Description

  The present invention relates to a portable terminal device having a sound source and capable of information communication, and more particularly, to a portable terminal device suitable for eliminating a hand held by a user during connection processing and information communication.

In mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones, while efforts have been made to reduce the size and weight, efforts have been made to improve functionality such as the incorporation of Internet functions. In addition, efforts have been made to improve ease of use in consideration of the environment, such as the confirmation sound of key switch operation, the generation of warning sound when an operation error occurs, or the notification by vibration and sound when a message arrives. The above prior art mainly focuses on functional aspects such as prevention of erroneous operations closely related to the communication function or response to the social environment, and providing little playfulness at the time of operation has not been considered much. However, recently, high functionality has reached a certain level, and a sense of playfulness during operation is required. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes that music or voice prepared in advance is superimposed on a call sound so that a mobile phone can be used happily.
JP-A-11-55379

  The one described in Patent Document 1 superimposes a sound such as music or voice prepared in advance on the call sound, and the clarity of the telephone voice that originally saved the amount of information for multi-channeling is improved. It is a loss. For this reason, it is not desirable in terms of communication. Such a means is inevitably left unsatisfactory by users who want good sound.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a portable terminal device that can prevent a communication from becoming monotonous by supplying auditory information to a user at the time of visual information communication such as character information or image information. The auditory information may include a sense of fun so that the user can enjoy it. In addition, confirmation and warnings may be made easier to understand with auditory information.

Means for solving the above problems are described in the claims. The present invention provides an auditory information when a condition set by an input means is established during information communication using visual information such as text information or image information, so that a user can enjoy it, a warning or a confirmation. It becomes easy to recognize.
In a preferred embodiment, the condition for supplying auditory information is to start accessing an Internet home page.
In another preferred embodiment, the condition for supplying auditory information is when a predetermined character string is detected in the received character information.
In still another preferred embodiment, the condition for supplying auditory information is when a predetermined character string is displayed on the display means.

  When calling, it provides a means for users to enjoy the sound during waiting time without adding elements that cause noise, and makes it easier to understand confirmations and warnings with various sound effects during key operations. .

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the present invention is applied to a mobile phone as a mobile terminal device. A recent mobile phone is not only a mobile phone but also a multi-function terminal device equipped with an Internet terminal function, high-quality incoming ring melody reproduction and entertainment function as a game machine. The appearance of the mobile phone of this embodiment is shown in FIG. A receiver 1, a display 2 using a color liquid crystal, a key switch 3 A, and a transmitter 4 are arranged in order from the top on the front, and a light-emitting diode 5 for displaying an incoming call is arranged on the upper right front. On the rear surface (not shown), a high-quality speaker is disposed on the opposite surface of the display 2, a battery is disposed on the opposite surface of the key switch 3A, and an antenna 6 is disposed on the right side of the rear surface. An external connection terminal is disposed on the lower side surface, key switches 21 and 22 that allow the user to determine the function are disposed on the central right side surface, and a mode changeover switch (not shown) is disposed on the upper left side surface.

  The functions held by the present embodiment are roughly divided into a basic function of a telephone, a homepage browser function using the Internet, an e-mail function, a music playback function, and a game machine function. In order to make the Internet function and the music playback function more effective, the liquid crystal display has a wider display surface and is colored, and the speaker has a larger size and a wider range of playback frequency than the telephone receiver 1. A high-quality speaker is used.

  These functions are selected by the key switch 3A. The power key 11, the outgoing key 12 for switching the telephone hook ON / OFF, the same numeric keys as those of the push-phone telephone, and the dial key 13 consisting of * and # are basic function switches as a telephone. In order to use many of the above functions, keys for moving the cursor up / down / left / right, 14, 15, 16, 17 and the enter key 18 are provided as keys for selecting icons displayed on the display 2. It has been. Characters displayed on the display 2 can be erased with the clear key 23. In addition, soft keys L19, soft keys R20, direct keys A21, and direct keys B22 are provided as keys for setting frequently used functions and directly activating them.

  The circuit block configuration of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The communication function consists of an antenna ANT and a high-frequency circuit RF. The high-frequency circuit RF has a receiving function for extracting encoded digital information from radio waves received by the antenna ANT and a transmitting function for converting the encoded information into a signal for transmission and amplifying it. The high-frequency circuit RF inputs / outputs signals to / from the interface bus BUS. The user's voice is converted into an analog electric signal by the transmitter MIC, converted into a digital signal by the analog / digital converter, and transmitted to the interface bus BUS. This information is compressed to the minimum necessary digital information by a voice sound generator VOC configured as a program in a microcomputer as a control means. The voice converter VOC converts a digital signal obtained by converting voice received through the interface bus BUS into an analog signal, and drives the receiver REC through the amplifier AMS. The ON / OFF state of the key switch is converted into a digital signal by the switch interface IF and transmitted to the microcomputer MPU as the control means through the interface bus BUS. Information to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 2 as display means is output from the MPU to the liquid crystal driver LCDDRV, converted into a liquid crystal panel signal by the liquid crystal driver LCDDRV, and driven to display the liquid crystal panel LDC. When an incoming call or e-mail is received, a drive signal is input from the microcomputer MPU through the interface bus BUS to the light emitting diode driver DRL or motor driver DRM, and the vibrator is activated by turning on the light emitting diode LED or rotating the motor MOT. Let Combinations of these operations and individual operation patterns are stored as control data in the semi-fixed holding memory EPROM. In order to notify an incoming call, it is common to sound comfortable music to listen to rather than a monotonous sound like a conventional buzzer. Also in this embodiment, the sound reproduction characteristics are excellent. The speaker SPK (high sound quality speaker) is used. As a circuit for driving the speaker SPK, a digital-analog converter DAS and an amplifier AMS are provided. The control program for operating each of the above-described components and various data are stored in a semi-fixed holding memory EPROM that can hold the memory even when power is not supplied. On the other hand, information necessary for temporary processing is stored in the temporary storage memory RAM.

  Next, functions of the present embodiment will be described. The basic functions of this embodiment are a mobile phone function and electronic mail. The following functions and procedures are set in order to make many settings for making these functions easy to use and memory functions simple and easy to understand. First, an initial screen is displayed on the display 2 by pressing the power key. An initial screen is shown in FIG. In this state, the user can make a call by inputting the destination telephone number with the dial key 13 and then pressing the call key 12. In addition, when a call comes into the mobile phone from the other party, the incoming lamp 5 is lit, the vibrator is activated, the incoming melody is sounded from a high-quality speaker, and the user presses the call key 12, The receiver 1 sounds the other party's voice, and his / her voice is input from the microphone 4. The electronic mail function, which is another basic function, switches to the Internet mode by pressing the direct key A21 and functions as a mobile phone as a browser. Alternatively, by pressing the direct key B22, the cellular phone functions as an electronic mail terminal. The functions of the respective direct keys are set at the time of shipment, and another function can be registered by pressing the soft key R20 while keeping the desired key state. Then, when the direct key is pressed, the function is changed directly, and the function can be used with one touch.

  In this embodiment, various functions can be set by a menu method. The menu function has a hierarchical structure as shown in FIG. In the initial state, when the enter key 12 is pressed, the display 2 is switched to the menu screen. As shown in FIG. 5, the menu screen has twelve icons arranged, and a desired function group is selected by pressing one of twelve dial keys having the same arrangement relationship.

  As described above, since the icon representing each function group is displayed at a position corresponding to the dial key on the display 2, accurate key selection is possible without storing the correspondence between the function group and the key. For example, when the dial key “2” is pressed and a function group related to sound effects is selected, the display 2 is switched to the screen shown in FIG. Here, for example, when the enter key is pressed, a menu for the initial ring volume is displayed, and the screen shown in FIG. 6B is displayed. If the enter key 18 is again pressed here, the ring volume is set to the normal volume. When the up key 14 is pressed here, the volume level is set high, and when the down key 15 is pressed, the volume level is set low. Press the Enter key 18 in the desired state to confirm the setting. If the state shown in FIG. 6B is the desired state and the user wants to be in that state only by pressing the direct key, the soft key R20 is pressed to enter the direct key registration state. A pop-up menu appears on the display 2 and the display "Direct key A" is displayed on the top and "Direct key B" is displayed on the bottom. After pressing the up key 14, press the enter key 18. As a result, the current state is registered in the direct key 1. The soft keys 19 and 20, the upper key 14, the lower key 15, the confirmation key 18, the dial key 13, and the clear key 23 become the input means 3A. When the direct keys 21 and 22 are assigned functions relating to the input of sound type, condition, etc., the direct keys 21 and 22 are also included in the input means.

  The operation procedure is as described above. As for the sound-related functions, as shown in FIG. 11, the menu types M21 to M23 of the keys are related to the ringtone, and M24 outputs the operation sound when the key is pressed. M25 is set whether or not there is a sound effect when the power is turned on, M26 is set whether or not to make a call quality warning sound during communication, M27 is set to clock alarm Setting whether or not to sound an alarm sound at the time, M28 is a setting related to composing a ringtone by yourself. M21 represents the order of arrangement 1 in the sound-related menu M2 *, and is the menu arranged at the top in the state of FIG. If it moves to the next selection screen further from Fig.6 (a), it will become a menu of three digits, such as M2 **. The volume of these sounds can be switched to a predetermined content by setting the mode to normal, safety, or silent with the mode selector switch. The initial setting state is set as follows. In silent mode, the vibrator vibrates without ringing, and the message “I can't answer the phone right now ...” is sent to the other party. In safety mode, a ring tone sounds for 5 seconds, and the message “I am driving now…” is sent to the other party. In normal mode, the ring tone continues to sound. If the user selects an appropriate mode from the above modes according to the situation, the user will not make annoying noise to the surroundings or will be distracted by the ringtone and drive dangerously. Can be prevented.

  The sound effect is produced using a high-quality speaker. The sound source data of the high sound quality speaker is stored in the semi-fixed holding memory EPROM. The microcomputer MPU reads the data in the semi-fixed holding memory EPROM at predetermined time intervals, converts this data into an analog signal by the digital-analog converter ADS, and outputs sound from the high-quality speaker SPK. Note that normal telephone voice processing is performed by a voice converter implemented as a program in the microcomputer MPU.

  As a situation where sound effects are useful, first, there is a case where the user is assisted to correctly perform the operation. Examples of this include confirming that a key switch has been pressed, warning that a wrong key has been pressed, and warning of switching of important operation modes. These are sounds that appear when the state changes, and are short-lived. On the other hand, since a sound indicating an incoming call continues to sound until the telephone is answered, it often continues to sound for several seconds. Conventionally, since the amount of data allocated to these sound effects was small, only a monotonous tone color could be produced as the sound effect.

  In contrast, in this embodiment, since a plurality of sound source data is stored in a large-capacity semi-fixed holding memory EPROM, the tone of the sound effect is selected according to the user's preference and the function used. It is possible to change. Although it can be set for each individual function, it takes time and effort to set it, so as one of the function menus, all sounds can be changed to a combination of preset sound effects at the same time. In the example shown in FIG. 12, three sound effect groups are created. The scene in FIG. 12 is a classified usage state of the mobile phone, and the sub-scene is further divided. The “head” of the three groups (general, extension, extension A) represents the head address of the sound source data of the sound effect reproduced in each scene or each sub-scene in each group, and the value in the “amount” column on the right is The volume of the sound source data is shown. The first general group is the same as the conventional sound effect, the tone color and the sound generation pattern are simple, and the function of sounding the sound effect is the same as before. On the other hand, the sound effect of the extended group is a sound that is a PCM-modulated instrument sound, etc., and a sound that is comfortable to listen to is selected. Key operation sounds 0 to * are touch-tone sounds, and are set to be in common with other types of telephones. When the microcomputer starts the sound effect reproduction program, calls the data starting from the position described in FIG. 12, and outputs it to the digital-to-analog converter at a predetermined time interval, an analog signal is output, which is amplified. This signal drives a high-quality speaker and produces sound.

  In the function menu shown in FIG. 4, a function for changing sound effects is arranged as M94 in the M9 section, and a menu for changing sound source data in a group or a menu shown in FIG. ing. The whole sound effect function can be divided into groups (M941) in the vertical direction of standard, extension, and extension A (M941) in FIG. 12, and grouping (M942) can be divided into standard, extension, and extension A for each scene number in FIG. When any sound effect group is selected by the selection function in the menu function, the sound of the sound source data assigned to each function of each scene or each key operation for each group sounds at each timing. For example, if you want to change the whole from “Standard” to “Extended” in FIG. 12, go to the menu and select the M941 screen, and use the up key 14 or the down key 15 to select the extension (screen state in FIG. 7). It can be changed by pressing the enter key 18. Similarly, to change for each scene, select M942 and confirm to display the M942 screen, where the scene or scene number is selected (Fig. 8a), and when confirmed, it becomes a submenu where standard, expansion, and expansion A can be selected. Select one (Figure 8b) and confirm. These procedures are basically the same.

  The sound source data is set at the time of shipment, but can be individually set by the user. The first setting method is the same as described above, and the scene (FIG. 9a) and sub-scene are set on the M943 screen (FIG. 9b), and the sound source is selected. The sound source is selected based on the sound source name or number on the menu screen, or the sound effect sound at the cursor sounds, and it is heard and selected. The sound is called up by moving the cursor to the name of the sound effect displayed on the menu with the up key 14 or the down key 15 (FIG. 9c) and pressing the enter key to reproduce the sound. When playback is started, an indication of whether to register on the menu screen or return to the selection of the sound effect is displayed (FIG. 9d), and registration is performed when the enter key 18 is pressed.

  The second method is to set the sound source in that state while actually using it. In this case, since it is necessary to enter the sound source setting mode, the scene needs to be maintained. As such a scene, a time-consuming process such as setting a favorite homepage or downloading a homepage can be considered. Since the duration of these scenes may be several seconds, after entering the sound source setting, you must perform the original call or browse the homepage for a while and then set the sound source after the end There is. The microcomputer has detected scenes and sub-scenes by the processing so far, and is in a state equivalent to FIG. 9b. The sound source setting itself may be performed after the first method shown in FIG. 9b. FIG. 10 shows the procedure of the second method assuming sound effects when waiting for download on the first and the Internet. The head position and the data amount of the selected sound source data are stored at appropriate positions in the table corresponding to the scene or sub-scene. The “standard” group is set not to change the sound source data, and when the setting in the same scene is completed, the setting of the next group is started. As described above, a table is created in which the step position on the program is associated with the start position of the memory to be called and the call amount. By calling the sound source data with reference to the table when the microcomputer reaches the step in the program, a desired sound effect can be generated in each scene.

  Further, by storing the sound pattern data in the holding memory EPROM, the sound pattern can be changed in the same procedure as the above-described change of the sound source data. Since the content to be taken into consideration varies depending on the function, it is reasonable to change the setting for each scene in FIG. However, as described in the previous overall explanation, the normal, safety, and silent modes are originally set, so the minimum consideration is possible with those settings.

  There are times when the user waits for processing, such as when browsing the home page or downloading data when using the Internet on a mobile phone. Such processing takes time because the communication line is not fast enough, but the cellular phone still has room for other processing. Therefore, until the homepage is opened, it is possible to entertain the user by sounding the user's favorite sound effect with a high-quality speaker. Playing the sound effect itself is the same process as playing the incoming melody. The detection of when this sound starts or ends is as follows: first when a call is made to the Internet server, secondly when the telephone is connected to the Internet server, and thirdly, the URL of the desired homepage is entered into the Internet server. When the first data has entered the mobile phone from the Internet server, and fifth when the last data has entered from the Internet server. At these times, it is possible for the user to make a sound by operating the key, but the Internet server's telephone number is stored, it is detected that a call has been made to this number, and the connection status is detected. By doing so, detection at the first and second times is possible.

  In the third case, the browser for Internet processing performs processing to send a URL to the Internet server, so that the browser confirms the URL and the two conditions that the telephone transmission key is pressed are satisfied. It can be detected. In the fourth and fifth times, the first and last can be detected by detecting the number attached to the data packet of the data sent from the Internet server. By setting any one of the above five timings at the start of sounding and setting any one after that at the end of sounding, it is possible to determine the period during which the sound effect is sounded.

  When the sounding start operation is performed, the microcomputer MPU reads the sound source data from a predetermined address in the semi-fixed holding memory EPROM and makes it sound from the high-quality sound speaker SPK. When the final data of the sound source data is read out, it returns to the beginning of the data and repeats the sound. Also, since it takes time to download data from the homepage, the fourth and fifth times described above are set as the start and end times, so that data reception that occupies most of the download time can be received. It can be sounded in between. By extracting the information from the browser, it is also possible to set the time when the download command is transmitted as the start of sounding. Since the microcomputer MPU is performing control processing while downloading, there may be a case where sufficient time cannot be spent for processing for sound effects. Therefore, there is a possibility that it cannot be reproduced particularly in the case of high-quality sound source data. Therefore, in the above-described sound source setting, when an attempt is made to set a sound source that may not be reproduced in the Internet scene, a warning sound is emitted to notify the user and prompt the user to re-change the sound source data. At the same time or separately, it is effective to display a warning text and a message prompting the user to reset the sound source on the display 2 using characters.

  In this embodiment, the URL of the home page is registered in the browser by moving the cursor to the mark “favorite” of the browser while pressing the favorite home page and pressing the enter key. If the target URL is registered in "Favorites", you can access the target homepage with a simple procedure. In other words, by placing the cursor on the “Favorite” mark and pressing the Enter key, the screen switches to a screen where you can select from multiple URLs registered in “Favorites”, and the cursor moves to the desired URL on that screen. You can access the homepage of the URL by pressing the enter key. When registering a URL in "Favorites", use the submenu to go to the sound effect setting menu, where you can select the type of sound effect you want from multiple sound effects. At this time, the head address of the sound source data of the selected sound effect is read from the table and held. Then, when returning to the menu screen of the “Favorites” setting and registering the URL, the first address of the sound source data and the value of the data amount previously stored are recorded in the semi-fixed holding memory EPROM in association with the URL. The When accessing the homepage of the URL, the microcomputer starts reading sound source data from the start address of the sound effect when the sounding start timing comes. Thereafter, the same processing as other times is performed. In this way, when accessing the “Favorites” home page, a sound effect selected according to the home page can be played.

  Whether there is a special character string in the mail, whether it is Internet mail or e-mail specific to a mobile phone, when a special sound effect is assigned to this and the data of this character string appears on the display In addition, the assigned sound effect can be generated for a predetermined time. For example, the emoticon "(^ _ ^)" can be assigned a word such as "Konchiwa" at the beginning of an email and "Ogenki de" at the end in the daytime. . If the emoticon is a laughing face, a laughing voice may be used. It seems that using emoticons is a relatively close relationship, so it seems possible to determine an appropriate sound effect. The same thing can be done with text, but the range of the content of the sentence is widened, so there is a possibility that sound effects that do not match the content may be included. Then, since it may be adversely affected, warping is necessary even if the user himself / herself sets it. When detecting emoticons, characters are applied one by one. In the above example, when “(” is detected, the emoticon detection routine starts, the second character is “^”, the third is “_”, the fourth is “^”, the fifth is “ If the sixth character is not used for the emoticon, it is determined as the emoticon and the sound effect data set in advance is sounded.

  In general, an Internet mail or an electronic mail service provided by a telephone company has a function of generating a notification sound for notifying an incoming call when an electronic mail enters a mobile phone. In this embodiment, when an e-mail arrives from a specific partner, the ring tone can be changed to a general e-mail ring tone. Since information for distinguishing whether the received information is a telephone, electronic mail or Internet mail is added and sent, the corresponding processing program is started according to the classification information. If it is an Internet mail, enter the sender's address, if it is a telephone or e-mail, enter the outgoing telephone number. If the address or telephone number is registered in advance, it will sound different from ordinary mail. , It can be notified to read without delay.
