Description

  The present invention relates to a telephone device having a so-called incoming call history function for displaying a list of incoming caller history.

  In a normal telephone device, when there is an incoming call, a so-called incoming history function, which is a function for storing the incoming call in a memory as a history and displaying a list of the history in a standby state after the incoming call is installed.

  This incoming call history function is used, for example, when a user tries to make a call to a destination who has called in the past. Specifically, the user displays a list of incoming calls on the display unit of the telephone device, selects a desired destination by moving the displayed cursor, and then performs a call operation. It is possible to make a call to a desired destination.

Various patent applications have been filed regarding this incoming call history function. For example, in Patent Document 1, when there is an incoming call from an incoming call rejection destination, the “call rejection factor” is stored in the incoming call response cause area of the incoming call history storage area, and when the incoming call history is displayed, If the cause of incoming call rejection is stored correspondingly, a technique for displaying an icon indicating that the caller is an incoming call rejection destination along with a telephone number is described.
JP 2000-270077 A (particularly paragraphs 0011 to 0013, FIG. 1, FIG. 5 (a))

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to store an incoming call response factor in the incoming call history memory in association with one phone number or one name. For example, 100 incoming phone numbers are stored in the incoming call memory. If it is, 100 incoming response factors are stored. For this reason, the capacity of the incoming call history memory is required for the data of the incoming call response factor, which causes a problem that the cost of the apparatus increases.

  Further, the technology described in Patent Document 1 compares the destination of a call and the destination of the incoming call rejection stored in the dial memory when an incoming call is received. In this case, information indicating that the destination is an incoming call rejection destination is stored in the incoming call history memory as an incoming call response factor. For this reason, for example, if Tanaka-san receives an incoming call with “Reject / Do Not Disturb” set to “Yes” for the recipient “Mr. Tanaka” in the dial memory, Mr. Tanaka will appear in the incoming call history memory. The data indicating that the call is rejected is stored in the incoming response factor corresponding to Mr. Tanaka's phone number. After storing data indicating that Mr. Tanaka has received an incoming call, dialing is performed. If “Reject / Do Not Disturb” corresponding to “Mr. Tanaka” in the memory is set to “Never”, even though Tanaka is not registered as a call rejection recipient in the dial memory, Mr. Tanaka remains registered as an incoming call rejection destination. For this reason, when the user sees the list of incoming calls, Tanaka-san is not the call rejection recipient for the user at that time, but indicates that Tanaka-san is the call rejection recipient. An inconvenience occurs in that an icon is displayed.

The present invention is to solve such a problem, and informs that a destination that the user really wants to reject the incoming call at the time when the incoming call history is displayed is an incoming call rejection destination.
The telephone device according to claim 1 is stored in the rejection destination storage means for storing the information of the incoming call rejection destination, the incoming call history storage means for storing the information of the outgoing call destination, and the incoming call history storage means. Display means for displaying the stored information and the information stored in the incoming call history storage means on the display means matches the information stored in the reject destination storage means Control means for controlling the display means so as to notify that the information to be displayed is an incoming call rejection destination.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a telephone apparatus for rejecting a callee, a callee storage means for storing a telephone number of a callee, a call history storage means for storing a caller's telephone number, and a call log storage means. Display means for displaying the stored telephone number, and when displaying the telephone number stored in the incoming call history storage means on the display means, the telephone number to be displayed is stored in the reject destination storage means Control means for controlling the display means so as to notify that the telephone number to be displayed is an incoming call rejection destination when it is determined that the telephone number matches. And

  In the present invention, when displaying information such as the telephone number of the incoming call history, whether or not the information such as the telephone number of the incoming call history matches the information such as the telephone number stored in the reject destination number storage means If it matches, it can be notified by the icon display etc. that it is a rejection destination, so when the incoming call history is displayed, the destination that the user really wants to reject Can be displayed.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a telephone device (for example, a mobile phone) according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a main body 1 and a lid body 2 are freely opened and closed by a hinge mechanism. When using this mobile phone, the user can view the incoming call history by operating the various keys 4 while viewing the display unit 3 after opening the lid 2.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile phone includes a communication unit 13 connected to an antenna 14. The communication unit 13 is connected to a baseband unit 10 to be described later, and transmits a signal from the baseband unit 10 to the base station through the antenna 14 or transmits radio waves from the base station through the antenna 14. Receive.

  The baseband unit 10 includes a CDMA processing circuit 11 and an audio codec 12. Here, the CDMA processing circuit 11 performs code division multiple access, scrambling, error control, and timing detection. The audio codec 12 compresses (encodes) and decompresses (decodes) the audio, performs analog and digital conversion, and changes the received sound volume and microphone sensitivity using an internal amplifier circuit (not shown). .

  A switching circuit 20 is connected to the baseband unit 10. A first speaker 22 is connected to the switching circuit 20 via an amplifier circuit 21. The first speaker 22 converts the electric signal of the baseband unit 10 amplified by the amplifier circuit 21 into sound. The first speaker 22 is applied to the user's ear and used for a call.

  In addition, a microphone 24 is connected to the switching circuit 20 via an amplifier circuit 23. The microphone 24 is used for a telephone call and converts sound into an electrical signal. The electric signal input from the microphone 24 is amplified by the amplifier circuit 23 and output to the baseband unit 10.

  In addition, a second speaker 26 is connected to the switching circuit 20 via an amplifier circuit 25. The second speaker 26 converts the electric signal of the baseband unit 10 amplified by the amplifier circuit 25 into sound. The second speaker 26 is a loudspeaker for listening to the surrounding sound of the received sound. The second speaker 26 also sounds an incoming call notification. Note that the gains of these three amplifier circuits 21, 23, and 25 are fixed, and the volume of the first speaker 22 and the second speaker 26 and the sensitivity of the microphone 24 cannot be changed.

  The switching circuit 20 connects the baseband unit 10 to the amplification circuit 21 for the first speaker 22 and the amplification circuit 23 for the microphone 24, or the amplification circuit 25 for the second speaker 26 for loud sound. And switching to the amplifying circuit 23 side for the microphone 24.

In addition, the communication unit 13, the baseband unit 10, and the switching circuit 20 are each connected to the control circuit 30. A ROM 31 and a RAM 32 are connected to the control circuit 30. A system program for operating the control circuit 30 is stored in the ROM 31, and various information necessary for the operation of the control circuit 30 is stored in the RAM 32. .
For example, the RAM 32 has two areas, an incoming call history storage area for storing an incoming call history and an incoming call rejection destination storage area as shown in FIG. In the incoming call history storage area, a plurality of phone numbers, names, and incoming dates / times of the other party that made the call are stored. In the incoming call rejection destination storage area, the telephone number of the destination to be rejected is stored. Further, although not shown, it also has a telephone directory memory function.
In the incoming call history storage area, a telephone number and a name are stored, but this name data is stored when an incoming call is received. Specifically, when there is an incoming call, the telephone number data of the calling party is received from the line, and the received telephone number and the telephone number in the telephone directory memory in which the telephone number and the name are separately associated with each other are stored. When they are compared and matched, the name corresponding to the telephone number is stored in the incoming call history storage area from the telephone directory memory.

  In addition, the telephone number stored in the incoming call rejection destination storage area is the telephone number directly entered by the user using the numeric keypad, or the calling party telephone number received and stored at the time of incoming call is registered as the incoming call rejection destination. It is a phone number.

  Switching by the switching circuit 20 described above is performed under the control of the control circuit 30. The control circuit 30 controls the audio codec 11 of the baseband unit 10, and the audio codec 12 changes the volume of the first speaker 22 and the second speaker 26 and the sensitivity of the microphone 24.

  An input unit 40 is connected to the control circuit 30. The input unit 40 includes a numeric keypad 41 for inputting a telephone number and the like, a call key 42 for operating the start of a call, a cut key 43 for operating the end of the call, an OK key 44, and a clear key 45. ing. In the present embodiment, the user can operate the input unit 40 to display an incoming call history, set an incoming call rejection destination, and the like.

  The control circuit 30 is connected to a display 60 made of, for example, a liquid crystal panel, and an illumination unit 61 made of, for example, an LED element 51 as a backlight. The display 60 displays a list of incoming histories.

  Next, the operation of the apparatus of this embodiment will be described below. 4 to 5 are flowcharts showing the operation of the apparatus of this embodiment.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation when an incoming call is received. In step S1 in FIG. 4, when the control circuit 30 detects a signal indicating that there is an incoming call from the communication unit 13, the process proceeds to step S2.

  In step S2, the control circuit 30 sends a ring tone from the speaker 26 and proceeds to step S3. This ringing tone is sounded while receiving the incoming signal from the base station.

  In step S3, if the control circuit 30 determines that the calling side telephone number data has been received from the baseband unit 10, the process proceeds to step S4, and if not, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S4, the control circuit 30 stores the received telephone number data in the incoming call history storage area of the RAM 32 together with the incoming date and time. The incoming date and time is data of the current time that the control circuit 30 measures. In the incoming call history storage area, the telephone number and the name are stored in association with each other, but the control circuit 30 receives the telephone number received at the time of incoming call and the telephone number stored in the telephone directory memory (not shown). If the matching telephone number is stored in the telephone directory memory, the name data corresponding to the telephone number is read from the telephone directory memory and stored in the incoming call history storage area.

  In step S5, when the control circuit 30 stops detecting a signal indicating that there is an incoming signal from the communication unit 13, the process proceeds to step S6.

  In step S6, the control circuit 30 stops ringing from the speaker 26 and ends the process.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for displaying the incoming call history. Specifically, it is a flow diagram to be processed when the control circuit 30 determines that there is an operation for instructing to display the incoming call history from the input unit 40.

  In step S10 of FIG. 5, the control circuit 30 displays the incoming call history stored in the incoming call history storage area of the RAM 32 on the display 60, and advances the process to step S11.

  In step S11, if the control circuit 30 determines that the telephone number that matches the telephone number stored in the incoming call history storage area is stored in the incoming call rejection destination storage area of the RAM 32, the process proceeds to step S12. Otherwise, the process is terminated.

  In step S12, the control circuit 30 simultaneously displays an icon or a message (for example, “rejected partner”) indicating that the incoming call is rejected in the telephone number column of the incoming call rejected partner displayed on the display 60. .

  For example, the display form of the display 60 is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the display 60 displays a plurality of destinations stored in the incoming call history storage area of the RAM 32 as an incoming call history list. A cursor 70 is also displayed at the same time, and the user can select a desired destination by moving the cursor 70. Further, the display 60 displays an icon 80 indicating that the incoming call is rejected. In the example shown in FIG. 6, for an incoming call whose telephone number is “09012345678”, an icon 80 indicating that the incoming call rejection destination is displayed.

  Further, in this embodiment, an icon is displayed for the incoming call rejection destination, but only the display portion of the incoming call rejection destination may be displayed in a display color different from that of other destinations. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, when displaying the incoming call history, it is determined whether or not a telephone number that matches the telephone number stored in the incoming call history storage area is stored in the incoming call rejection destination storage area. For comparison, compared to a configuration in which the telephone number and the information indicating that the destination is rejected are stored in association with the incoming call history as in the conventional technique, the user truly receives the incoming call when the incoming call history is displayed. A destination that is considered as a rejection destination can be displayed as a destination block.

  In this embodiment, the cellular phone is taken as an example. However, the present invention can also be applied to a cordless telephone, an answering machine, a facsimile machine equipped with a telephone function, and the like.
