process (described later) is activated. Thereby, thereafter, the voice communication control process and the music reproduction control process are executed in parallel.

  After the music playback control process is started in step S215, the process waits until an instruction operation for private use of music playback is performed via the operation input / display unit 5 or the call (voice communication) itself ends (determination). When the call is finished (Yes in judgment S217), a value “indicating that music playback should be finished when the flag Fend (stored in the RAM 4)” is reached (No in S216, No loop in judgment S217). After “1” is set, the process returns to the determination S201 in FIG.

  In the determination S216, if there is a reproduction end instruction operation (Yes in the determination S216), a value “1” indicating that the music reproduction should be ended is set to the flag Fend (stored in the RAM 4). Then, the process proceeds to judgment S217.

  A specific processing procedure of the music reproduction control process activated by the process S215 at the start of a call related to an outgoing call or an incoming call is the procedure shown in FIGS. This music playback control process corresponds to music playback control means. Further, this music reproduction control process includes a procedure corresponding to the playlist selection means.

  First, in FIG. 13, it is determined whether the value of the music playback start condition setting flag Fs is 0 (automatic playback) or not (manual playback) (determination S301), and when it is manual playback (Yes in determination S301), Instead of immediately starting playback of music information combined with audio information and transmission to the partner device, the apparatus waits for a music information selection operation (No loop in determination S302).

  Specifically, the music information selection operation in this case may be an operation for selecting one or more pieces of music information from one or more pieces of music information stored in the music information storage folder 7a in FIG. 4 may be an indirect selection operation by a playlist selection operation from the playlist setting file 7b.

  In the determination S302, when there is a selection operation (Yes in the determination S302), sequential reproduction of the selected one or more pieces of music information is started (processing S303). The reproduction of the music information is continued until the reproduction of all the selected music information is completed or the value of the flag Fend is changed to 1 (No in judgment S304, No loop in judgment S305). When the reproduction of the music information is completed (Yes in determination S304), the reproduction of the music information is terminated.

  Further, the flag Fend, that is, the value of the flag Fend set by the process S218 or the process S219 in the audio communication control process procedure of FIGS. 11 and 12 being executed in parallel with the music reproduction control process is “1”. In other words, when there is a reproduction end instruction operation by the user, or when the call is ended, the value of the flag Fend is reset to “0” (processing S306), and the music information is reproduced. Exit.

  In this case, “reproduction of music information” means that the music information reproduction means 13 sequentially reads out the music data body constituting the necessary music information file from the mass storage means 7 and decodes / decompresses it, as shown in FIG. This is a process of synthesizing the music information with the voice information from the microphone unit 6c in the call circuit 6a and outputting it to the D / A converter 61 in the circuit group for sending it to the other device.

  As a result, even if the call is started, unless the user gives an instruction, the music information is played back and “manual playback” is not performed without sending it to the partner device. It is possible to perform control so that music information is reproduced and transmitted to the partner apparatus.

  In the procedure of “manual reproduction” in the determinations S302 to S306, the music information to be reproduced is also manually selected. However, “automatic reproduction” performed when the determination S301 described later is Yes. It goes without saying that the music information selection may be automatically performed by applying the procedure according to the above. In this case, the user can listen to the music information only when he / she wants to listen to the user on the partner apparatus side. However, since the music information selection operation itself can be omitted, there is an advantage that the operation can be saved.

  In addition, when a predetermined number for instructing automatic reproduction of music information is added in front of the telephone number of the other party specified at the time of calling, the music information is automatically transmitted when the call is started. It may be. Also, when the other party's phone number is specified, the sending of music information is started at the same time as the start of the call, while when dialing with another predetermined number that prohibits the reproduction of music information. May be configured not to transmit music information during a call. Also, the playback order of the music information selected in step S302 may be set according to the operation input.

  If it is determined in the determination S301 that “automatic reproduction” is set (Yes in the determination S301), the process proceeds to the determination S107 in FIG.

  In determination S107 in FIG. 14, it is determined whether or not the value of the flag Fmode, the value of which is set in step S204 or step S210 in FIG. 11, is 0 (calling mode).

  Then, in the case of the calling mode (determination S307, Yes), the procedure for shifting to the determination S308 is executed, and in the case of the incoming call mode (No in the determination S307), the procedure for shifting to the determination S318 in FIG. .

  In the calling mode, first, it is determined whether the value of the flag Fdial set in step S206 or S207 in FIG. 11 is 0 (direct specification) (indirect specification) (determination S308). (Yes in judgment S308), it is further judged whether or not the value of the flag Fm preset in the storage area 7e in FIG. 3 is 0 (no reproduction) (reproduction with standard settings) (determination S309).

  If “not reproduced” (Yes in determination S309), the process ends without starting reproduction of the music information. In the case of “reproduce with standard settings” (No in determination S309), music reproduction processing is performed based on a standard set playlist whose “playlist identification number” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. 4 is “0”. (Processing S310).

  Note that the music playback processing in step S310 is performed by the music information playback means 13 that constitutes one or more music information files registered in the target playlist (in this case, the standard setting) from the large-capacity storage means 7. Of the circuit group for sequentially reading out the data body and decoding / decompressing it, and combining the music information with the voice information from the microphone unit 6c in the call circuit 6a shown in FIG. This is a process of outputting to the D / A converter 61. In the music reproduction process, music information files are reproduced in the order based on the settings of the “reproduction order setting flag Fp” and the “continuous reproduction setting flag Fr” for one or more pieces of music information registered in the target playlist. 2 is set in the volume adjuster 63 in FIG. 2 when each piece of music information is reproduced, and the “sound quality setting” set in correspondence with each piece of music information. "Is set in the equalizer 62 in FIG. 2 at the time of reproduction of each music information, and the" tempo setting "set corresponding to each music information is reflected in the reproduction speed of each music information in the music information reproduction means 13. .

  The music reproduction process in step S310 is performed until reproduction based on the setting of the playlist is completed or until the value of the flag Fend set to 1 in process S218 or S219 in FIG. 12 changes to 1 (determination S311). No, the loop of No in S312), when the playback is completed (Yes in S311), the playback process is terminated. Also, when the value of the flag Fend has changed to 1 (Yes in determination S312), the value of the flag Fend is reset to 0 (processing S313), and the processing is terminated.

  As a result, during a call related to a call to the other party specified by direct entry of the telephone number using the numeric keypad, the music information registered in the standard playlist is set according to the correspondingly set conditions. It is sent to the destination device, and the user on the other end device side can hear the music information together with the voice information from the own device.

  Note that the default playlist is applied to the directly specified destination, assuming that the destination is not registered in the phone book. When information (phone book) is registered, a corresponding playlist may be applied, and a standard playlist may be applied only when the information is not registered. In that case, it is possible to automatically select a playlist more suitable for the other party.

  Also, if the call ends or playback is instructed in the middle of judgment playback, and the playback of music information is interrupted, the performance is started from the point where it was interrupted (in the middle of the song) during the next call. You may make it provide the start means which starts a performance from the beginning of the music (music information), without providing a start means or starting from the middle of a music. In that case, in order to identify the played and unplayed music information, a flag indicating whether or not the music has been played is set for each piece of music information, and playback from the middle is performed with reference to the flag. To. When the music information is reproduced from the middle, the elapsed time from the beginning of the music information to the position where it has been reproduced is measured and stored, and is referred to when the reproduction is resumed.

  Also, from the music information to be played next after the music information interrupted during playback ("sequential playback" is the next registered song, and "shuffle and play" is the next randomly selected music information) You may provide the next means to start a performance.

  In the determination S308, when it is indirect designation by the telephone book (No in the determination S308), in the process S208 of FIG. 11, the destination string identification information related to the call is stored in the character string variable Nother. The music reproduction process is performed based on the corresponding playlist in the telephone directory information setting file 7c (process S314).

  The music reproduction process of process S314 is performed until the reproduction based on the setting of the playlist is completed or the value of the flag Fend set to 1 in process S218 or S219 of FIG. 12 changes to 1 (determination S315). No, the loop of No in S316), when the playback is completed (Yes in S315), the playback process is terminated. Also, when the value of the flag Fend has changed to 1 (Yes in determination S316), the value of the flag Fend is reset to 0 (processing S317), and the processing ends.

  As a result, during a call related to a call to a destination specified indirectly with reference to the phone book, the playlist set in the phone book information setting file 7c corresponding to the specified destination. The music information registered in the destination device is sent to the destination device under the correspondingly set conditions, and is sent to the other party device side user along with the voice information from the own device. The music information optimally set by the user of the mobile phone 1 to be heard by the user of the apparatus can be heard.

  Note that the default playlist is applied to the directly specified destination, assuming that the destination is not registered in the phone book. When information (phone book) is registered, a corresponding playlist may be applied, and a standard playlist may be applied only when the information is not registered. In that case, it is possible to automatically select a playlist more suitable for the other party.

  In the processing procedure of FIG. 15 performed when the determination S307 is No (incoming call mode), first, is the content of the character string variable Other set in the processing S212 or S213 of FIG. 11 “not notified”? It is determined whether or not (notified destination identification information).

  In the case of “no notification” (Yes in determination S319), whether the value of the flag Fm preset in the storage area 7e in FIG. 3 is 0 (not reproduced) or not (reproduced with standard settings). Is determined (determination S319).

  If “not reproduced” (Yes in determination S319), the process ends without starting reproduction of the music information. In the case of “reproduce with standard settings” (No in determination S319), music reproduction processing is performed based on a standard set playlist whose “playlist identification number” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. 4 is “0”. (Processing S310).

  The music playback process in step S320 is performed until the playback based on the setting of the playlist is completed or the value of the flag Fend set to 1 in the process S218 or S219 in FIG. 12 changes to 1 (determination S321). No, the loop of No in the determination S322), when the reproduction is completed (Yes in the determination S321), the reproduction process is terminated. Also, when the value of the flag Fend has changed to 1 (Yes in determination S322), the value of the flag Fend is reset to 0 (processing S323), and the processing is terminated.

  As a result, during a call related to an incoming call from a partner whose family name is unknown, unlike the other party registered in the phone book without notification of the party identification information, the music registered in the standard playlist The information is transmitted to the partner device under the correspondingly set conditions, and the user on the other party device side can hear the music information together with the voice information from the own device.

  In the determination S318, when the destination identification information is notified at the time of the incoming call (No in the determination S318), the character string variable in which the destination identification information related to the call is stored in the processing S208 of FIG. Music playback processing based on the corresponding playlist in the telephone directory information setting file 7c of FIG. 5 is performed on the other (processing S324).

  The music playback process of step S324 is performed until the playback based on the setting of the playlist is completed or until the value of the flag Fend set to 1 in the process S218 or S219 of FIG. 12 changes to 1 (determination S325). No, the loop of No in S326), when the reproduction is completed (Yes in S325), the reproduction process is terminated. Also, when the value of the flag Fend has changed to 1 (Yes in determination S326), the value of the flag Fend is reset to 0 (processing S327), and the processing is terminated.

  As a result, during the call related to the incoming call from the other party whose notified party identification information is registered in the phone book, the play set in the phone book information setting file 7c corresponding to the other party is performed. The music information registered in the list is sent to the partner device under the correspondingly set conditions, and the other party's device is sent to the other party's device along with the voice information from the own device. The music information optimally set by the user of the mobile phone 1 to be heard by the user of the destination device can be heard.

  Note that the notified partner identification information may not be registered in the phone book, but in that case, as in the case of a non-notifying partner, that is, in the case where the determination S318 is Yes, the determination S319 Or you may make it apply the procedure of process S323. As a result, the standard place list can be applied even to a call related to an incoming call from a destination not registered in the telephone directory.

  In addition, the other party specified directly at the time of outgoing call, the other party that does not notify the other party identification information at the time of incoming call, even if the other party identification information is notified at the time of incoming call, the other party identification information is registered in the phone book. It is also conceivable that a playlist is individually set in advance and applied to each destination that is not.

  In the above description, the playlist setting file 7b is used for registering / referencing music information to be transmitted to the partner device during a call together with the sound information collected by the microphone unit 6c. Needless to say, the playlist setting file 7b may be used by the user of the mobile phone 1 to listen to and enjoy music through the speaker unit 6b or an unillustrated earphone during standby.

  Specifically, when the registered contents of the playlist setting file 7b are displayed as a list and a desired playlist is selected, one or more pieces of music information registered in the selected playlist are set under the corresponding conditions. It can also be used for playback.

  However, usually when listening to music and when using it as background music during a call, the playback conditions (playback conditions) such as playback volume, sound quality, and whether or not to use shuffle play are different. Matching playback conditions can also be set. That is, for each playlist constituting the playlist setting file 7b, two types of playback conditions are set for BGM during a call and for listening to music during standby, and the playback condition for BGM during standby is set as standby. Sometimes the playback conditions for listening to music may be effective. Basically, the playlist setting file 7b is set to be optimal for standby music appreciation, and the playback conditions during a call are set in the telephone directory information setting file 7c in FIG. It can also be considered.

  Further, the music information attached to the received mail and the downloaded music information can be stored in the music information storage folder of FIG. 3 and can be newly registered in the playlist. In addition, the playlist setting file 7b is transmitted to the other device (attached to an e-mail, directly transmitted by FTP, HTTP protocol, etc.), and an existing playlist setting file is downloaded from the server of the playlist provider. Correspondingly set music information may be downloaded at the same time and stored in the music information storage folder 7a. The music information set in correspondence is downloaded when the music information becomes necessary, that is, a playlist is newly registered in association with a predetermined destination in the telephone directory information setting file 7c. Sometimes, only music information registered in the newly registered playlist is accessed and downloaded each time, so that downloading of music information that will not be reproduced as a result is omitted. You can also

  In addition, as a playback condition of music information at the time of a call, select and set from a plurality of playlists for each day of the week, month, date, time zone, season, and set the playlist to play to the day of the week, month, date, You may make it provide a program play means to change every time slot | zone and a season. Such performance conditions (reproduction conditions) may be set for each destination in the telephone directory information setting file 7c, or another setting means (for example, a setting means dedicated to BGM playback) may be provided. Also good.

  Also, a playlist set in the playlist setting file 7b (corresponding music information) or one or a plurality of music information stored in the music information storage folder 7a cannot be answered to an incoming call. It can also be used as an on-hold tone. That is, when there is an incoming call and a holding operation is performed by the user, the music information is reproduced by connecting to the other party. In that case, the “playlist identification number” of the playlist setting file 7b or the music information file is set and stored in advance for use as a music on hold, and when the music on hold is sent to the partner device, the set music information is set. Is played and sent out.

  In addition, the “sound quality setting” for each piece of music information in the playlist setting file 7b is prepared by preparing a plurality of preset equalizers in which the strength at each frequency is set in advance, so that the user has to manually set the strength of each frequency. It can be omitted.

  In addition, since the volume of each music information when it is played is different (it differs depending on the music data source from which the music information is based), a playback sound automatic uniform means for keeping the playback volume constant may be provided.

  It is also possible to send music information attached to an e-mail or send it directly to the other device (using FTP or HTTP protocol).

  As the number of music information files stored / stored in the mobile phone 1 increases, the amount of data increases, and maintenance such as backup becomes necessary. Therefore, the music information file and the telephone directory information setting file 7c can be maintained by connecting to an external device such as a PC via the external I / F means 15 or the like.

  That is, the music information file, the playlist setting file 7b, the telephone directory information setting file 7c, etc. stored in the mobile phone 1 are also stored on the PC side. When the PC and the mobile phone 1 are connected, the PC Communication is started between the server software on the side and the client software on the side of the mobile phone 1, and the mutual data is updated to the latest data based on data sync information such as file update records and creation dates.

  Specifically, when a new playlist is created on the mobile phone 1 side and registered in the playlist setting file 73b, the newly registered playlist is transferred to the PC side. In this case, the music information file registered in the created playlist is not always stored in the music information storage folder 7a in FIG. That is, the music information storage folder 7a stores a registerable music information list file in which a list of music (file) names that can be registered in the playlist is stored, and one or more music names registered in the list are stored. A list is displayed when a new playlist is registered. This is to prevent the storage capacity of the large-capacity storage means 7 from being pressed for music information files that are not eventually registered in the playlist.

  On the other hand, the PC side stores the playlist, and checks whether the music information file included in the playlist is stored (or downloaded) on the mobile phone 1 side. . If not stored, the music information file stored on the PC side is transferred to the mobile phone 1 side. The mobile phone 1 stores the music information file received (downloaded) from the PC in the music information storage folder 7a shown in FIG. As a result, music information files that are not stored in the device at the time of playlist registration can be played according to the selection of the playlist, and the music information file stored in the mobile phone 1 and related information are maintained. can do.

  In addition, the music information file stored in the mobile phone 1 may be used not only as a BGM that is sent together with the voice information sent to the partner apparatus, but also as a notification sound such as a ring tone. The notification sound plays music information with normal playlist settings (usually playing for a long time, using earphones) because of its characteristics (reproduction time is short, listening through speakers, etc.) compared to normal music performance. Listening) and problems (playlist songs cannot be listened to the end, playback volume settings do not match).

  Therefore, by editing the music information file (data conversion, song length editing, etc.), it will be used as a notification sound for background music, hold tone, ringtone, alarm sound, operation sound, etc. It is possible. Also, a playlist (one or more music information files registered correspondingly) can be used for notification sound. For example, a predetermined playlist is set for notification sound. In this case, the playback conditions (playback order, playback volume, playback sound quality, mid-start function, first start function, next function and shuffle settings, program play function, etc.) for use as a notification sound are set to normal music. It is preferable that the setting can be made separately from the setting for listening and the setting for BGM played back during a call. Of course, the playback condition may be set for each notification sound.

  Up to this point, music information has been described as an example, but instead of music information, for example, PCM-recorded voice data, recorded data, voice synthesis data, radio recorded data, TV broadcast voice recorded data, this kind of reading Sound data such as sound data (sound information) or other known sound data may be used.

  Now, with current mobile phones, the data of ringtones (ringtones, ringtones, ringing voices, etc.) must be stored in advance in the memory on the call receiving side. The device) has not been able to determine the type of the ringtone of the side that receives the call (the called side device), but it is possible to solve the problem.

  In other words, the calling side device may be ring tone data (music information data or a plurality of data in addition to ringtone data, ringtones, and ringtone data) prepared in advance by storing in a storage means or the like. ) And terminal identification information such as the telephone number of the local station is transmitted on the Setup signal (see phase F0 in FIG. 6) which is a call control signal. The called side device that has received the Setup signal checks the terminal identification information of the calling side device included in the Setup signal, and reproduces the ring tone data from the calling side based on the check result. If the terminal identification information of the calling side device is stored in the memory of the own device, the ring tone data included in the Setup signal is used as the ring tone of the own device. Play (ring). At this time, the received ring tone data may be stored in the memory in order to reproduce the ring tone. Further, terminal identification information of the calling side device may be stored in the memory. By registering the ringtone data and terminal identification information stored in the memory in the phonebook of the called device, the next ringtone stored in the phonebook when the same caller receives a call. Data can be ringed as a ringtone. At this time, if the ring tone data included in the received Setup signal is the same as the ring tone data stored in the telephone directory, either one of the ring tone data may be used. On the other hand, if the received setup signal does not include ringtone data, the ringtone data stored in the phone book may be sounded. Further, when the received Setup signal includes ring tone data different from the ring tone data stored in the telephone directory, the ring tone data included in the Setup signal is used. The setting of which data to use may be set in advance by the called device. In this way, the calling party can directly control the ringing tone of the called party.

  Currently, there is a communication terminal device provided with a plurality of own terminal identification information. However, for example, when a mobile phone is used as a communication terminal device and the phone number of the own terminal device is considered as the own terminal identification information, the phone number of a plurality of own terminal devices is provided. There are no applications to save. However, it is possible to improve the usability of the communication terminal device provided with a plurality of own terminal identification information.

  Specifically, in a communication terminal apparatus having a plurality of own terminal identification information, for each own terminal identification information, a telephone book means such as a telephone book information setting file 7c in FIG. Various information related to communication is stored for each communication), incoming call history means (stores various information related to incoming (incoming) communication) for each communication, call or communication charge information means (for one call (1 Information on communication charges), call charges such as accumulated call charges (integrated communication charges) or information related to communication charges), device function setting means (settings related to sounds such as ringtone type, ring volume, standby screen, lighting, etc.) Various functions related to own terminal identification information (communication information means) such as settings related to the display screen). And when the own terminal identification information to be used is selected from among the plurality of own terminal identification information, the telephone directory means, outgoing call history means, incoming call history means, telephone call corresponding to the selected terminal identification information thereafter Alternatively, communication fee information means and device function setting means are used.

  As an example, the case of a telephone directory will be described. A telephone device having a plurality of telephone numbers (phone number A and telephone number B) as the telephone number of its own terminal, for example, when the telephone number A is used as a company (public) telephone number In the telephone directory A, information such as a telephone number and an e-mail address of a work relationship (customer, etc.) of the company is stored. The telephone number B is used as a private telephone number, and the telephone directory B stores information such as a private telephone number and a mail address. For example, when the user is currently working and the phone number A is used, or when the phone number A is set to be used (set to the work mode), the user selects the phone book function. In this case, the telephone directory A corresponding to the telephone number A can be selected and used. Next, when using privately, the telephone number B is selected and a telephone is set to private mode. At this time, when the user selects the phone book function, the phone book B can be selected and used. In this case, switching between the work mode and the private mode may be performed by selecting the telephone number of the own device or by switching between the work mode and the private mode.

  In FIG. 16, in the mobile phone 1 of FIG. 1, the phone book information setting file 7c of FIG. 5 is integrated into the “phone book A” for “private” and the “phone book B” for “work”. A reference phone book setting processing procedure performed on the premise that the phone book information information setting file is stored in the large-capacity storage unit 7 in advance will be described.

  In the figure, it is monitored whether there is a setting change from “private” to “work” or from “work” to “private” in the mode (No loop in processing S401 and judgment S402).

  If there is a setting change (Yes in determination S402), it is determined whether the setting change is from "work" to "private" (from "private" to "work") (determination S403).

  When the mode is changed to the “private” mode (Yes in determination S403), the reference telephone book setting flag Ftel (stored in the RAM 4) is set to a value 0 indicating that the telephone book A should be referred to (processing S404). ).

  When the mode is changed to the “work” mode (No in determination S403), the reference phone book setting flag Ftel (stored in the RAM 4) is set to a value 1 indicating that the phone book B should be referred to (processing S405). ).

  When the mobile phone 1 should refer to the phone book information setting file, the corresponding phone book information setting file that refers to the value of the reference phone book setting flag Ftel is referred to.

  As a result, each of the phone book information setting files for “private” and “work” is added to the “private” and “work” destinations, playlists corresponding to the destinations, and the playlists. You can set the playback conditions for registered music information and use them properly.

  Also, in the case of so-called Mobile Centrex, which is a service that can use a mobile phone as an extension terminal, for example, when the phone number A is an external phone number and the phone number B is an extension phone number, it is used. The user may manually select the telephone number to be used. However, when the user detects whether the own communication terminal apparatus is in the company and detects that the terminal is in the company, the telephone number B is automatically selected. May be selected. Whether or not the own communication terminal device is in the company is detected by checking whether the own communication terminal device is within the radio area of the radio base station or radio relay station installed in the company (communication between the communication terminal device and the base station). Whether or not position detection is possible).

  In addition, when the own terminal identification information provided in the own device increases, the amount of data required by the corresponding phone book means, outgoing call history means, incoming call history means, call / communication charge information means, and device function setting means Since it increases, a backup means is needed. Therefore, it is conceivable to back up the data stored in the own device in a data storage device prepared on the radio base station side.

  That is, a communication path is secured between the radio base station side and the own device using a predetermined communication protocol, and data of the own device is transmitted to the radio base station side, thereby backing up the data in the data storage device. The device downloads backup data when necessary.

  In addition, it is good if there is little self-terminal identification information that can be used, but if it increases, it becomes difficult to remember what the self-terminal identification information mainly consists of numbers, symbols, etc. There's a problem.

  Therefore, if the name can be set in each terminal identification information or changed after the setting, the usability is further improved. For example, when the terminal identification information is a telephone number, there are cases where it is more advantageous to handle with a name than to handle numbers themselves. For example, a name such as “work” for telephone number A, “private” for telephone number C, and “extension” for telephone number B can be set. In this way, the device can be operated more reliably by selecting the name instead of the telephone number itself.

  Now, in the mobile phone 1 of FIG. 1, when the time for starting the display of the television broadcast received by the TV receiving means 11 is set as a timer, if there is a case where it is not noticed at the set time, the TV broadcast is overlooked. There is a problem of end. Therefore, as an embodiment for solving the problem, when the time set by the timer is reached, a notification is made by notifying means (sounding of the sounding means (notification sound), display on the display means). At the same time, it is conceivable to store (recording means) the TV broadcast video that has started to be received in a memory means such as the mass storage unit 7.

  In addition to watching TV broadcasts in real time on a mobile phone, it is also possible in the future to play back recorded data (recorded broadcast video, recorded video) recorded from TV broadcasts. On the other hand, mobile phones are not suitable for viewing recorded data for a long time due to the special circumstances that the screen is small and the battery does not last for a long time. For this reason, it is important to search for broadcasts to be watched, programs to be watched, scenes, etc. in recorded broadcasts, and the search method is recognized as a future problem.

  An embodiment of the invention for solving the problem will be described below.

  The recorded data is directly received by the TV receiving means 11 of the mobile phone 1 and the video data is stored in a memory means (a memory built in the main body or a hard disk, an external IC card memory or a hard disk). At this time, the TV broadcast data sent by the broadcasting station is already compressed data (for example, MPEG or the like) and may be stored in the memory means as it is, or converted into another compression method and then stored in the memory means. May be stored. Furthermore, metadata (information regarding program contents such as program name, broadcast time, broadcast channel, keyword, performer name, broadcast station name, etc.) regarding the content information of the video data (program) is received using the wireless communication means 18. (Data reception, e-mail, etc.) are stored in the memory means. When playing back video data, this metadata is used to access and play back the program or scene you want to watch. The video data stored in the memory means is reproduced and expanded by the image processing means 9 as the video data reproducing means and displayed on the image display means 10. Alternatively, video data may be reproduced from an external IC card memory or hard disk in which broadcast data is stored in advance. The metadata may be created by the user using an input means such as the operation input / display unit 5.

  TV broadcast program guide data is received using the wireless communication means 18. At this time, for example, using GPS means using an artificial satellite, the location data of the current location is acquired and transmitted to the server device managing the program guide data. The server device is based on the received location data. The TV broadcast program guide data that can be received at that position is transmitted. The mobile phone that has received the program guide uses the program guide data in a timer reservation or timer recording application (the application and the TV receiving means 11 can communicate with each other using a predetermined protocol (eg, G code)). . When the application is activated, a program guide is displayed on the display device, and a broadcast program to be reserved for timer recording or timer recording is selected and determined. Thereafter, when the timer reservation or timer recording time comes, a command is transmitted from the application to the TV receiving means 10 to receive the TV broadcast or start the recording of the TV broadcast. In addition, metadata (information on program contents such as program name, broadcast time, broadcast channel, keyword, performer name, broadcast station name, etc.) is used as a keyword, and a broadcast program or a broadcast scene that matches the keyword is recorded. It is also possible. Also, in the case of FM / AM radio broadcasting, the data to be handled is merely replaced by radio data or audio signals from TV broadcast video data, and the above-described embodiments of TV broadcasting can be applied.

  FIG. 17 shows a block configuration of a mobile phone 1a as a communication device that is all-IP (Internet Protocol). In the figure, the same components as those of the cellular phone 1 shown in FIG.

  The base station wireless I / F means 32 is an interface for performing wireless communication between the mobile phone 1a and the base station. The LAN wireless I / F means 31 is an interface for performing wireless communication between the mobile phone 1a and the LAN wireless base station. Conventionally, a dedicated protocol is used for the base station wireless I / F means 32. However, there are increasing cases of using the Internet network or the IP network between the base station side and the communication counterpart device. Furthermore, since IP is originally used for the LAN protocol, if the base station wireless I / F means 32 can also be converted to IP, cost reduction can be expected due to common use of components. Therefore, as in this embodiment, the IP unit 30 is commonly used for the base station wireless I / F unit 32 and the LAN wireless I / F unit 32.

  The IP means 30 includes two types of IP means: VoIP means used for voice and data IP means used for data communication. The VoIP means converts an analog voice signal sent from the call circuit into digital data, and further encodes and compresses it if necessary. Next, the audio signal data is embedded in the IP packet for transmission, and sequentially sent to the base station wireless I / F means 32 or the LAN wireless I / F means 31. Also, the audio signal data is taken out from the receiving IP packet input from the base station wireless I / F means 32 or the LAN wireless I / F means 31, and is decoded and decompressed if necessary. It is converted into an analog voice signal and sent to the call circuit 6a. In the case of the data IP means, instead of the call circuit of the VoIP means, for example, input / output with the memory means may be performed, or a dedicated data processing means may be provided.

  The IP means 30 assembles control IP packets for performing call control and sequentially sends them to the base station wireless I / F means 32 or the LAN wireless I / F means 31. Further, the control IP packet received from the base station wireless I / F means 32 or the LAN wireless I / F means 31 is disassembled. Such sending and receiving of the control IP packet may be configured by another means independent of the IP means 30. The operation control of the IP unit 30 may be performed by software by the CPU 2 or may be performed by hardware logic by a dedicated LSI.

  FIG. 18 shows an example of a communication sequence by SIP performed between the calling device and the called device in the all-IP mobile phone 1 of FIG.

  In the figure, a request message “INVITE” is transmitted from the calling side (phase F101). “INVITE” is a session activation signal, and an attribute of the session that can be received by the calling party is indicated by SDP (control information description). Specifically, the reception condition (codec, port number, etc.) on the calling side and the transmission condition are presented.

  Upon receiving “INVITE” in phase F101, the called side transmits “180 RINGING” to the calling side in order to notify that it is in the ringing state (phase F102). Although the receiving condition (codec, port number, etc.) and transmission condition on the called side may be presented by this 180 RINGING, it is usually presented by the next 200 OK.

  In addition, the called side transmits “200 OK” to the calling side in order to notify that the call is ready (phase F103). In “200 OK”, an attribute of a session that can be received by the called party is indicated by SDP. The called side presents the receiving conditions (codec, port number, etc.) and transmission conditions of the called side with “200 OK”.

  Next, the calling side transmits “ACK” to the called side (phase F104), whereby attributes that can be used for communication are negotiated with each other between the calling side and the called side. In the present embodiment, this is defined as the connection phase for convenience.

  Next, transfer of media (sound, image, video, etc.) by RTP packet is started (phase F105). In this embodiment, the medium transfer period is defined as a data transmission / reception phase for convenience.

  When terminating communication (in this case, the called party) sends a “BYE” signal to request termination of communication (phase F106), and the receiving side (in this case, the calling party) A “200 OK” signal as a response is transmitted to end the communication (phase F107). In this embodiment, this phase is defined as a cutting phase for convenience. Note that the disconnection phase may be activated not only from the called device but also from the calling device.

  In the above series of explanations, a mobile phone and an IP phone have been cited as examples of the communication device according to the present invention. In addition, the communication device includes a mobile radio, an IP phone using a wireless LAN, and an IP communication terminal. There are communication terminal devices having communication functions such as devices, general subscriber phones, computers with communication functions, mobile phones, PHS, PDAs, and the like, which can be implemented using communication protocols that can be used by each communication terminal device.
