  In the mobile information terminal according to the present invention, the registration unit assigns and records the different ringtone for each incoming subaddress.

  As described above, according to the portable information terminal of the present invention, when the received sub address is compared with the registered sub address, and the determined character string is determined to match, the assigned character string is While displaying on the display screen and notifying the user that there is a message, the communication line is automatically disconnected after receiving the received subaddress, so there is no need to respond to the transmission side, and the communication cost is reduced. It is possible to reduce the number and notify a defined simple message.

  Further, according to the present invention, a message can be assigned to each of a plurality of subaddresses, and a number of simple messages can be notified to the user.

  Further, according to the present invention, not only a character string but also a ringtone can be generated and notified at a fixed interval, and various messages can be notified by storing a plurality of ringtones. Therefore, it is possible for the user to immediately determine the meaning of the message.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a mobile phone terminal according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a mobile phone terminal according to the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile phone terminal 1 according to the present invention is broadly divided into a control device 11 that performs overall control of the mobile phone terminal 1 and the like, and a wireless device that performs transmission and reception under the control of the control device 11. 12 and a recording device 13 for recording an address book (described later).

  Further, the recording device 13 includes a subaddress-message association registration unit 17 and an address book 16 in which an association between a destination subaddress and a message to be described later is recorded, and the control device 11 searches for an address book 16 in the recording device 13. As will be described later, a book search unit 14 and a sub-address search / comparison unit 15 for searching for sub-addresses recorded in the sub-address / message association registration unit 17 and comparing messages at the time of an incoming call are provided.

  Next, the operation of the mobile phone terminal 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing a procedure of transmission / reception between the mobile phone terminal (CS) on the calling side and the mobile phone terminal (PS) on the receiving side.

  The mobile phone terminal 1 receives a transmission radio wave from the mobile phone terminal on the transmission side by the wireless transmission device 12, and the received incoming information is processed in a sequence as shown in FIG.

  That is, the incoming call procedure as shown in FIG. 2 is performed between the mobile phone terminal (CS) on the caller side and the mobile phone terminal 1 (PS) on the callee side.

  The mobile phone terminal 1 receives information called a call setting 21 after receiving an incoming call from the mobile phone terminal 1 on the calling side. With this call setting 21, the “incoming” subaddress is notified from the mobile phone terminal 1 on the caller side to the mobile phone terminal 1 on the callee side.

  When the mobile phone terminal 1 receives the incoming call and call setting 21, the sub-address search / comparison unit 15 of the control device 11 calls the “incoming” sub-address registered in the sub-address-message association registration unit 17 of the recording device 13 and the call setting. A comparison is made with the “incoming” subaddress added to 21.

  At this time, if there is no “incoming” subaddress that matches the subaddress-message association registration unit 17 of the recording device 13 or if no “incoming” subaddress is added, a normal incoming call is made.

  The “incoming” subaddress and the message described above are associated and recorded in the subaddress-message association registration unit 17 of the recording device 13.

  For example, when allocating a message to a subaddress, the subaddress-message association registration unit 17 of the recording device 13 is assigned a message “I will return home” to the “incoming” subaddress “1234”, and the “incoming” subaddress “ “5678” is assigned to the message “5678” and recorded. These messages are assigned in advance by the user.

  As described above, when the caller adds the “incoming” subaddress “1234” and makes a call, the “incoming” subaddress “1234” set in the call setting 21 and the recording device 13 in the mobile phone terminal 1 are set. The sub-address / message association registration unit 17 of FIG. 1 matches the “incoming” sub-address “1234” set in advance, and the message “I will return home” as shown in FIG. Although not shown in the figure, an incoming call can be made while being displayed on the message display section of the mobile phone terminal 1.

  Similarly, when the caller adds the “incoming” subaddress “5678” and makes a call, the caller can make the call while displaying the message “It will be late today”.

  After the incoming call, the control device 11 of the mobile phone terminal 1 automatically and immediately disconnects the communication line. Such an operation makes it possible to receive a message without extra cost.

  In addition, the user who received the message calls the mobile phone terminal 1 on the transmission side if necessary.

  Also, a different ring tone can be assigned for each message, and the message content can be determined by the type of ring tone without looking at the message screen.

  In recent years, the number of mobile phone terminals that can make a call by adding a sub-address has increased as the number of functions of the mobile phone terminals has increased. Therefore, if numbers with sub-addresses “1234” and “5678” added in advance are registered in advance, the caller can easily transmit a message by transmitting the registered numbers. Become.

  As described above, since the mobile phone terminal 1 can display a message by the incoming sub-address, it is possible to easily transmit the message without incurring costs.

  Further, the message recipient can also grasp the message content by ringing a ring tone for a certain period of time when receiving an incoming call without checking the content on the screen.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the burden of the user's operation, confirmation, and usage fee in the simple message transmission by using the received subaddress and immediately disconnecting without responding. .

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the mobile phone terminal of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Of course.

It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the mobile telephone terminal which concerns on this invention. It is a sequence diagram which shows the procedure of transmission / reception with the mobile telephone terminal (CS) of a transmission side, and the mobile telephone terminal (PS) of a receiving side.
