Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal device and an incoming call operation setting method for the mobile communication terminal device.

  For users of mobile communication terminal devices typified by mobile phones, it is necessary as social consumers to observe manners regarding their use. For example, there is a manner mode in a train or a theater, and a drive mode (public mode) unless a hands-free operation is performed while driving a car. However, as long as you are a human being, you can inadvertently make mistakes. In addition, since it is troublesome to change the setting one by one, some users do not intentionally change the setting.

  In theaters and the like, even if the backlight of the back LCD leaks out, it may be noticeable, but there is no mode that can cover and set that much. On the other hand, there are some users who usually turn down the ringtone volume because they are often in a quiet place or turn it off to avoid vibrations, but in noisy downtown areas and in crowds, they notice it as it is There may be no. However, an operation that increases the ringtone volume or turns vibration on every such movement is not normally performed. Functions and means that free from such complicated setting changes are desired to improve the usability of the portable communication terminal device.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-229378 (Patent Document 1) discloses a mobile communication that identifies a location range based on information from a base station, thereby enabling setting change of internal setting information including a ring tone and a standby image. A terminal is disclosed. Furthermore, Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-278117 (Patent Document 2) discloses a technique of measuring the position of a wireless communication terminal by GPS, calculating a moving speed, and switching an operation mode.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the setting table 106 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the setting table 106 includes location setting information 1061, ringtone setting information 1062, vibration setting information 1063, rear liquid crystal setting information 1064, and voice reading setting information 1065.

  The location setting information 1061 is information for indicating to which operation mode various functions at the time of incoming call are automatically set according to the current location of the mobile communication terminal device 10. A “location” is registered for each assumed location or destination of the mobile communication terminal device 10. The location setting information 1061 is compared with the current location of the mobile communication terminal device 10 specified by collating the location information acquired by the location information acquisition device 107 with the map information 105. In the ring tone setting information 1062, the ring volume is defined. In the vibration setting information 1063, on / off of vibration notification is defined. The rear liquid crystal setting information 1064 defines ON / OFF of the rear liquid crystal (sub display) lighting. In the voice reading setting information 1065, ON / OFF of the voice reading function at the time of an incoming call is defined. The voice reading function includes, for example, a voice notification function of a caller's registered name (when the phone book is registered) and a telephone number (when the phone book is not registered), a mail text reading function when an email is received, etc. included.

  In the example of FIG. 2, “train”, “road / car”, “road (outdoor) / walk”, “theater / hall”, and the like are set as the place setting information 1061. “Train” is a setting state while riding on a train, and is set to a state equivalent to a so-called manner mode, the ring tone is set to off, the vibration is turned on, the rear liquid crystal is turned on, and the voice reading is set to off. . In this embodiment, a setting close to a known manner mode or public mode (drive mode) is possible. However, the control is limited to a range that cannot be normally controlled in these modes, such as control of the rear liquid crystal and the voice reading function. It is possible to set in detail.

  “Road / car” is a setting when it is detected that the vehicle is moving on the road. Here, a setting example when the user of the mobile communication terminal device 10 is a driver is shown, the ringtone is set to off, the vibration is turned off, the rear liquid crystal is turned off, and the voice reading is set to off. Settings equivalent to the mode (drive mode) are made. When the mobile communication terminal device 10 is set in a state where a hands-free call is possible, the setting operation of “road / car” is invalidated. Further, since a user who does not have a driver's license is always a passenger, it is possible to set this setting for passengers. For example, the ring tone is set to ON, the vibration is set to ON, the rear liquid crystal is set to ON, and the voice reading is set to OFF.

  “Road (outdoor) / walk” indicates a setting when it is detected that the user is walking outdoors. In this setting, the ring tone is set to ON and the volume is set to maximum, the vibration is set to ON, the rear liquid crystal is set to ON, and the voice reading is set to ON. Assuming that the noise is loud during outdoor movement, a setting is made that makes it easy to notice incoming calls even under noisy conditions.

  “Theater / hall” is a setting when it is detected that the user is in an indoor theater, hall, movie theater, or the like. In this setting, the ring tone is turned off, the vibration is turned off, the rear liquid crystal is turned off, and the voice reading is turned off, so that a setting equivalent to a so-called public mode (drive mode) is made.

  The setting contents as described above can be arbitrarily set and changed by the user of the mobile communication terminal device 10 by operating the key input unit 101. In addition, the user can additionally register locations and setting groups. In addition, if a basic setting group (for example, the one shown in FIG. 2) is registered in advance as a default when the mobile communication terminal device 10 is manufactured and sold, the user can use it immediately at the time of purchase.

  Next, the operation of the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation mode setting operation in the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation at the time of an incoming call in the embodiment of the present invention. First, the process from specifying the location from the current position information to specifying in the setting table 106 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This flow is performed whenever the position information is updated.

  The position information acquisition unit 107 in FIG. 1 acquires the current position information of the mobile communication terminal device 10 (step S301 in FIG. 3). Next, the base station side service center 20 is connected to the Internet using the line connection unit 108, the acquired current position information is passed to the base station side service center 20 center, the surrounding map information is requested, and the master Neighboring map information is acquired from the map information 201 (step 302). The acquired peripheral map information is stored as map information 105 in the data memory 104.

  Next, the current position information and the surrounding map information are collated, and the current location (running by car, getting on a train, in a theater or concert hall, on a street such as a downtown area, etc.) is specified (step S303). ). Then, the identified place is compared with the place setting information 1061 of the setting table 106 in FIG. 2 to search for a matching place data in the setting table 106. If there is a match, the setting information in the matched group (row unit in FIG. 2), that is, the setting information of the ringtone, vibration, rear liquid crystal, and voice-to-speech is extracted, and the setting information is used when the call is received. (Step S304).

  In the same place (for example, on the road), the determination as to whether it is a car, a subway or a walk is made as follows. The history of the acquired current position information and the specified location information is accumulated in the data memory 104. The processor 102 reads these histories, measures the change in the current position information for a certain time, and detects the moving speed. Further, the location is specified by information combined with the location movement history. For example, if the moving speed is always at the walking level, the walking is set. In addition, if it is always stopped at the position of the station and moving between the stations at a high speed, it is assumed to be a train (subway). In addition, the vehicle is determined to be a car if a movement peculiar to a car is detected, such as stopping at an intersection or a traffic light, turning at an intersection, turning off the road, making a U-turn, or the like while moving at a speed exceeding walking.

  Next, the operation when there is an incoming call will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This flow operates at any time to monitor incoming calls. In step S401, the line connection unit 108 always monitors whether there is an incoming call. If there is an incoming call, it is checked whether or not the user is currently in a location that matches the location setting information 1061 in the setting table 106 by the operation shown in FIG. 3 (step S402). If it does not match the location setting information 1061 (NO in step S402), a ring tone, vibration, etc. are operated with information preset by the user (step S404).

  When the match of the place is recognized in step S402 (YES in step S402), the incoming call operation of the mobile communication terminal device 10 is performed using the various set values of the matched place group (row unit in FIG. 2) in the setting table 106. Set and operate (step S403). That is, the ringing of the speaker 110 is controlled based on the setting of the ring tone setting information 1062. Furthermore, vibration generation of the vibration device vibrator 111 is controlled based on the setting of the vibration setting information 1063. Further, the display of the display unit 109 is controlled based on the setting of the back liquid crystal setting information 1064. Further, the utterance from the speaker 110 is controlled based on the setting of the voice reading setting information 1065.

  In the above description, the setting group of “road / car” in the setting table 106 has been described in the case of a driver or a passenger, but is not limited thereto. For example, in the case of a user who owns a driver's license, it can be a passenger, so both setting groups can be registered in advance. For example, two place setting information 1061 of “road / car (driving)” and “road / car (riding)” is provided, and an arbitrary incoming operation desired by the user is set for each of them. User one in which either, leave override (e.g., "road / vehicle (operation)"), a portable communication terminal apparatus 10, when it is determined that it is in an automobile passenger, toward the override Set to receive operation. To enable the other setting (for example, when riding together), the priority designation can be changed to the other (for example, “road / car (riding))” by a simple operation at the key input unit 101. good.

  Further, although the position information acquisition unit 107 has been described using GPS, the position information acquisition unit 107 is not limited to this, and may be an alternative means that can acquire high-accuracy position information even indoors.

  In addition, this invention is not limited only to the above-mentioned embodiment, It can implement in various deformation | transformation in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.
