Description

  The present invention relates to a control device for a mobile phone device, a mobile phone device, and a control method for a mobile phone device.

In general, when a call arrives at a mobile phone device during a meeting or a meeting, the user can leave the message on the answering machine or pick up the phone and take a call around the microphone. He covered it with his hand and told him to call him back later with a small voice, or he rushed away and received the call.
However, when speaking in a low voice, there is a problem that if the user's voice is too low, the volume transmitted to the other party is too low to be transmitted accurately. To solve this problem, a technology is proposed in which when a user who is talking over the phone's microphone is covered with his / her hand, the state is detected by a touch sensor or photo sensor, and the phone is automatically set to the hidden mode. (See Patent Document 1). According to this technology, when the user speaks with his / her hand covered, the volume of the voice input from the microphone is adjusted. Is transmitted.
JP 2006-025402 A

However, even if you cover the microphone area with your hand, if you receive a call during a meeting, you will generally need to ask the attendees to answer the call before you can receive it. Many. Furthermore, if a user tries to receive a call after leaving the place, it takes more time to move, so it often takes more time to receive a call than usual. For this reason, there was a problem that the telephone was often missed.
On the other hand, even if it could be received immediately on the spot, the content of the conference could be collected from the microphone and inadvertently transmitted to the other party of the call. Even if you cover the vicinity of the microphone with your hand, there is a similar problem because it takes time to cover the phone with your hand after receiving the call.

  Therefore, the present invention provides an apparatus and method that can receive a call even if a call is received in a situation where a call cannot be made immediately, and can prevent the surrounding sound from being transmitted to the other party. The purpose is to provide.

A first aspect of the present invention is a control device for a mobile phone device including a first detection unit, a second detection unit, a call control unit, and a call control unit. The first detection unit detects the first trigger. The second detection unit detects a second trigger. The call control unit performs call connection when the first detection unit detects the first trigger. The call control unit does not transmit the voice input from the voice input unit to the call partner until the second detection unit detects the second trigger after the call control unit connects the call. After the second detection unit detects the second trigger, the voice input from the voice input unit is transmitted to the call partner.
The first aspect of the present invention configured as described above can connect a call and receive a call for the time being even if the user cannot immediately make a call. Even if the call is connected, the call control unit does not transmit the voice to the call partner until the second trigger is detected. For this reason, even if there is an incoming call in a situation where a telephone call cannot be made immediately, the user can receive the call, and it is possible to prevent the surrounding sound from being transmitted to the other party.

  The first aspect of the present invention may further include a mode determination unit that determines whether or not the own device is in a call control mode. Under such a configuration, when the mode determination unit determines that the call control mode is not set, the call control unit performs call connection when the hook enters an off-hook state regardless of the processing of the first detection unit. . In addition, the call control unit transmits the voice input from the voice input unit to the other party of the call in the off-hook state regardless of the processing of the first detection unit and the second detection unit. When the mode determination unit determines that the call control mode is selected, the call control unit performs call connection when the first detection unit detects the first trigger. The call control unit transmits the voice input from the voice input unit to the call partner until the second control unit detects the second trigger after the call control unit connects the call. Instead, after the second detection unit detects the second trigger, the voice input from the voice input unit is transmitted to the call partner.

  The first aspect of the present invention may further include a third detection unit that detects the third trigger. In that case, after the second detection unit detects the second trigger and until the third detection unit detects the third trigger, the call control unit receives the voice input from the voice input unit. After the third detection unit detects the third trigger, the voice input from the voice input unit is not transmitted to the call partner.

A second aspect of the present invention is a mobile phone device including the control device as the first aspect of the present invention.
The present invention may be specified as a computer program for causing a computer to operate as the control device described above. Further, the present invention may be specified as a method for controlling a mobile phone device performed by the above-described control device.

  According to the present invention, even if there is an incoming call in a situation where a telephone call cannot be made immediately, the user can receive the call, and it is possible to prevent the surrounding sounds from being transmitted to the other party.

The mobile phone device 1a includes a flash 15, a main camera 16, a sub display unit 19, and an antenna 121 on the outside.

FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram illustrating only a functional configuration characteristic of the mobile phone device 1a among the functional configurations of the main control unit 10a. Hereinafter, a characteristic configuration of the main control unit 10a will be described with reference to FIG.
The main control unit 10a includes a first detection unit 101, a second detection unit 102, a call control unit 103, and a call control unit 104a. In addition, the main control unit 10a includes a known function unit for realizing a function as a mobile phone, a function for performing web browsing, a function for transmitting and receiving mail, and the like.

  The first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. The first trigger is derived from an operation performed after the mobile phone device 1a receives an incoming call, and the user of the mobile phone device 1a desires to connect the incoming call. The first detection unit 101 detects this input signal as a first trigger when the user presses the off-hook button 144 while there is an incoming call. When the folded cellular phone device 1a is opened by the user, the sensor detects this operation and outputs a signal. If this signal is output while there is an incoming call, the first detection unit 101 detects this signal as a first trigger. The 1st trigger which the 1st detection part 101 detects is not limited to what was mentioned above. When detecting the first trigger, the first detection unit 101 notifies the call control unit 103 and the call control unit 104a that the first trigger has been detected.

  The second detection unit 102 detects the second trigger. The second trigger is an operation or input that occurs when the mobile phone device 1a is connected to a call with another telephone. The second detection unit 102 detects this input signal as a second trigger when the user presses the off-hook button 144 while the call is connected. When detecting the second trigger, the second detection unit 102 notifies the call control unit 103 and the call control unit 104a that the second trigger has been detected.

  The call control unit 103 controls connection of a call when there is an incoming call to the mobile phone device 1a. When a first trigger is detected by the first detection unit 101 after receiving an incoming call, the call control unit 103 connects the call to the incoming call. In addition, when the on-hook button 143 is pressed while the call is connected, the call control unit 103 disconnects the connected call.

  The call control unit 104 a controls a call in a call connected by the call control unit 103. The call control unit 104a has a plurality of control patterns related to a call. The call control unit 104a controls a normal call with a control pattern (hereinafter referred to as “first control pattern”) that does not transmit the voice input from the microphone 22 to the other party as a call voice although the call is connected. Control relating to a call with a pattern (that is, a control pattern in which voice input from the microphone 22 is transmitted to the other party and voice transmitted from the other party is output from the speaker 24; hereinafter referred to as “second control pattern”). As a pattern. Then, when the first trigger is detected after receiving the incoming call, the call control unit 104a controls the call in the call connected by the call control unit 103 according to the first control pattern. When the second trigger is detected after the first trigger is detected and the call is connected, the call control unit 104a controls the call according to the second control pattern.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the main control unit 10a of the mobile phone device 1a. Hereinafter, the operation of the main control unit 10a of the mobile phone device 1a will be described with reference to FIG.
When there is an incoming call from another telephone, the main control unit 10a notifies the user of the incoming call using a speaker, a vibrator or the like (not shown) (S01). While the incoming call continues, the main control unit 10a continues to wait for the incoming call notification until the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger (S02-NO). If the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger while the incoming call continues (S02-YES), the call control unit 103 of the main control unit 10a connects the call to this incoming call (S03). Further, the call control unit 104a controls the call according to the first control pattern in the connected call (S04).

  Thereafter, when the on-hook button 143 is pressed before the second detection unit 102 detects the second trigger (S05-NO, S06-YES), the call control unit 103 disconnects the call (S09), The control unit 10a finishes the process for this incoming call. On the other hand, when the second detection unit 102 detects the second trigger while the call is still connected (S05-YES), the call control unit 104a controls the call in the connected call according to the second control pattern ( S07). After that, the call control unit 104a controls the call according to the second control pattern until it becomes on-hook (S08-NO). When the on-hook button is pressed (S08-YES), the call control unit 103 disconnects the call (S9), and the main control unit 10a finishes the process for this incoming call.

  By using the mobile phone device 1a, the user can connect the call for the time being by performing input serving as the first trigger even if there is an incoming call in a situation where a call cannot be made immediately. At this time, since the call control unit 104a controls the call according to the first control pattern, the voice around the user (for example, a voice during a conference) input from the microphone 22 does not reach the other party. Therefore, the user of the mobile phone device 1a can ensure the connection of the call for the time being even before it becomes possible to make a call. This reduces the risk of missing important incoming calls and eliminates the need to redo the call.

<Modification>
The second trigger detected by the second detection unit 102 is not limited to the one described above. Hereinafter, variations of the second trigger will be described.
The second detection unit 102 may detect an operation in which the user of the mobile phone device 1a covers the vicinity of the microphone 22 with a hand or other object as a second trigger. For example, the second detection unit 102 detects the second trigger based on a change in the amount of light sensed by the optical sensor 33 installed in the vicinity of the microphone 22. Specifically, the second detection unit 102 stores the light amount when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. Thereafter, the second detection unit 102 acquires the amount of light sensed by the optical sensor 33 periodically (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). The second detection unit 102 calculates the difference between the newly acquired light amount and the stored light amount. The second detection unit 102 determines that the second trigger has been detected when the newly acquired light amount is smaller than the stored light amount and the difference exceeds a threshold value. Note that the method by which the second detection unit 102 detects that the vicinity of the microphone 22 is covered with a hand or other object is not limited to the method described above.

  As the second detection unit 102 operates in this way, the user of the mobile phone device 1a can start a call with a simpler operation than pressing a specific button (for example, an off-hook button). It becomes possible.

  The second detection unit 102 may detect that the location where the mobile phone device 1a is located has moved as a second trigger. For example, the second detection unit 102 detects the second trigger based on the position data detected by the RFID reader 25. Specifically, RFID tags that record position data are installed on the walls, floors, and ceilings of each room, and on the walls, floors, and ceilings of hallways. The RFID reader 25 communicates with these RFID tags and acquires position data stored in each RFID tag. The position data includes data indicating a corridor and data indicating a room number. The second detection unit 102 stores position data when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. Thereafter, the second detection unit 102 acquires position data from the RFID reader 25 periodically (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). Then, when the newly acquired position data is different from the stored position data (for example, the stored position data is data indicating a room number and the newly acquired position data It is determined that the second trigger has been detected).

  Further, for example, the second detection unit 102 may detect that the base station to be connected when wireless communication is performed has changed or has become impossible to connect as the second trigger. Specifically, in each room, a femtocell base station that has a communication range only in the room is installed. When connecting to the femtocell base station, the wireless unit 12 or the near field communication wireless unit 32 acquires an identifier (for example, an IP address or a device ID) of the femto base station. The second detection unit 102 stores the identifier of the base station when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. Thereafter, the second detection unit 102 acquires the identifier of the connected base station periodically (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). And the 2nd detection part 102 judges that the 2nd trigger was detected, when the identifier of the newly acquired base station differs from the stored identifier.

  Moreover, the 2nd detection part 102 may acquire the coordinate where the mobile telephone apparatus 1a is located from the GPS function part 21, and may detect a 2nd trigger based on this coordinate. Specifically, the second detection unit 102 stores the coordinates when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. Thereafter, the second detection unit 102 acquires coordinates from the GPS function unit 21 periodically (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). The second detection unit 102 calculates the distance between the newly acquired coordinates and the stored coordinates. Then, the second detection unit 102 determines that the second trigger has been detected when the calculated distance exceeds a threshold (for example, 5 m, 10 m, etc.).

  Moreover, the 2nd detection part 102 may acquire the position data of the mobile telephone apparatus 1a by visible light communication, and may detect a 2nd trigger based on this position data. Specifically, the cellular phone device 1 a includes a visible light communication receiving unit, and receives visible light communication using illumination provided in a conference room or a corridor as a light source. Each illumination provided in a conference room or a corridor transmits position data indicating a position where the illumination is provided by visible light communication. The position data includes data indicating a corridor and data indicating a room number. The second detection unit 102 stores position data received by visible light communication when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. Then, the 2nd detection part 102 acquires position data by visible light communication regularly (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). When the newly acquired position data is different from the stored position data (for example, the stored position data is data indicating a room number, and the newly acquired position data is stored in the hallway). It is determined that the second trigger has been detected. In addition, the optical sensor 33 may be applied as a light receiving unit for performing visible light communication, and a new optical sensor for visible light communication may be provided in the mobile phone device 1a.

The second detection unit 102 may detect that a call permission signal has been received as a second trigger. Specifically, an RFID tag that records a call permission signal is installed in advance on a wall, floor, ceiling, or the like of a place (for example, a corridor or an emergency staircase) where a call can be made. The RFID reader 25 communicates with these RFID tags and acquires a call permission signal stored in each RFID tag. The second detection unit 102 determines that the second trigger has been detected when the RFID reader 25 acquires the call permission signal.
In addition, the second detection unit 102 uses coordinates acquired from the GPS function unit 21 as position information, position data stored in an RFID tag acquired from the RFID reader 25, the wireless unit 12 or short-range communication. One of the identifiers of the femtocell base station acquired from the radio unit 32 is stored in advance, and when the newly acquired information matches the stored information, it is determined that the second trigger has been detected. Also good.

  Further, the second detection unit 102 may detect an operation in which the user brings his / her mouth close to the microphone 22 as the second trigger. For example, the second detection unit 102 performs detection based on an output from a bad breath sensor, an alcohol sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor or the like provided in the mobile phone device 1a. The second detection unit 102 stores in advance, as a threshold value, an output value obtained when the user's mouth approaches for each sensor. This threshold is acquired in advance based on the result of the experiment. The second detection unit 102 determines that the second trigger has been detected when the output value of each sensor exceeds the threshold value. In addition, a well-known thing can be used for a bad breath sensor, an alcohol sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, etc.

  The second detection unit 102 may detect the second trigger based on the output from the vibration sensor 20. The second detection unit 102 stores in advance the output value obtained by the vibration sensor 20 when the user of the mobile phone device 1a carries the mobile phone device 1a and walks or runs as a first threshold value. In addition, the second detection unit 102 stores in advance an output value obtained by the vibration sensor 20 when the user of the mobile phone device 1a is stopped with the mobile phone device 1a as the second threshold value. The first threshold value and the second threshold value are acquired in advance based on the result of the experiment. The second detection unit 102 determines that the second trigger has been detected when the output value at the vibration sensor 20 exceeds the first threshold value and then the output value at the vibration sensor 20 falls below the second threshold value.

  Next, a modified example of the first control pattern will be described. The control of the first control pattern may be a control accompanied by another operation as long as it includes a control that does not transmit the voice input from the microphone 22 to the other party as a call voice. For example, the first control pattern may be a control pattern in which a voice message stored in advance in the memory 28 is transmitted to the other party. The content of the voice message is, for example, a message such as “We are currently in a meeting. That is, this voice message may be a voice message that informs the other party that the user of the cellular phone device 1a cannot talk immediately but can talk if the user waits. When the call control unit 104a transmits such a voice message to the other party, the possibility that the connected call is disconnected by the other party is reduced.

  Next, a modified example of the second control pattern will be described. The content of the second control pattern is a control involving further operations, including a control for transmitting the voice input from the microphone 22 to the other party and outputting the voice transmitted from the other party from the speaker 24. Also good. For example, the call control unit 104a may further record the contents of the call in the second control pattern, may record surrounding sounds input from a sub microphone (not shown), and transmits to the other party. Processing for increasing the volume of the audio may be executed, or the volume of the audio transmitted from the other party may be reduced and output from the speaker 24.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the mobile phone device 1b according to the second embodiment will be described. The mobile phone device 1b is different from the mobile phone device 1a in that it includes a main control unit 10b instead of the main control unit 10a, and the other configurations are the same as those of the mobile phone device 1a. Therefore, description of the entire mobile phone device 1b is omitted, and the main control unit 10b will be described.
FIG. 5 is a schematic block diagram illustrating only a functional configuration characteristic of the mobile phone device 1b among the functional configurations of the main control unit 10b. The main control unit 10b differs from the main control unit 10a in that it includes a call control unit 104b instead of the call control unit 104a, and further includes a third detection unit 105. Hereinafter, the main controller 10b will be described mainly with respect to differences from the main controller 10a.

  The third detection unit 105 detects a third trigger. The third trigger is an operation or input that occurs when the mobile phone device 1b is connected to a call with another telephone and is controlled according to the second control pattern. The third detection unit 105 detects this input signal as a third trigger when the off-hook button 144 is pressed while the call is connected and the control is performed according to the second control pattern. When detecting the third trigger, the third detection unit 105 notifies the call control unit 104b that the third trigger has been detected.

The call control unit 104b controls the call state according to the third control pattern when the third trigger is detected in the state where the control is performed according to the second control pattern and the call is connected. Different from the control unit 104a. Note that the call control unit 104b is the same as the call control unit 104a in the operations related to the detection of the first trigger and the second trigger.
The call control unit 104b further has a third control pattern in addition to the first control pattern and the second control pattern. Similar to the first control pattern, the third control pattern is control in which the voice input from the microphone 22 is not transmitted to the other party as a call voice.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the main control unit 10b of the mobile phone device 1b. Hereinafter, the operation of the main control unit 10b of the mobile phone device 1b will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, the same processes as those of the main control unit 10a are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the flowchart of FIG.
When the third detection unit 105 detects the third trigger while the call control unit 104b performs control according to the second control pattern (S11-YES), the call control unit 104b controls the call according to the third control pattern. (S13). Then, the call control unit 104b returns to the branch of S05 and performs processing. On the other hand, when the on-hook button 143 is pressed before the third trigger is detected by the third detector 105 (S11-NO, S12-YES), the call controller 103 disconnects the call (S9), The controller 10b finishes the process for this incoming call.

  The cellular phone device 1b has the same effects as the cellular phone device 1a according to the first embodiment. Furthermore, when the user becomes unable to make a call again after starting a call with the other party under the control according to the second control pattern by using the mobile phone device 1b, the user becomes a third trigger. By performing the input, the cellular phone device 1b can be brought into a state where the voice is not transmitted to the other party (a state in which control by the third control pattern is performed). When the user is able to make a call again, the user can make a call using the mobile phone device 1b by performing an input as a second trigger.

<Modification>
The third trigger detected by the third detection unit 105 is not limited to the one described above. Hereinafter, variations of the third trigger will be described.
The third detection unit 105 may detect an operation in which the user of the mobile phone device 1b removes the cover near the microphone 22 as a third trigger. For example, the third detection unit 105 detects the third trigger based on a change in the amount of light detected by the optical sensor 33 installed in the vicinity of the microphone 22. Specifically, the third detection unit 105 stores the amount of light at the time when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. Thereafter, the third detection unit 105 acquires the amount of light detected by the optical sensor 33 periodically (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). The third detection unit 105 calculates the difference between the newly acquired light amount and the stored light amount. The third detection unit 105 determines that the third trigger has been detected when the difference is smaller than the threshold value.

  The 3rd detection part 105 may detect that the place where the mobile telephone apparatus 1b is located returned to the place when the 1st detection part 101 detected the 1st trigger as a 3rd trigger. For example, the third detection unit 105 detects the third trigger based on the position data detected by the RFID reader 25. Specifically, RFID tags that record position data are installed on the walls, floors, and ceilings of each room, and on the walls, floors, and ceilings of hallways. The RFID reader 25 communicates with these RFID tags and acquires position data stored in each RFID tag. The position data includes data indicating a corridor and data indicating a room number. The third detection unit 105 stores position data at the time when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. The third detection unit 105 acquires position data from the RFID reader 25 periodically (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). Then, the third detection unit 105 determines that the third trigger has been detected when the newly acquired position data matches the stored position data.

  The third detection unit 105 may acquire the position data of the mobile phone device 1b by visible light communication and detect the third trigger based on the position data. Specifically, the cellular phone device 1b includes a visible light communication receiving unit, and receives visible light communication using illumination provided in a conference room or a corridor as a light source. Each illumination provided in a conference room or a corridor transmits position data indicating a position where the illumination is provided by visible light communication. The position data includes data indicating a corridor and data indicating a room number. The third detection unit 105 stores position data received by visible light communication at the time when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. Thereafter, the third detection unit 105 acquires position data by visible light communication periodically (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). The third detection unit 105 determines that the third trigger has been detected when the newly acquired position data matches the stored position data. In addition, the optical sensor 33 may be applied as a light receiving unit for performing visible light communication, and a new optical sensor for visible light communication may be provided in the mobile phone device 1a.

  In addition, for example, the third detection unit 105 detects that the base station connected when performing wireless communication has returned to the base station when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger as the third trigger. You may do it. Specifically, in each room, a femtocell base station that has a communication range only in the room is installed. When connecting to the femtocell base station, the wireless unit 12 or the near field communication wireless unit 32 acquires an identifier (for example, an IP address or a device ID) of the femto base station. The third detection unit 105 stores the identifier of the base station when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. Thereafter, the third detection unit 105 acquires the identifier of the connected base station periodically (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). And the 3rd detection part 105 judges that the 3rd trigger was detected, when the identifier of the newly acquired base station corresponds with the memorize | stored identifier.

  Moreover, the 3rd detection part 105 may acquire the coordinate where the mobile telephone apparatus 1b is located from the GPS function part 21, and may detect a 3rd trigger based on this coordinate. Specifically, the third detection unit 105 stores the coordinates when the first detection unit 101 detects the first trigger. Thereafter, the third detection unit 105 acquires coordinates from the GPS function unit 21 periodically (for example, every 1 second, every 0.1 second, etc.). The third detection unit 105 calculates the distance between the newly acquired coordinates and the stored coordinates. And the 3rd detection part 105 judges that the 3rd trigger was detected, when the calculated distance is less than a threshold value (for example, 1m, 5m etc.).

The third detection unit 105 may detect that the call permission signal is not received as a third trigger. Specifically, an RFID tag that records a call permission signal is installed in advance on a wall, floor, ceiling, or the like of a place (for example, a corridor or an emergency staircase) where a call can be made. The RFID reader 25 communicates with these RFID tags and acquires a call permission signal stored in each RFID tag. The third detection unit 105 determines that the third trigger has been detected when the RFID reader 25 stops acquiring the call permission signal.
In addition, the third detection unit 105 uses coordinates acquired from the GPS function unit 21 as information indicating a position where a call is possible, position data stored in an RFID tag acquired from the RFID reader 25, the wireless unit 12 or short-range communication. One of the identifiers of the femtocell base stations acquired from the radio unit 32 is stored in advance, and it is determined that the third trigger is detected when the newly acquired information does not match the stored information. You may do it.

  Moreover, the 3rd detection part 105 may detect the operation | movement from which a user moves a mouth away from the microphone 22 as a 3rd trigger. For example, the third detection unit 105 performs detection based on an output from a bad breath sensor, an alcohol sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, or the like provided in the mobile phone device 1b. The third detection unit 105 stores in advance, as a threshold value, an output value obtained when the user's mouth approaches for each sensor. This threshold is acquired in advance based on the result of the experiment. The third detection unit 105 determines that the third trigger has been detected when the output value of each sensor falls below the threshold value.

  The third detection unit 105 may detect the third trigger based on the output from the vibration sensor 20. The third detection unit 105 stores in advance, as a first threshold value, an output value obtained by the vibration sensor 20 when the user of the mobile phone device 1b carries the mobile phone device 1b and walks or runs. In addition, the third detection unit 105 stores in advance an output value obtained by the vibration sensor 20 when the user of the mobile phone device 1b stops with the mobile phone device 1b as a second threshold value. The first threshold value and the second threshold value are acquired in advance based on the result of the experiment. When the output value in the vibration sensor 20 exceeds the first threshold value during the execution of the control according to the second control pattern, and the output value in the vibration sensor 20 falls below the second threshold value after that, It is determined that the third trigger has been detected.

The third detection unit 105 may detect the folding operation of the mobile phone device 1b as a third trigger. Specifically, when the cellular phone device 1b that has been opened is folded by the user, the sensor detects this operation and outputs a signal. When this signal is output in a state in which a call is connected and control is performed according to the second control pattern, the third detection unit 105 detects this signal as a third trigger.
In this case, the second detection unit 102 may operate as follows. When the folded cellular phone device 1b is opened by the user, the sensor detects this operation and outputs a signal. When this signal is output in a state where a call is connected and control is performed according to the third control pattern, the second detection unit 102 detects this signal as a second trigger.

  Next, a modified example of the third control pattern will be described. The control of the third control pattern may be a control involving another operation as long as the control that does not transmit the voice input from the microphone 22 to the other party as a call voice is included. The third control pattern may be a control pattern in which a voice message stored in advance in the memory 28 is transmitted to the other party. The content of the voice message is, for example, a message such as “I will return immediately, so please wait for a while”. That is, this voice message is a voice message that tells the other party that the user of the cellular phone device 1b can talk again if he / she is in a state where he / she cannot talk again, but can stand by. When the call control unit 104b transmits such a voice message to the other party, the possibility that the connected call is disconnected by the other party is reduced.

[Third embodiment]
Next, the mobile phone device 1c according to the third embodiment will be described. The mobile phone device 1c is different from the mobile phone device 1a in that it includes a main control unit 10c instead of the main control unit 10a, and the other configurations are the same as those of the mobile phone device 1a. Therefore, description of the entire mobile phone device 1c is omitted, and the main control unit 10c will be described. The mode determination unit 106 may be added to the mobile phone device 1b according to the second embodiment instead of being added to the mobile phone device 1a according to the first embodiment.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic block diagram illustrating only the functional configuration characteristic of the mobile phone equipment 1c among the functional configurations of the main control unit 10c. The main control unit 10c differs from the main control unit 10a in that it further includes a mode determination unit 106. Hereinafter, with respect to the main control unit 10c, differences from the main control unit 10a will be mainly described.

  The mode determination unit 106 determines whether or not the state of the mobile phone device 1c is the call control mode. If the mode determination unit 106 determines that the call control mode is set, the process shown in FIG. 4 is performed on the first detection unit 101, the second detection unit 102, the call control unit 103, and the call control unit 104a. Instruct to do. On the other hand, when the mode determination unit 106 determines that the mode is not the call control mode, the process illustrated in FIG. 4 is performed on the first detection unit 101, the second detection unit 102, the call control unit 103, and the call control unit 104a. Rather than instructing them to process a normal call. In normal call processing, when the off-hook button 144 is pressed after an incoming call is received, the call control unit 103 connects the call regardless of the detection results of the first detection unit 101 and the second detection unit 102. That is, the call control unit 104a performs control so that a call can be made with the other party. In the normal call processing, further, even in the call state, even if the second detection unit 102 detects the second trigger, the call control unit 104a does not change the control content of the call state, It is to control to the state that can be.

  The mode determination unit 106 determines that the call control mode is set when the cellular phone device 1c is set to the manner mode. Further, the mode determination unit 106 refers to the schedule data stored in the memory 28 and determines that the call control mode is set when a meeting or a meeting schedule is registered at the current time.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the main control unit 10c of the mobile phone device 1c. Hereinafter, the operation of the main control unit 10c of the mobile phone device 1c will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, the same processes as those of the main control unit 10a are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the flowchart of FIG.
When the mobile phone device 1c receives an incoming call, the mode determination unit 106 determines whether the call control mode is set (S21). When the mode determination unit 106 determines that it is the call control mode (S21-YES), the first detection unit 101, the second detection unit 102, the call control unit 103, and the call control unit 104a are shown in FIG. Instruct to perform processing. In this case, each functional unit executes the processing from S01 to S09 as in the flowchart shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the mode determination unit 106 determines that it is not the call control mode (S21-NO), the first detection unit 101, the second detection unit 102, the call control unit 103, and the call control unit 104a perform normal communication. Instruct to perform processing. In this case, the main control unit 10c notifies the user of an incoming call as in S01 (S22). While the incoming call continues, the main control unit 10c continues to wait for the incoming call notification until the off-hook button 144 is pressed (S23-NO). When the off-hook button 144 is pressed while the incoming call continues (S23-YES), the call control unit 103 of the main control unit 10c connects the call to this incoming call (S24). Further, the call control unit 104a performs control so that a call can be made with the other party until the on-hook button 143 is pressed (S25-NO). When the on-hook button 143 is pressed, the call control unit 103 disconnects the call (S09), and the main control unit 10c ends the process for this incoming call.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mode determination unit 106. Hereinafter, the operation of the mode determination unit 106 will be described with reference to FIG. The process in FIG. 9 corresponds to the determination process in S21 in FIG.
The mode determination unit 106 determines whether or not the current setting is the manner mode (S211). When the current setting is the manner mode (S211—YES), the mode determination unit 106 determines that the call control mode is set (S215). On the other hand, when the current setting is not the manner mode (S211-NO), the mode determination unit 106 refers to the schedule data stored in the memory 28 and determines whether the schedule is registered at the current time. (S212). When the schedule is not registered (S212—NO), the mode determination unit 106 determines that the call control mode is not set (S214). On the other hand, when the schedule is registered (S212—YES), the mode determination unit 106 determines whether the schedule is a meeting (S213). When the schedule is a meeting (S213-YES), the mode determination unit 106 determines that the call control mode is set (S215). On the other hand, when the schedule is not a meeting (S213-NO), the mode determination unit 106 determines that the call control mode is not set (S214).

  The cellular phone device 1c has the same effects as the cellular phone device 1a according to the first embodiment. Furthermore, by using the cellular phone device 1c, the user explicitly determines whether to execute a normal call process or a process as the call control mode (the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 4). You can choose. In particular, when the call control mode is not applicable, the user connects the call and makes a call with the other party simply by pressing the off-hook button 144 without performing an input corresponding to the first trigger or the second trigger. It becomes possible. Further, according to the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, even if the manner mode is forgotten to be set, the main control unit 10c operates in the call control mode if a conference is set in advance in the schedule.

<Modification>
The mode determination unit 106 may determine that the call control mode is set when the user explicitly sets the call control mode by operating the operation unit 14. Specifically, when the user operates the operation unit 14 and clicks the call control mode icon, the memory 28 stores that the call control mode is set. Then, the mode determination unit 106 determines that the call control mode is set by reading out this setting stored in the memory 28.
Further, the mode determination unit 106 may determine that the call control mode is set when a plurality of conditions are satisfied. For example, when the manner mode is set and a meeting or a meeting schedule is registered at the current time, the mode determination unit 106 may determine that the call control mode is set. The mode determination unit 106 determines whether a meeting or a meeting is scheduled by reading the schedule data stored in the memory 28.

  The mode determination unit 106 also includes coordinates and position data of the current position detected by the GPS function unit 21, the RFID reader 25, and visible light communication, and coordinates and position data of a conference room and a meeting room stored in advance. If they match, the call control mode may be determined. It is possible to design appropriately as to when the mode determination unit 106 determines that the call control mode is specific.

In addition, you may make it implement | achieve the function of some mobile telephone apparatuses 1a-1c in embodiment mentioned above, for example, the main control parts 10a-10c. In that case, the program for realizing the functions of the main control units 10a to 10c is recorded in the program memory 13 or a computer-readable recording medium, and the recorded program is read into the computer system and executed. You may do it. The “computer system” here includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a portable medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, and a CD-ROM, and a storage device such as a hard disk built in the computer system. Further, the “computer-readable recording medium” dynamically holds a program for a short time, like a communication line when transmitting a program via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. It is also possible to include those that hold a program for a certain time, such as a volatile memory inside a computer system serving as a server or client in that case. The program may be a program for realizing a part of the functions described above, and may be a program capable of realizing the functions described above in combination with a program already recorded in a computer system.
