Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile phone device capable of performing a three-party call service or a switched call service.

  Currently, there is a simultaneous call service called a three-party call service (multi-party) as a service provided by a mobile phone carrier. As shown in FIG. 10, this is a service that allows a voice call with all connected speakers. Currently, up to three people including myself can talk simultaneously.

  As a service similar to the three-party call service, there is a switched call service. As shown in FIG. 11, the switched call service is connected to a plurality of speakers (currently, up to two people), but there is only one speaker other than the speaker in the call state. For this reason, the other speakers are in a connected state but in a suspended state. When switching the person to be called, it is necessary to put the speaker who has been on the call until then on hold.

  Here, when it is possible to switch the person to be called by switching call during a call or to change the mode between switched call and multi-party call mode, one of the methods is by key operation. Some call up the menu screen. This can be selected from items displayed on the menu screen, such as the speaker who starts the next call, the start of a multi-party, or the start of a switched call.

  In the method of switching the person to be called using the menu screen as described above, the number of persons who are on hold is finally determined by looking at the menu screen. That is, the present invention can be effective only in the current situation where the number of speakers that can be connected to one mobile phone is limited to two. However, the next-generation mobile phone IMT-2000 (International Mobile) using W-CDMA (Wide Band-Code Division Multiple Access) in which the number of speakers that can be connected to one mobile phone by a mobile phone carrier is more than the current number. When the specification is changed as in Telecommunication-2000), the method of switching the person to be called using the menu screen allows the user to put a number of speakers on hold until the display screen switches to the menu screen. Or who is on hold is difficult to recognize.

  As the number of speakers on hold increases, there is a higher possibility that the user will not be able to grasp the connection status. Further, when the display screen is switched for selecting a speaker or changing a call mode, the menu list becomes complicated due to an increase in the number of connected speakers. For this reason, until the user gets used to the operation, the user may not be able to understand and grasp the operation and may be confused.

  In the current three-party call service and switching call service, it is difficult to grasp the switching state between the two, and in the case of a three-party call, when switching from two to three, who is new It may be confusing to know if you have joined.

  For this reason, it is easy to recognize how many speakers the user is currently connected to, and who is connected to them. There is a need to develop a user interface that is visually clear and simple to operate so that it can be easily performed.

  The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is that a user can easily grasp a three-party call service, a switched call service, etc. on a display, and can easily change a call mode. It is to provide a mobile phone device.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a multi-person communication means for simultaneously establishing a wireless communication connection with a plurality of communication connection destinations, and an identification information storage means for storing identification information for identifying the communication connection destinations. And display means for displaying identification information of each of the plurality of communication connection destinations and identification information of the current caller when performing wireless communication connection with a plurality of communication connection destinations using the plurality of communication means, and a plurality of persons Communication connection contents storage means for storing communication connection contents and telephone directory storage means for storing communication connection destinations when performing wireless communication connection with a plurality of communication connection destinations using communication means, and communication connection contents The storage means stores, for each wireless communication connection, information including at least one of a communication partner name, a telephone number, and a call time among a plurality of communication connection destinations.

  In another invention, in addition to the above-mentioned invention, when a wireless communication connection is made with a plurality of communication connection destinations using a multi-person communication means, a new wireless communication connection is called. The display means may display the identification information of the communication connection destination that is calling the wireless communication connection in addition to the identification information for identifying the plurality of currently displayed communication connection destinations.

  Further, in addition to the above-described invention, another invention may further newly establish wireless communication with other than the current communication connection destination when performing wireless communication connection with a plurality of communication connection destinations using the multi-person communication means. When the connection is established, the identification information of the communication destination of the wireless communication connection may be displayed in addition to the identification information for identifying a plurality of currently displayed communication connection destinations.

  In addition to the above-described invention, the other invention may further include any one of the plurality of communication connection destinations when performing wireless communication connection with the plurality of communication connection destinations using the multi-person communication means. When the communication connection destination is disconnected, the display unit may delete the display indicating the identification information of the communication connection destination disconnected.

  In another invention, in addition to the above-described invention, when the wireless communication connection is made with a plurality of communication connection destinations using the multi-person communication means, the display means identifies the plurality of communication connection destinations. Information may be displayed side by side in the order registered in the telephone directory storage means.

  In another invention, in addition to the above-described invention, when the wireless communication connection is made with a plurality of communication connection destinations using the multi-person communication means, the display means is connected to the wireless communication. You may make it display time.

  In addition to the above-mentioned invention, the other invention further includes a telephone book in the plurality of communication connection destinations when performing wireless communication connection with the plurality of communication connection destinations using the multi-person communication means. When there is a communication connection destination that is not stored in the storage means, the display means may display that the communication connection destination is not stored in the telephone directory storage means.

  According to the present invention, since the connected speaker identification information is displayed on the display, it is possible to easily confirm the other party who is currently talking by simply looking at the display. In addition, since the partner who is currently connected is displayed on the display and the connected speaker identification information is also displayed on the display, the user can immediately recognize who is the connected speaker. It becomes possible.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a mobile phone device 10 of the present invention. In this figure, the mobile phone device 10 has an operation panel 11 on which a user performs various operations. This operation panel 11 has a numeric keypad 12 for the user to input the telephone number of the other party. When the user inputs a telephone number by operating the numeric keypad 12 and makes a call, a call is made through the W-CDMA processing circuit 21, the transmission / reception circuit 22 and the antenna 32 by the processing of the CPU 20. Then, a communication protocol is established with any base station (not shown) located around the mobile phone device 10.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, on the operation panel 11, in addition to the numeric keypad 12, a call key 13, a function button 14 for calling a telephone book function, an end call key and a direction button (not shown) are shown. And a determination button are provided.

  When an incoming call is received from the other party, the CPU 20 drives the electronic sound generating circuit 24 to generate a ring tone from the speaker 25. If the vibration mode is set, the CPU 20 outputs a signal to the vibration pattern control circuit 26 to drive the vibration motor 27 to generate vibration. Then, when the user presses the call key 13, the CPU 20 establishes a communication protocol with any of the surrounding base stations. In this way, a call with the other party becomes possible.

  In addition, the voice signal input from the microphone 31 by the user in a state where a call with the other party is possible is subjected to predetermined processing by the voice processing circuit 30 and the W-CDMA processing circuit 21. The audio signal output from here is modulated by the modem 23, and the modulated signal is given to the antenna 32 via the transmission / reception circuit 22. As a result, the audio signal is transmitted to the base station that has established the communication protocol.

  The voice signal of the other party is output from the same base station and is captured by the antenna 32. The captured audio signal is given to the transmission / reception circuit 22. Then, the output of the transmission / reception circuit 22 is demodulated by the modem 23. The demodulated signal is given to the speaker 35 via the W-CDMA processing circuit 21 and the audio processing circuit 30. In this way, the voice of the communication partner can be heard.

  Here, a RAM 40 and a ROM 43 are connected to the CPU 20. Among these, the ROM 43 stores wallpaper and the like to be displayed on the display 42 via the drawing circuit 41 and stores a program such as an OS for operating the portable electronic device 10. The ROM 43 stores various connected speaker icons 50 to be displayed on the display 42. For example, the connected speaker icon 50 is as shown in FIG. The connection speaker icon 50 may be an icon stored in the ROM 43 in advance, or may be an image captured by the user with a digital camera or an image captured by the user via the Internet or the like.

  Here, a storage example of the connected speaker icon 50 in the RAM 40 is shown in FIG. As shown in this figure, for example, some stored examples of the connected speaker icon 50 are stored in a tabular format inside the telephone directory function. As an item stored in the table format, No. indicating which column is registered. In addition, there are icon items indicating the connected speaker icon 50 together with the name, telephone number, and mail address. Each of these items is classified for each line, and one No. Each has a name, a telephone number, an e-mail address, and a connected speaker icon 50 line. In this way, the connected speaker icon database is configured.

  The connected speaker icons 50 are not necessarily different from each other, and the same speaker icons 50 registered in other columns may be used. In addition, in consideration of the case where the communication protocol is established with the other party whose connection speaker icon 50 is not registered in the phone book, an icon for a phone book unregistered person may be provided. Further, in consideration of the case where the other party is calling from a public telephone, a public telephone icon may be provided.

  Furthermore, the icons are not shown in the phone book, but are simply graphics that show the “first speaker”, “second speaker”, “third speaker”, etc. The information may be stored in the RAM 40 or the ROM 43 and used for each connected speaker according to the call start order.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the connected speaker icons 50 are displayed on the display 42 for all the connected speakers when the communication protocol is established with one or more other parties. . The connected speaker icon 50 of the other party during the call is displayed, for example, enlarged or displayed in reverse video. As a result, among the connected speaker icons 50 arranged in parallel on the display 42, it is possible to easily distinguish a partner who is currently talking and a partner who is currently on hold.

  Here, the connected speaker icon 50 is automatically displayed on the display 42 when a communication program is established as a connected speaker icon display means when a communication protocol is established with one or more other parties. Is done. In this display program, generally, for example, the display protocol is arranged in the left corner of the display 42 from the order in which the communication protocol is established first.

  However, when registered in the phone book, the No. Various changes can be made, such as displaying the images arranged in the left corner in order, or displaying them at other positions such as the upper part of the display 42. This display program is stored in the ROM 43, but when activated, the display program exists in the RAM 40. The connected speaker display icon 50 is also drawn from the ROM 43 to the RAM 40 when displayed.

  Here, when switching a speaker to another person, in this embodiment, a selection frame 51 as a connected speaker icon selection unit as shown in FIG. 2B is used. The selection frame 51 can be moved between the connected speaker icons 50, for example, by operating a direction button (not shown). If the determination button is pressed as it is, the selection frame 51 is displayed by the connected speaker icon 50 where the current position is located. The call can be switched to the other party.

  The selection frame 51 has not only a function as a connected speaker icon selection means but also a function as a mode change icon selection means. By moving this selection frame 51 onto a predetermined connected speaker icon 50 or a multi-party icon 52 as a call mode change icon to be described later and clicking with a decision button (not shown) on the operation key 11, The other party is switched or the call mode is changed from the switched call mode to the multi-party mode. That is, the selection frame 51, the determination button, and the like function as connected speaker switching means and call mode switching means.

  When a communication protocol is established between two or more persons in a call with another person, the CPU 20 detects the state and determines that the multi-party can be executed. The multi-party icon 52 is displayed. The multi-party icon 52 is, for example, displayed as “MP” in FIG. 2 or the like, and easily switches the call mode from the switched call state to the multi-party state.

  The above-described selection frame 51 is also used when switching the call mode from switched call to multi-party. In this case, the call mode is switched from the switched call state to the multi-party call state by placing the selection frame 51 on the multi-party icon 52 and pressing an enter button (not shown).

  Further, when the other party is switched or the mode is switched from the switching call mode to the multi-party mode, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. A display in which an arrow-like balloon 53 is blown out from the icon 50 is performed. By this display, it is possible to reliably grasp the name of the other party and the telephone number corresponding to the connected speaker icon 50 to which the selection frame 51 is matched. At the same time, if the connection status (calling / holding, etc.) of the connected speaker icon 50 to which the selection frame 51 is matched, the call time, etc., are displayed, the connection status, the call time, etc. can be grasped. It can be done reliably.

  The call partner name, phone number, and time information related to the call are stored in the RAM 40 in association with the connected speaker icon 50 when the call is started. Every time a call mode switching operation is performed, the connection speaker icon 50 is updated and stored.

  Here, in the above-described connection state (calling / holding, etc.) and call duration display, the selection frame 51 may be displayed only by being positioned on the connected speaker icon 50. Further, when a determination button is pressed or a predetermined time elapses, switching of a call to a call partner to which the selection frame 51 is matched may be executed.

  The multi-party icon 52 is also stored in the ROM 43 separately from the above-described telephone book. The multi-party icon 52 stored in the ROM 43 is automatically displayed when a communication program is established with two or more communication partners and a display program as a mode change icon display means is activated. Displayed above.

  When the selection frame 51 is set to the multi-party icon 52, based on the information stored in the RAM 40 in association with the connected speaker icon 50, the call partner name, the phone number, the call time, and the multi-party icon 52 are displayed. Display the party mode.

  Here, in the following description, a call establishment procedure will be described with reference to FIGS. In the drawings corresponding to the following description, a display state of the display 42 when a specific operation is performed is shown. In the following description, the description will be made with the IMT-2000 of the W-CDMA system, which is a third-generation mobile phone capable of holding two or more calls, in mind.

  First, as an initial procedure, as shown in FIG. Then, a call is established between Mr. A and the user. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the user is talking with Mr. A, the call with Mr. A is put on hold.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4C, the menu is displayed in the hold state, and the telephone directory is called and displayed on the display 42. Further, the user may input the telephone number independently without calling up the telephone directory. Then, while Mr. A is kept on hold, for example, Mr. B is designated and then the call is made. Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, the call with Mr. B is established while the call with Mr. A is kept on hold, and a call with Mr. B is started.

  At this time, since the voice of Mr. A and the voice of Mr. B are mixed on the communication network side, it becomes possible to shift to the multi-party mode in which a completely simultaneous call with the user can be performed. A multi party icon 52 such as “MP” is also displayed together with 50.

  Here, a specific example in which the call mode is switched in a state where the calls with Mr. A and Mr. B are established as described above will be described below. First, the actual change from the switched call mode to the multi-party mode will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6A, the user who uses the mobile phone device 10 is in a talking state with Mr. A, but is in a holding state with Mr. B. At this time, the connected speaker icon 50 (in this example, a coin mark) indicating Mr. A is selected on the display 42 by the selection frame 51, and a specific display such as blinking display, shaded display or reverse display is performed. It has been done. A balloon 53 displays a state where a balloon is being blown from the connected speaker icon 50 indicating Mr. A.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6B, the selection frame 51 is moved onto the multi-party icon 52 before the time of a timer or the like which will be described later is up by a key operation. Then, on the display 42, the call time of Mr. A who is in a call is displayed, and that Mr. B is on hold and its hold time are displayed. Also, the balloon 53 displays a state where the balloon from the multi-party icon 52 is ballooned. In addition, since the call in the switching call mode with Mr. A continues, the connected speaker icon 50 indicating Mr. A remains blinking, shaded, inverted, or the like.

  Furthermore, when the user clicks on the enter button or when a certain time elapses from the state shown in FIG. 6B, the mode is changed to the multi-party mode as shown in FIG. Will be able to talk to both A and B at the same time. At this time, the multi-party icon 52 is flashed, shaded, highlighted, etc., and the flashing, shaded, highlighted, etc. of the connected speaker icon 50 indicating Mr. A is canceled.

  The actual change from the multi-party mode to the switched call mode will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7A shows a state in which the user who uses the cellular phone device 10 is in a multi-party mode in which both the user A and the user B can talk. At this time, the display 42 shows the respective call times with Mr. A and Mr. B. The selection frame 51 surrounds the multi-party icon 52, and the balloon 53 displays a state as if the balloon is from the multi-party icon 52.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 7B, the selection frame 51 is moved onto a connected speaker icon 50 (in this example, a dog mark) indicating Mr. B by a key operation or the like. Then, the call time with Mr. B is displayed on the display 42. The tip of the balloon 53 moves to the connected speaker icon 50 indicating Mr. B. Note that since the multi-party mode is continued, the multi-party icon 52 is blinked, shaded, highlighted, or the like.

  Further, in the state shown in FIG. 7B (in this state, it is still in the multi-party mode), when an operation such as clicking with the enter button or a certain time elapses is performed, the state shown in FIG. As described above, the mode is switched to the switching call mode, and only the Mr. B call is made, and the Mr. A is put on hold. At this time, the connected speaker icon 50 (the dog mark in this example) indicating the selected Mr. B is flashed, shaded, highlighted, etc., and the multi-party icon 52 is highlighted, shaded. Or reverse display is canceled.

  A case where the call is switched from Mr. A to Mr. B in the switching call mode will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8A shows a state in which only a call is made with Mr. A. At this time, on the display 42, the call time only for Mr. A is shown, and the balloon 53 displays a state of being blown out from the connected speaker icon 50 of Mr. A. In addition, the connected speaker icon 50 (in this example, a coin mark) of Mr. A is displayed in blinking, shaded, inverted, or the like.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8B, the selection frame 51 is moved onto the connected speaker icon 50 indicating Mr. B by a key operation. Then, the display on the display 42 displays Mr. B's call state (holding state) and the holding time. Further, the tip of the balloon 53 points to the connected speaker icon 50 indicating Mr. B. Since the switch call mode call with Mr. A continues, the connected speaker icon 50 indicating Mr. A remains blinking, shaded, highlighted, or the like.

  Further, in the state of FIG. 8 (b), when an operation such as clicking with the enter button or performing a certain period of time has been performed, as shown in FIG. , It is possible to switch to a state in which only talking with Mr. B. At this time, the connected speaker icon 50 indicating Mr. B is blinked, shaded or highlighted, and the blinking display, shaded or highlighted display of the connected speaker icon 50 indicating Mr. A is canceled. In this way, the call from Mr. A to Mr. B is switched.

  The above is a specific example of switching the call mode. When the call is terminated, for example, when the call with Mr. A is finished and the call is terminated with Mr. A, the operation at this time is as follows. Then, press the end key (not shown). As a result, Mr. A's call is terminated, and the remaining Mr. B's call holding state is forcibly shifted. Then, if Mr. B's hold state is canceled, only the call with Mr. B will be made thereafter.

  When the call with Mr. A is terminated in this way, the connected speaker icon 50 displaying Mr. A disappears from the display 42 as shown in FIG. Further, since the call is established only with Mr. B, the multi-party icon 52 such as “MP” also disappears from the display 42. Thereafter, the call is transferred only to Mr. B.

  In addition, when a user further transmits to another C here, it follows the description based on the above-mentioned FIG.4 and FIG.5. That is, first, the call with Mr. B is put on hold, and then Mr. C is designated and transmitted. Then, a call is established with Mr. C. Thereafter, the switching of the call mode between Mr. B and Mr. C and the switching of the call between Mr. B and Mr. C are the same as the case between Mr. A and Mr. B described above.

  According to the mobile phone device 10 as described above, in the switching call mode, it is possible to easily confirm the other party who is currently talking and the other party who is on hold by simply looking at the display 42. In addition, the connected speaker icon 50 displays all the parties whose communication protocols are currently established on the display 42, and further displays the connected speaker icon 50 different for each partner on the display 42. Therefore, it is possible to immediately recognize who the user is connected to, who is the caller, and who is on hold.

  That is, by looking at the connection speaker icon 50, the user can intuitively grasp all the connection partners. Further, by looking at the connected speaker icon 50 surrounded by the selection frame 51, the user can intuitively grasp the other party who is talking.

  Further, the call mode can be changed from the switched call mode to the multi party mode simply by positioning the selection frame 51 on the multi party icon 52 and clicking the multi party icon 52 with a decision button or the like. Therefore, a troublesome screen operation such as calling a menu screen unlike the conventional case does not occur, and the change to the multi party mode can be performed only by a simple operation of selecting the multi party icon 52.

  In addition, the call mode change from the multi-party mode to the switching call mode can be easily performed in the same manner, and the selection frame 51 is positioned on the connected speaker icon 50 to be switched, and then the determination button or the like is pressed. .

  Conventionally, only two people can be connected at the same time. However, even if it is possible to connect to three or more parties, the present invention displays all the one or more other parties on the display 42 side by side. be able to. As a result, it is possible to easily carry out multi-party and switched calls with a larger number of opponents and to easily grasp the call status. In addition, the connected speaker icon 50 may be displayed on the display 42 immediately when it is applied or when it is applied, instead of displaying the connected speaker icon 50 after it is in the connected state.

  Next, a processing program executed by the CPU 20 at the time of switching the person to be called in the switching call mode will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 7 shows a case where the call with Mr. A is switched to the call with B.

  At present, Mr. A is in a call with Mr. A and Mr. B is on hold (step S101). Next, the CPU 20 detects pressing of the target speaker switching button, key operation for switching, and the like (step S102). Then, the CPU 20 moves the selection frame 51 onto the target connected speaker icon 50 (step S103). Then, a determination button is pressed or a timer is started (step S104). In the case of using a timer, when the selection frame 51 is moved onto another connected speaker icon 50, the timer is activated every time the movement is performed. If the selection frame 51 still exists on the connected speaker icon 50 that has been moved even after the predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the movement, the call is made to the other party specified by the connected speaker icon 50. Can be switched.

  That is, it is detected whether the timer has expired or the enter button has been pressed (step S105), and if the condition is satisfied, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the selection frame 51 exists in the connection speaker icon 50 of Mr. A. It detects (step S106). If this determination is affirmative, the call with Mr. A and the hold state with Mr. B are continued (step S107).

  If the determination by the CPU 20 is negative, the cellular phone device 10 exchanges protocol messages with the base station of the communication network (step S108). This message, for example, makes a request from the mobile phone device 10 to place a call with Mr. A on hold from the mobile phone device 10 and a request to release Mr. B's hold (to enter a call state). On the other hand, the base station transmits a reply indicating that each request has been accepted to the mobile phone device 10. As a result, Mr. A is put on hold and a call with Mr. B becomes possible (step S109).

  In addition, when a call connection request is received from another device during a call in multi-party mode, it may be possible to accept it in multi-party mode, or the new person may accept it in switched call mode. good. In any case, when the connection state is established or the call state is established, a search is performed from the connected speaker icon database, and the corresponding icon is displayed on the display 42.

  Note that FIG. 9 illustrates the case where the call is switched from Mr. A to Mr. B. However, when the call mode is switched between the switching call mode and the multi-party mode, the determination button and the timer are similarly set. Can be used. Note that the protocol message sequence at the start of the multi-party mode is switched from the switched call mode to the multi-party mode by sending a multi-party request to the base station and replying to accept the request from the base station. In the opposite case, it is made by transmitting a request for switching to the call mode to the base station and sending back a response to accept the request from the base station.

  In addition, when a call is made with the other party to whom the connected speaker icon 50 is not registered, or when an unregistered person is included in a call in the switching call mode or the multi-party mode, an initial setting indicating an unknown person is set. A mark or the like may be used as the connected speaker icon 50, or the characters “unregistered” may be displayed in place of the connected speaker icon 50 in place of the connected speaker icon 50. Further, “two unregistered persons” or the like may be displayed on the screen on the balloon 53.

  Further, without registering the connection speaker icon 50 in association with the phone book, “(1)”, “(2)”, “(3)”, etc. are simply displayed as the first speaker, the second speaker, and the second speaker. It may be stored separately from the telephone book so that the judgment of the three speakers can be made, and management for each speaker can be performed in the order in which the calls are started. In the multi-party mode, when the multi-party mode is set by the determination button on the mobile phone device 10 side without providing the special multi-party icon 52, all connected speaker icons 50 are surrounded by the selection frame 51. In addition, blinking display, shading or reverse display may be performed.

  In the above-mentioned invention, since the connected speaker icon is displayed on the display, it is possible to easily confirm the other party who is currently talking and the other party who is on hold or who is holding a multi-party by simply looking at the display. Is possible. In addition, the party with whom the communication protocol is currently established is displayed on the display, and the connected speaker icon that is different for each party is displayed on the display, so the user is who the connected speaker is, and who is on hold It is possible to immediately recognize whether or not In addition, for changing the call mode between the switching call mode and the multi-party mode, the mode change icon selection means is positioned on the call mode change icon, and then the call mode can be easily switched by the call mode switching means. For this reason, a troublesome screen operation such as calling a menu screen as in the prior art does not occur, and the call mode can be changed only with a simple operation.

  The present invention is applicable to a mobile phone.
