  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of response message data. Referring to FIG. 5, the response message data is associated with the first response message associated with the business mode and the manner mode, the second response message associated with the private mode and the manner mode, and the business mode and the normal mode. A first rejection response message and a second rejection response message associated with the private mode and the normal mode. The first response message is a response message to be played when the mobile telephone 1 is set to the business mode and the manner mode and responds to an incoming call. The second response message is a response message to be played when the mobile phone 1 responds to an incoming call when the private mode and the manner mode are set. The first rejection response message is a response message to be played when the mobile phone 1 is set to the business mode and the normal mode and responds to an incoming call from the telephone assigned with the telephone number of the private contact. It is. The second rejection response message is a response message that is played back when the mobile phone 1 is set to the private mode and the normal mode and responds to an incoming call from a telephone assigned with a business contact telephone number. It is.

  6 to 10 are flowcharts showing an example of the flow of incoming processing. The incoming call process is a process executed by the control unit 21 when the control unit 21 executes an incoming program stored in the ROM 31. 6 to 10, control unit 21 is in a standby state until an incoming call is detected (NO in step S01), and when an incoming call is detected, the process proceeds to step S02. That is, the incoming call process is a process executed on condition that there is an incoming call. In step S02, it is determined whether or not the cellular phone 1 is set to the manner mode. If mobile phone 1 is set to the manner mode, the process proceeds to step S03. If the mobile phone 1 is set to the normal mode instead of the manner mode, the process proceeds to step S09.

  In step S03, the incoming call detected in step S01 is answered. As a result, a line is connected to the telephone that made the call, and a call can be made. In step S04, it is determined whether or not the mobile phone 1 is set to the business mode. If mobile phone 1 is set to the business mode, the process proceeds to step S05, and if not the business mode and the private mode is set, the process proceeds to step S06. In step S05, the first response message is reproduced, and the process proceeds to step S07. In step S06, the second response message is reproduced, and the process proceeds to step S07. The first response message is stored in advance in the EEPROM 33 in association with the manner mode and the business mode. The user may input voice from the microphone 13 and store the voice. The first response message is a business message answering message. The second response message is stored in advance in the EEPROM 33 in association with the manner mode and the private mode. The user may input voice from the microphone 13 and store the voice. The second response message is a private answering machine message.

  In step S07, the voice of the other party is recorded. Then, it is determined whether or not the call has ended. If the call has ended, the process proceeds to step S30. If not, the process returns to step S07 to continue recording. The call is terminated when a predetermined time elapses or when the line is disconnected, whichever comes first.

  In step S30, a call charge is calculated. The call charge is calculated from the call time and a predetermined call charge per unit time. Moreover, you may make it receive a telephone call charge from a network. Then, it is determined whether or not the mobile phone 1 is set in the business mode (step S31). If the mobile phone 1 is set in the business mode, the process proceeds to step S32. If the mobile phone 1 is set in the private mode instead of the business mode, The process proceeds to step S33. In step S32, the calculated call charge is stored in the business area of the EEPROM 33. In the case of storing the accumulated charge, a new accumulated charge is calculated from the call charge and the accumulated charge stored so far, and the accumulated charge is updated. In step S33, the calculated call charge is stored in a private area of the EEPROM 33. In the case of storing the accumulated charge, a new accumulated charge is calculated from the call charge and the accumulated charge stored so far, and the accumulated charge is updated.

  Thus, a call charge charged for a call when the mobile phone 1 is set in the business mode and a call charge charged for a call when the mobile phone 1 is set in the private mode are separately provided. Remembered.

  On the other hand, the process proceeds to step S09 when the mobile phone 1 is set in the normal mode. In step S09, it is determined whether or not the mobile phone 1 is set in the business mode. If mobile phone 1 is set in the business mode, the process proceeds to step S10. If the mobile phone 1 is set in the private mode instead of the business mode, the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S10, it is determined whether the telephone number received together with the incoming call detected in step S01 is a private contact. If the incoming call is from a telephone assigned with a telephone number registered in the private contact, the process proceeds to step S11; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S15. When the process proceeds to step S11, it is preferable not to perform an incoming call operation such as outputting a ringtone or driving a vibrator. Thus, when the business mode is set, it is possible to prevent the user from being notified of an incoming call from a telephone assigned with a telephone number registered in the private contact. On the other hand, when the process proceeds to step S15, an incoming call operation is performed to notify the user that an incoming call has been received.

  In step S11, the incoming call detected in step S01 is answered. As a result, a line is connected to the telephone that made the call, and a call can be made. In step S12, the first rejection response message is reproduced, and the process proceeds to step S13. The first rejection response message is stored in advance in the EEPROM 33 in association with the normal mode and the business mode. The user may input voice from the microphone 13 and store the voice. The first rejection response message is a message or the like notifying that the telephone cannot be answered because the business is in a private style.

  In step S13, the other party's voice is recorded. At this time, the other party's voice is not output from the first speaker 11 or the second speaker 12. This is to prevent the user from being notified of a call with the user of the telephone set to which the telephone number registered in the private contact is assigned when the business mode is set. Then, it is determined whether or not the call has ended. If the call has ended, the process proceeds to step S30. If not, the process returns to step S13 in order to continue recording.

  In step S15, it is determined whether a response instruction has been accepted. If a response instruction input operation in which the user presses the call button on operation key 14 is detected, the process proceeds to step S16; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S19. In step S16, the incoming call is answered. The incoming call operation is stopped simultaneously with the response. By responding in step S16, a call can be made with the telephone that made the call (step S17). In step S18, it is determined whether or not the call has ended. If the call has ended, the process proceeds to step S30. If the call has not ended, the process returns to step S17 to continue the call. On the other hand, in step S19, it is determined whether or not the incoming call is finished. If the incoming call is finished, the process proceeds to step S30. If the incoming call is not finished, the process returns to step S15.

  In step S20, it is determined whether the telephone number received together with the incoming call detected in step S01 is a business contact. If the incoming call is from a telephone assigned with the telephone number registered in the business contact, the process proceeds to step S21; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S25. When the process proceeds to step S21, it is preferable not to perform an incoming call operation such as outputting a ringtone or driving a vibrator. Thereby, when the private mode is set, it is possible to prevent the user from being notified of an incoming call from a telephone assigned with a telephone number registered in the business contact. On the other hand, when the process proceeds to step S25, an incoming call operation is performed to notify the user that an incoming call has been received.

  In step S21, the incoming call detected in step S01 is answered. As a result, a line is connected to the telephone that made the call, and a call can be made. In step S22, the second rejection response message is reproduced, and the process proceeds to step S23. The second rejection response message is stored in advance in the EEPROM 33 in association with the normal mode and the private mode. The user may input voice from the microphone 13 and store the voice. The second rejection response message includes a message notifying that the telephone cannot be answered because the business style is out of business hours.

  In step S23, the other party's voice is recorded. At this time, the other party's voice is not output from the first speaker 11 or the second speaker 12. This is to prevent the user from being notified of a call with the user of the telephone set to which the telephone number registered in the business contact is assigned when the private mode is set. Then, it is determined whether or not the call has ended. If the call has ended, the process proceeds to step S30. If not, the process returns to step S23 in order to continue recording.

  In step S25, it is determined whether a response instruction has been accepted. If a response instruction input operation in which the user presses the call button on operation key 14 is detected, the process proceeds to step S26; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S29. In step S26, the incoming call is answered. The incoming call operation is stopped simultaneously with the response. By responding in step S26, a call can be made with the calling telephone (step S27). In step S28, it is determined whether or not the call has ended. If the call has ended, the process proceeds to step S30. If the call has not ended, the process returns to step S27 to continue the call. On the other hand, in step S29, it is determined whether or not the incoming call has ended. If the incoming call has ended, the process proceeds to step S30. If the incoming call has not ended, the process returns to step S25.

  As described above, when there is an incoming call when the cellular phone 1 is set to the manner mode, the answering machine function is enabled and a response message is reproduced, but the cellular phone 1 is set to the business mode. If the mobile phone 1 is set to the private mode, the second response message is reproduced. Since the response message can be made different between the business mode and the private mode, one mobile phone can be used properly between business and non-business without being confused.

  In addition, when the mobile phone 1 is set to the normal mode and the business mode, if there is an incoming call from a telephone with a telephone number classified as a private contact, the answering machine function is enabled without informing the incoming call. The For this reason, it is possible to prevent the user from making a private call during business hours, and it is possible to improve business efficiency.

  In addition, when the mobile phone 1 is set to the normal mode and the private mode, if there is an incoming call from a telephone having a telephone number classified as a business contact, the answering machine function is activated without notifying the incoming call. The For this reason, it is possible to prevent the user from making a call related to work outside the business hours. For this reason, it is possible to make the user feel relaxed outside the business hours without reminding the user of the business.

  Further, when the answering machine function is activated, when the mobile phone 1 is set in the business mode, the first rejection response message is reproduced, and when the mobile phone 1 is set in the private mode. The second rejection response message is reproduced. Since the rejection response message can be made different between the business mode and the private mode, one mobile phone 1 can be used properly without being confused between business and non-business.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the phone book input process. The phone book input process is a process executed by the control unit 21 when the control unit 21 executes a phone book input program. Referring to FIG. 9, control unit 21 determines whether a name has been received (step S41). When the user operates the operation key 14, the name is input to the operation unit 25, and the control unit 21 receives the name input from the operation unit 25. Then, it is determined whether a telephone number or an e-mail address has been accepted (step S42). The telephone number or the e-mail address is received from the operation unit 25 in the same manner as the nomination. Further, the telephone number or the e-mail address may be read from the received e-mail and accepted by the operation of registering the telephone number or the e-mail address from the received e-mail. Then, phone book data is generated from the name and the telephone number or / and the e-mail address (step S43). Furthermore, it will be in a standby state until a category is accepted (NO in step S44). If a category is accepted, the process proceeds to step S45. The classification is identification information for distinguishing between private and business. In step S45, the category accepted in step S44 is added to the phone book data generated in step S43, and the phone book data is stored in the EEPROM 33.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an exemplary flow of the telephone directory output process. The phone book output process is a process executed by the control unit 21 when the control unit 21 executes a phone book output program. The phone book output process is a process in which the control unit 21 receives and executes the output instruction when the user inputs an instruction to output the phone book data to the operation unit 25. Referring to FIG. 10, control unit 21 determines whether or not mobile phone 1 is set to the business mode (step S51). If mobile phone 1 is set to the business mode, the process proceeds to step S52. If the mobile phone 1 is set to the private mode instead of the business mode, the process proceeds to step S54. In step S52, the telephone book data of the business contact is extracted from the EEPROM 33 with reference to the telephone book data classification. Then, the phone book data classified by the extracted business contact information is displayed (step S53). On the other hand, in step S54, the phone book data of the private contact is extracted from the EEPROM 33 by referring to the phone book data classification. Then, the phone book data classified into the extracted private contacts is displayed (step S55).

  As described above, when the mobile phone 1 is set to the business mode, when the phone book data is displayed, only the phone book data classified as the business contact information is displayed, so that it is not related to the business during the business. It is possible to improve work efficiency by not displaying the phone book data. In addition, when the mobile phone 1 is set to the private mode, when the phone book data is displayed, only the phone book data classified as private contacts is displayed. By not displaying the phone book data, the user can feel relaxed without reminding the user of the work. For this reason, it is possible to use one mobile phone properly for both business and non-business without public / private confusion.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary flow of a schedule input process. The schedule input process is a process executed by the control unit 21 when the control unit 21 executes a schedule input program. Referring to FIG. 11, control unit 21 determines whether a date and time have been received (step S61). When the user operates the operation key 14, the date and time are input to the operation unit 25, and the control unit 21 receives the date and time input from the operation unit 25. A calendar may be displayed on the LCD 16 so that the user can specify the date from the calendar. Then, it is determined whether or not character data or voice data has been received (step S62). The character data is input to the operation unit 25 when the user operates the operation key 14, and the control unit 21 receives the character data input from the operation unit 25. When the user inputs voice to the microphone 13, the control unit 21 receives voice data obtained by converting the voice into an electric signal from the microphone 13. Then, schedule data is generated from the date and time, name, character data or / and voice data (step S63). Further, the system stands by until a category is accepted (NO in step S64). If a category is accepted, the process proceeds to step S65. The classification is identification information for distinguishing whether the schedule data is private or business. In step S65, the category received in step S64 is added to the schedule data generated in step S63, and the schedule data is stored in the EEPROM 33.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary flow of a schedule output process. The schedule output process is a process executed by the control unit 21 when the control unit 21 executes a schedule output program. The schedule output process is a process in which, when the user inputs an instruction to output schedule data to the operation unit 25, the control unit 21 receives the output instruction and executes it. Referring to FIG. 12, control unit 21 determines whether or not mobile phone 1 is set to the business mode (step S71). If mobile phone 1 is set in the business mode, the process proceeds to step S72. If mobile phone 1 is set in the private mode instead of the business mode, the process proceeds to step S74. In step S72, business schedule data is extracted from the EEPROM 33 by referring to the schedule data classification. Then, the character data included in the extracted business schedule data is displayed on the LCD 16, and the voice data included in the extracted business schedule data is reproduced and output (step S73).

  On the other hand, in step S74, schedule data for private use is extracted from the EEPROM 33 with reference to the schedule data classification. Then, the character data included in the extracted private schedule data is displayed on the LCD 16, and the voice data included in the extracted private schedule data is reproduced and output (step S75). The audio data of the schedule data is output from the first speaker 11 or the second speaker 12. Further, when the earphone is connected to the mobile phone 1, the audio data of the schedule data is output to the earphone without being output from the first speaker 11 or the second speaker 12.

  As described above, when the mobile phone 1 is set to the business mode, if the schedule data is output, only the schedule data classified for the business is output. It is possible to improve the efficiency of business by not outputting. In addition, when the mobile phone 1 is set to the private mode, if the schedule data is output, only the schedule data classified into the private contact information is output. By not outputting, it is possible to make the user feel relaxed without reminding the user of the work outside the work hours. For this reason, one mobile phone 1 can be used properly without public / private confusion between business and non-business.

  In addition, since the audio data included in the schedule data is reproduced and output from the first speaker or the second speaker, the schedule can be confirmed by voice. For this reason, a schedule can be confirmed while performing other work. In addition, when the user wants to check the schedule in a public place such as a train, if the earphone is attached to the mobile phone 1, the schedule can be checked without being known to others.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of a call charge output process. The call charge output process is a process executed by the control unit 21 when the control unit 21 executes a call charge output program. The call charge output process is a process in which the control unit 21 receives and executes the output instruction when the user inputs an instruction to output the call charge to the operation unit 25. Referring to FIG. 13, control unit 21 determines whether or not mobile phone 1 is set to the business mode (step S81). If mobile phone 1 is set in the business mode, the process proceeds to step S82. If mobile phone 1 is set in the private mode instead of the business mode, the process proceeds to step S84. In step S82, the call charge stored in the business area of the EEPROM 33 is read. Then, the read business call area is displayed (step S83). On the other hand, in step S84, the call charge stored in the private area of the EEPROM 33 is read. Then, the read private call area is displayed (step S85).

  In this way, when the mobile phone 1 is set in the business mode and the call charge is displayed, only the call charge charged for the call when the business mode is set can be displayed. In addition, when the mobile phone 1 is set to the private mode and the call charge is displayed, only the call charge charged for the call when the private mode is set can be displayed. For this reason, call charges charged for calls made during work and call charges taken outside work can be managed separately, so a single mobile phone can be confused between business and non-work. It can be used properly.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mobile phone 1 has been described. However, as a data output method for causing the mobile phone 1 to execute the processes shown in FIGS. 6 to 13 or a data output program for causing a computer to execute the processing. It goes without saying that the invention can be caught.
