The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
Embodiments of the mobile phone system and the mobile phone and the mobile phone repeater of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  Example 1 will be described. In this embodiment, the mobile phone has means for designating specific voice data from the voice database provided in the mobile phone repeater, and the mobile phone repeater is installed at the relay station and designated by the mobile phone. Means are provided for mixing the voice data in the voice database with the call voice and transmitting it to the mobile phone of the other party. FIG. 1 shows an example of means for transmitting designated voice data from the voice database 22 to the other party in the mobile phone relay station 2 after mixing it with the call voice. First, it is assumed that voice data to be transmitted in advance is set in the mobile phone A1. The cellular phone A1 presses a specific operation, for example, a “send sound” button in order to transmit specific audio data. Then, the button is sensed by the microcomputer of the cellular phone A1, converted into a digital signal, and transmitted as a digital signal or the like as an instruction to the relay station 2 to the relay station via the radio station 3a. In response to this, the relay station searches and reproduces the designated voice data from the voice database, synthesizes it with the call voice by the mixer 21, and transmits it to the mobile phone B4, which is the call partner, via the radio station 3b.

  In addition to synthesizing voice data designated for the other party, it may be synthesized with the call voice from the mobile phone B4 as shown in FIG. . Further, the volume to be synthesized by these mixers 21 may be adjusted.

  A second embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the mobile phone is provided with means for accessing and searching an audio database using a general protocol such as HTML, and the mobile phone repeater is an HTML server accessed by the mobile phone. The voice data in the voice database searched and specified in (1) is mixed with the voice of the call and transmitted to the telephone of the other party. In the first embodiment, voice data to be transmitted in advance is set by the mobile phone A1, but in the second embodiment, the mobile phone A1 uses a browser such as i-mode (registered trademark) as shown in FIG. Access and make it possible to select audio data on the HTML page, and search and specify the audio database 22.

  A third embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the mobile phone includes means for specifying the volume to be mixed by a user operation, and the mobile phone repeater includes means for specifying the volume to be mixed specified by the mobile phone. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a call sound can be registered in the voice database in accordance with an instruction from the mobile phone A1, and the voice data can be used later.

  Example 4 will be described. In this embodiment, the cellular phone repeater has means for changing the length of the sound at random. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the voice length can be changed by converting the voice length to the designated length by the voice length converter 24 before synthesizing the voice data. In addition, the voice length can be changed at random, for example, reply, “un” can be changed to “un”, “un”, etc. so that it does not become monotonous.

  Example 5 will be described. In this embodiment, the mobile phone has means for mixing the sound only on the user side when the output sound is switched by a user operation such as a cursor, and the mobile phone repeater receives the operation of the mobile phone. Means for determining the output voice and mixing the voice with the telephone of the other party are provided. In this embodiment, when voice data is selected with the up / down or left / right cursors, the voice data selected as shown in FIG. 6 is synthesized with the voice of the call from the mobile phone B4 during the call, and only the operation side is heard. Only when the “send sound” button is pressed can be transmitted to the mobile phone B4 of the other party.

  Example 6 will be described. In this embodiment, the cellular phone repeater includes a means for retrieving characters entered on the cellular phone from the speech database, a means for creating speech data by performing speech conversion when the retrieval fails, and speech data created by retrieval. For synthesizing and generating sentence voice data. In this embodiment, in order to convey the inputted text to the other party by voice, after inputting the text with the mobile phone as shown in FIG. 7, for example, the text information and instructions are transmitted from the mobile phone with the “send sound” button, The speech database 22 is searched from the text at the relay station, and the part that cannot be found is composed by the speech composition / synthesis unit 25 by the speech synthesis, and is synthesized with the call sound from the cellular phone A1 through the mixer 21 to the cellular phone B4. Can be sent.

  In addition, in order to transmit the operation sound to the other party at the time of key input at the time of text input, an instruction is sent from the mobile phone A1 to the relay station by digital data at the time of key input as shown in FIG. You may make it tell also to mobile telephone B4 which is a telephone call partner. In addition, an instruction may be given at the start of the investigation, and specific music may be played during the operation until the voice is transmitted.

  Example 7 will be described. In the present embodiment, the mobile phone relay unit includes means for recognizing the voice of the call and composing the text, and the mobile phone includes means for extracting a word from the text composing the call voice of the other party, Means for displaying the words used in the list in a list and means for selecting from the displayed words. In this embodiment, the call voice received from the other party's mobile phone B4 is voice-recognized by the voice recognition unit 26 of the relay station 2, and the text composition unit 27 composes the text as shown in FIG. Is transmitted and the text is displayed on the mobile phone A1, so that it is possible to help understand the conversation even in an environment that is difficult to hear or for those who are hard of hearing.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, words recognized by voice are listed by the word list forming unit 28 and sent to the mobile phone A1, so that the mobile phone A1 side uses the words listed at the time of text input and simplifies input. You may try to make it.

  Example 8 will be described. In the embodiment described so far, the voice database is held in the relay station, so that the function of the mobile phone is not improved and only the relay station is improved. In the eighth embodiment, as shown in FIG. The mobile phone 1 is equipped with an audio database 12 and a mixer 11, and the same function can be realized. In order to minimize the cost of hardware, the voice database is usually in a separate server, and may be downloaded to the mobile phone 1 as necessary.

  In addition, the mobile phone 1 is not equipped with the same function, but as shown in FIG. 12, the mobile phone 1 is provided with a separate device 13 that is connected to a hands-free terminal (microphone and speaker terminal). A key, an audio database 12 and a mixer 11 may be prepared to realize the same function.
