Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal device with a music playback function and an incoming call notification method.

  Recent technological advances have been remarkable, and various functions have been added to mobile communication terminals such as mobile phones. Among them, the music playback function added to the mobile communication terminal attracts particular attention. For example, some recent cellular phones have an audio player, and music such as MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer III) stored in a recording medium of the cellular phone can be reproduced. In the future, it is expected that mobile phones with a music playback function will become widespread, and lifestyles for enjoying music on the mobile phones that they possess will become common.

  Such a mobile phone with a music playback function, unlike an audio device dedicated to music playback, is a communication main function, and therefore generally prioritizes the communication function over the music playback function. That is, when there is an incoming call or e-mail while listening to music, it is common to stop playing the music and notify the user of the incoming call. That is, in the mobile phone described above, priority is given to telephone calls and mail checks over music listening.

  However, in the case of incoming mail, regardless of whether the content of the mail is checked after listening to the music, the mobile phone can be used regardless of whether it is an incoming call or an incoming mail. Since music playback is immediately interrupted to notify the user of incoming mail, listening to music may be disturbed.

As a countermeasure against this, when the type of incoming call that occurs while listening to music is email, there is a technology that plays the music to the music break without interruption in the middle and notifies the user of the incoming call at this break ( For example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-333453 (page 1-4, FIG. 1)

  However, in recent years, user values have also diversified, and there are users who want to give priority to music playback over incoming calls. In addition, there is a user who desires an incoming call notification method according to the situation instead of adopting a uniform incoming call notification method. The above technique cannot respond to such user requests.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and when there is an incoming call while listening to music, a music reproduction function capable of performing an incoming call notification using a method that is more diverse and preferred by the user. An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal device and an incoming call notification method.

  The mobile communication terminal device according to the present invention includes a reproducing means for reproducing music, an importance setting means for setting the importance of the music for each music, and a plurality of incoming notification methods when there is an incoming call while the music is being reproduced. And a notification method selection unit that selects an incoming notification method used by the notification unit based on the importance.

  According to the present invention, when there is an incoming call while listening to a song, the incoming call notification can be performed using a more diverse and preferred method based on not only the type of incoming call but also the importance of the song. . Also, according to the present invention, the user can freely select an incoming call notification method.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, a mobile phone with a music playback function will be described as an example of the mobile communication terminal device with a music playback function according to the present invention.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of mobile phone 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  The telephone function unit 110 includes a wireless communication function via the antenna 120, an incoming call notification function, a screen display function on a display, a data input / output function, a camera function, and the like. Among them, the incoming call notification function includes various functions that combine two or more of them in addition to the function of ringing a ring tone, displaying an incoming call notification message, and vibrating the mobile phone. When there is an incoming call to the mobile phone 100, the telephone function unit 110 reports to the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 that the incoming call has been received before notifying the user of the incoming call. The operation of the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 that has received the report will be described later.

  The music playback function unit 130 includes a playback unit 101, a music storage unit 102, an importance level storage unit 103, and an importance level setting unit 104.

  The playback unit 101 has a function of playing back music. The playback unit 101 outputs the name of the music to be played back to the importance level holding unit 103 when the playback of the music starts, and reports to the importance level holding unit 103 that the playback has ended when the playback ends. As a result, the importance level holding unit 103 holds the song name information of the music being played back by the playback unit 101.

  The music piece holding unit 102 downloads and holds music piece data from the Internet or from another device such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory.

  The importance level holding unit 103 has a built-in importance level table, and holds the importance level for each song in the importance level table. Here, the importance is a parameter indicating a degree that the user does not want to disturb the listening of the music. The high importance means that even if there is an incoming call during the reproduction of the music, the user is notified by the incoming call notification. It means that the degree of not wanting to be disturbed is high. Details of the importance table will be described later.

  The importance level setting unit 104 provides an importance level setting screen to be described later, and the user can set the importance level for each music piece using this screen. The importance level holding unit 103 holds the importance level for each music set by the user via the importance level setting unit 104 in an importance level table built in the importance level holding unit 103.

  The incoming call notification method selection unit 105 holds an incoming call notification method table indicating the correspondence between the importance level and the incoming call notification method. When the importance level of the music is input from the importance level holding unit 103, the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 selects an incoming call notification method corresponding to the input importance level based on the held incoming notification method table, Output to the telephone function unit 110. Details of the incoming call notification method table will be described later.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the importance level table held by the importance level holding unit 103. In this figure, in order to simplify the description, the music titles are music 1 to music 4, and the music reproduced at the time when the incoming call is received is indicated by “◯”. Here, the importance of the music is divided into three levels of “A”, “B”, and “C”, and the importance becomes lower in the order of “A”, “B”, and “C” (the same applies hereinafter). . The number of importance levels of three is predetermined and is not limited to three, and may be further subdivided into four or more.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure for setting the importance of music in the mobile phone 100. In this figure, the case where the importance level of the music 2 is set will be described as an example.

  The music holding unit 102 downloads and holds music from the Internet or from another device such as a USB memory (ST1001). When downloading of music piece 2 is completed, importance setting section 104 displays an importance setting screen on the display of mobile phone 100 (ST1002). That is, at the time when downloading of music data is completed, the user is required to set the importance of the music. The user sets the importance of music 2 using the importance setting screen (ST1003), and the importance of music 2 is stored in importance holding section 103 (ST1004).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the importance setting screen (importance setting screen 140) provided by the importance setting unit 104.

  The importance setting screen 140 includes a label 141, a label 142, a text box 143, a “remaining time” label 144, and an “OK” button 145.

  The display content of the label 141 is “Music 2 has been downloaded. Please set the importance of Music 2. The importance setting range is (A to C).” The display content of the label 142 is a prompt “importance:”, and the text box 143 that follows the label 142 displays the highest importance value “A” as a default value. The label 144 displays the remaining time during which the importance setting screen 140 is displayed. For example, the remaining time is counted down from 30 seconds to 1 second. The “OK” button 145 is used by the user to confirm the setting contents and close the importance setting screen 140.

  The user sets the importance using a button panel (not shown) of the mobile phone 100. For example, when the button “B” is pressed, the display content of the text box 143 is changed from the original default value “A” to “B”. Subsequently, when the user presses an “OK” button 145, the importance setting screen 140 is closed, and the importance of the music 2 is set to “B”.

  If the above importance setting operation is not finished within a predetermined time, for example, 30 seconds after the importance setting screen 140 is displayed, the display of the importance setting screen 140 disappears from the display, and the importance of the music 2 is displayed. The degree is set to the default value “A”.

  If the user cannot set the importance level of the song using the importance level setting screen 140 within a predetermined time, or if the user wants to further change the importance level of the song set using the importance level setting screen 140, the importance level An importance level change screen (not shown) provided by the setting screen 140 may be used. For example, the importance level change screen is a screen in which a plurality of songs are displayed in a list and the importance level of each song can be set at the same time.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an incoming call notification method selection table held by the incoming call notification method selection unit 105. As shown in the figure, different notification methods of “message”, “vibration”, and “ring tone” are associated with the three levels of importance “A”, “B”, and “C”, respectively. Here, “ring tone”, “vibration”, and “message” are abbreviations for “ring ring tone”, “vibrating mobile phone”, and “displaying incoming call notification message”, respectively (hereinafter referred to as “ring alert”). The same). In the incoming call notification method, the incoming call notification is more easily recognized by the user in the order of “ring tone”, “vibration”, and “message”. As shown in the figure, an incoming call notification method that is more easily recognized by the user is associated with a lower importance level of the music being played back. This table is a rule determined in advance according to the number of importance levels of music, and four or more notification methods may be determined in advance corresponding to four or more importance levels.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a procedure for notifying the mobile phone 100 of an incoming call.

  When there is an incoming call to mobile phone 100, telephone function section 110 reports that there is an incoming call to incoming call notification method selection section 105 (ST2001). Upon receiving the report, incoming call notification method selection section 105 detects whether or not playback section 101 is playing back a song (ST2002). If the playback unit 101 detects that the music is not being played back, the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 notifies the user of the incoming call using a normal method (ST2003).

  On the other hand, when the playback unit 101 is playing a music piece when an incoming call is received, the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 refers to the importance level table (FIG. 2) held by the importance level holding unit 103 and is currently playing back. The degree of importance of the song is acquired (ST2004). For example, when the music 2 is being played back as shown in FIG. 2, the importance B of the music 2 is acquired. Next, the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 selects an incoming call notification method corresponding to the acquired importance based on the built-in incoming call notification method selection table (FIG. 5), and outputs the selection result to the telephone function unit 110 ( ST2005). For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a method of vibrating the mobile phone body is selected as an incoming call notification method corresponding to the acquired importance B, and the selection result is output to the telephone function unit 110. The telephone function unit 110 vibrates the mobile phone body according to the selection result, and notifies the user of an incoming call (ST2006).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the user sets the importance for each piece of music and an incoming call is received during the reproduction of the music, the mobile phone 100 varies depending on the importance of the music being reproduced. Since the user is notified of an incoming call using the notification method, it is possible to provide a service that better meets the needs of the user and improve the convenience of the mobile communication service.

  In this embodiment, as an incoming call notification function, a method of ringing a ring tone, displaying an incoming call notification message, vibrating a mobile phone body, and the like has been described as an example. However, a method of changing the timing of notifying an incoming call is described. May also be used. For example, the notification timing of the incoming call may be changed depending on the importance of the music, such as notification immediately when the incoming call is received or notification after the music has been listened to.

  Further, in this embodiment, the case where the incoming call notification method is changed based on only the importance level of the music has been described as an example. However, not only the importance level of the music but also the emergency level of the incoming call may be used. good. In such a case, the telephone function unit 110 may report that the incoming call is received to the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 and report the type of incoming call. The type of incoming call refers to e-mail, voice call, video phone, and the like. Here, it is considered that the degree of urgency differs depending on the type of incoming call. For example, it is assumed that an incoming call is more urgent than an incoming mail. FIG. 7 is an example of an incoming call notification method selection table showing variations of combinations of music importance and incoming call type (urgent level) in such a case. In this figure, “+” indicates a method of using two or more incoming call notification methods at the same time. For example, the notation “display + vibration” indicates a method for displaying an incoming call notification message and notifying the user of an incoming call by vibrating the mobile phone body. As shown in the figure, the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 selects an incoming call notification method that is more easily recognized by the user as the importance of the music being played is lower and the urgency of the incoming call is higher. As a result, a variety of incoming call notification methods can be selected based on more information, and the convenience of the mobile communication service can be further improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the case of not distinguishing between a nuisance incoming call and an incoming call from an acquaintance has been described as an example. However, a different incoming call notification method may be used by distinguishing an annoying call from an incoming call from an acquaintance. Here, the nuisance incoming call means an incoming nuisance call or spam mail. That is, it means an incoming call or mail from a transmission source that is not registered in the phone book or mail address book of the mobile phone 100. On the other hand, an incoming call from an acquaintance refers to an incoming call from an acquaintance and an incoming mail from an acquaintance, that is, an incoming call or mail from a sender registered in the phone book or mail address book of the mobile phone 100. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a procedure for notifying an incoming call when an unwanted incoming call is considered in the mobile phone 100. The procedure shown in FIG. 8 has the same basic steps as the procedure shown in FIG. 6. The same steps are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. The procedure shown in FIG. 8 is different from the procedure shown in FIG. 6 in that ST3001 is further provided. In ST2001, telephone function section 110 reports the incoming call to incoming call notification method selection section 105, and also reports the telephone number or mail address of the transmission source to incoming call notification method selection section 105. In ST3001, incoming call notification method selection section 105 determines whether or not the reported incoming call is a nuisance call. This determination is made by comparing the telephone number or mail address of the transmission source with the telephone book or mail address book possessed by the mobile phone 100. If the incoming call is not a nuisance call, the process proceeds to ST2002. If the incoming call is a nuisance call, the process is terminated without notifying the incoming call. As described above, when a nuisance incoming call is received during music reproduction, the incoming call notification is not performed, so that the music can be enjoyed without being interrupted by the nuisance incoming call.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of mobile phone 200 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Note that mobile phone 200 has the same basic configuration as mobile phone 100 (see FIG. 1) shown in Embodiment 1, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Is omitted.

  The mobile phone 200 is different from the mobile phone 100 shown in Embodiment 1 in that it includes an importance level update unit 106 instead of the importance level setting unit 104. In the first embodiment, the user manually sets the importance for each piece of music using the importance setting screen, but in this embodiment, the importance level update unit 106 is based on the frequency of listening to the music (listening frequency). Update the importance of the song. Here, the listening frequency refers to the number of times a music piece has been listened during a unit time, for example, one day or one week.

  The importance level update unit 106 is included in the music playback function unit 130, calculates the frequency of listening to the music every time the music is listened to, and updates the level of importance of the corresponding music based on the obtained listening frequency. The importance level is not set for the music that has never been heard. That is, only after the user listens to the music once, the importance level update unit 106 sets the importance level of the music, and updates the importance level every time the user listens to the music after the second time. Specifically, for example, the listening frequency is calculated by dividing the period (time) that has passed since the last five listening times by the number of times 4 (= 5-1) and taking the reciprocal number. When a song is listened to less than 5 times in total, the time elapsed from the time of the first listening to the time of the last listening is divided by (total number of times listened minus 1), and the reciprocal is taken to obtain the listening Calculate the frequency. Note that the listening frequency is regarded as infinite for the music that has been listened to once in total, and the importance is updated to the highest level (“A” in this case).

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the correspondence between the listening frequency of music and the importance. This correspondence is predetermined. As shown in the figure, as the frequency of listening to music is higher, it is determined that the user prefers it and does not want to disturb listening to the music, and is associated with higher importance.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the importance level update unit 106 updates the importance level every time the music is listened to, so that it is possible to save the user from manually setting the importance level for each music. And the convenience of the mobile communication service can be further improved.

  In this embodiment, the frequency of listening to music is calculated every time the music is listened to and the importance of music is updated as an example. However, the frequency of music listening is calculated every time there is an incoming call. Then, the importance level of the music may be updated.

  Also, in this embodiment, the case where the importance is updated to a higher importance as the frequency of listening to music is described as an example, but the fact that the frequency of listening to music is low is that the music is rarely listened to. For this reason, it may be determined that the music does not want to be disturbed by the incoming call, and the importance of the music may be updated to a higher importance.

  Moreover, although the case where importance was updated based on the listening frequency of music was described as an example in the present embodiment, the importance may be updated based on the date and time when the music was first saved. In such a case, the importance level update unit 106 sets the importance level of the music piece to the highest value (here, “A”) when the new music piece is stored. Note that the importance level update unit 106 may calculate the number of days that have passed since the date of first storage for each music piece in a predetermined cycle, and may correspond to the importance level. The predetermined period is determined in advance, for example, once a day. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a correspondence relationship between the number of days elapsed since the music was first stored and the importance level. This correspondence is also predetermined, and as shown in the figure, the newer the music, the more the user decides that he / she wants to listen to it, and the higher the importance is associated with.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of mobile phone 300 according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Note that mobile phone 300 has the same basic configuration as mobile phone 100 (see FIG. 1) described in Embodiment 1, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Is omitted.

  The mobile phone 300 is different from the mobile phone 100 shown in Embodiment 1 in that it further includes an incoming call notification method setting unit 107. In the first embodiment, different incoming call notification methods corresponding to different importance levels are determined in advance, and the user cannot change the corresponding relationship. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the user can set different incoming call notification methods corresponding to different importance levels using the incoming call notification method setting screen provided by the incoming call notification method setting unit 107. The correspondence between the importance set by the user and the incoming call notification method is stored in an incoming call notification method selection table held by the incoming call notification method selection unit 105. When there is an incoming call while the music is being played, the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 performs processing using the incoming call notification method selection table.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of an incoming call notification method setting screen 170 provided by the incoming call notification method setting unit 107.

  The display content of the label 171 is “importance”, and is an explanation for the labels 172 to 174 displayed under the label 171. The display contents of the labels 172 to 174 are “A”, “B”, and “C”, respectively. The display content of the label 175 is “method 1”, and the display content of the label 176 is “method 2”. The display content of the label 177 is “+”, which means that two incoming notification methods “method 1” and “method 2” are used simultaneously for a predetermined importance.

  When the incoming call notification method setting screen 170 is displayed, the incoming call notification method setting unit 107 reads and displays the content of the incoming call notification method selection table possessed by the incoming call notification method selection unit 105 as an initial value. For example, when the incoming call notification method selection table has the contents shown in FIG. 5, the initial values displayed on the incoming call notification method setting screen 170 are as shown in FIG.

The user changes the incoming call notification method corresponding to each importance level by selecting a selection item in the pull-down list 178.

  The user changes the method 1 and the method 2 corresponding to each importance, and then presses an “OK” button 180 to save the setting.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the detailed contents of the pull-down list 178 shown in FIG.

  When the pull-down list 178 is selected, the contents indicating the incoming call notification method are displayed on the screen as shown. The user can select four items, including three incoming notification methods and “blank”. Here, “blank” means that none of the three incoming call notification methods is selected. When “method 1” and “method 2” are simultaneously set to “blank” corresponding to a certain level of importance, This means that an incoming call notification method of “notifying incoming call” is associated. When the user selects one of four selectable items, the selected one item is reflected on the screen.

  FIG. 15 shows one setting example of the incoming call notification method setting screen 170. FIG. 16 shows the contents of the updated incoming call notification method selection table when the contents as shown in FIG. 15 are set.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since it is possible to freely set an incoming call notification method that meets the user's needs, it is possible to notify an incoming call in a method preferred by the user, which is convenient for mobile communication services. The property can be further improved.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the configuration of the incoming call notification method setting is applied to the first embodiment has been described as an example. However, the configuration of the incoming call notification method setting can also be applied to the second embodiment.

  The mobile phone 400 is different from the mobile phone 100 shown in Embodiment 1 in that the mobile phone 400 further includes a reproduction operation control unit 108. When an incoming call is received during music playback, the playback operation control unit 108 controls the playback operation of the playback unit 101 in a different manner based on the importance of the music being played back. When the telephone function unit 110 reports an incoming call, the playback operation control unit 108 refers to the importance level table held by the importance level holding unit 103, and differs depending on the importance level of the music being played back. Select. The reproduction operation control unit 108 outputs the selected control method to the reproduction unit 101. The plurality of control methods that can be selected by the reproduction operation control unit 108 include, for example, an option of stopping the reproduction operation and an option of continuing the reproduction operation. The reproduction operation control unit 108 holds a correspondence relationship between the importance level and the reproduction operation control method as a reproduction operation control method table.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of the reproduction operation control method table. As shown in this figure, the control methods associated with the importance levels “A”, “B”, and “C” are “continuation of reproduction”, “continuation of reproduction”, and “stop reproduction”. That is, a control method with a higher degree of change in the playback operation of the playback unit 101 is associated with a lower importance of music. The correspondence relationship between the importance shown in this figure and the playback operation control method is predetermined.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a procedure for notifying the mobile phone 400 of incoming calls and controlling the reproduction of music. Note that this processing flow has the same steps as the flow of the incoming call notification procedure shown in FIG. 6, and the same steps are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  This flow is shown by adding the control procedure of the reproduction operation control unit 108 to the incoming notification procedure shown in FIG. 6, and the flow shown in FIG. 6 is further provided with ST4004, ST4005 and ST4006. In the following, only these steps will be described.

  When the playback unit 101 is playing a song at the time when an incoming call arrives, the playback operation control unit 108 refers to the importance level table (FIG. 2) held by the importance level holding unit 103 to determine the song being played back. The importance level is acquired (ST4004). For example, when the music 2 is being played back as shown in FIG. 2, the importance B of the music 2 is acquired. Next, the playback operation control unit 108 selects a playback operation control method corresponding to the acquired importance based on the playback operation control method table (see FIG. 18) provided in the playback operation control unit 108, and displays the selection result as the playback unit 101.
