  The storage 20 stores programs and data as a storage unit. The storage 20 is also used as a storage unit that temporarily stores the processing result of the controller 21. The storage 20 may include any storage device such as a semiconductor storage device and a magnetic storage device. The storage 20 may include a plurality of types of storage devices. The storage 20 may include a combination of a portable storage medium such as a memory card and a storage medium reading device.

  The programs stored in the storage 20 include, for example, an application executed in the foreground or background and a control program that supports the operation of the application. For example, the application displays a predetermined screen on the display 2 and causes the controller 21 to execute a process corresponding to a user operation detected via the touch sensor 2B. The control program is, for example, an OS (Operating System). The application and the control program may be installed in the storage 20 via wireless communication by the communication unit 13 or a storage medium. In the present embodiment, the storage 20 stores, for example, an application 20A, an application 20B, an application 20C, and a control program 20D.

  The application 20A is an application that manages outgoing call history data and incoming call history data. The outgoing call history data is information including, for example, a telephone number (or a personal name registered in the telephone book data) sent by the mobile phone 1 and the outgoing date / time. The incoming call history data is, for example, information including a telephone number (or an individual name registered in the telephone book data) received by the mobile phone 1 and the incoming date and time. The application 20A provides a function of storing outgoing call history data and incoming call history data, and a function of causing the display 2 to display a screen showing a call history including the outgoing call history and the incoming call history in response to a user operation.

Further, the storage 20 includes message memos, outgoing call history data, incoming call history data, and telephone directory data. The message memo is voice information transmitted from a communication device as a transmission source by the message memo function of the mobile phone 1. In addition, the data stored in the storage 20 includes timing for performing snooze processing shown in FIG.

  The controller 21 is an arithmetic processing device. The arithmetic processing unit includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an SoC (System On a Chip), an MCU (Micro Control Unit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), and a coprocessor, but is not limited thereto. The controller 21 may include a plurality of arithmetic processing devices. The controller 21 performs various functions by comprehensively controlling the operation of the mobile phone 1.

  Specifically, the controller 21 executes an instruction included in a program stored in the storage 20 while referring to data stored in the storage 20 as necessary. Furthermore, the controller 21 implements various functions by controlling each functional unit according to data and instructions. Examples of the functional unit include, but are not limited to, the display panel 2A, the receiver 7, the microphone 8, the speaker 10, the vibration unit 11, and the communication unit 13. The controller 21 may change the control depending on the result of the detection unit. The detection unit includes, for example, the touch sensor 2B, the key 3, and the sensor unit 14, but is not limited thereto. The controller 21 implements various functions by executing instructions included in the control program 20D stored in the storage 20, for example.

  In the present embodiment, the controller 21 detects an incoming call from another communication device. When the controller 21 detects a user operation (incoming response operation) for executing the call function for the detected incoming call, the controller 21 executes the call function. By such control, the user of the mobile phone 1 can make a call with the caller.

  On the other hand, when the first user operation is not detected for the detected incoming call, the controller 21 notifies the user of the presence of the incoming call by the notification unit. The first user operation is a user operation executed for an incoming call during the incoming call. That is, the first user operation is an operation that a user who notices an incoming call can take on the mobile phone 1 during the incoming call. The first user operation includes, for example, the above-described incoming call response operation, user operation for interrupting the execution of the message memo function before the start of recording of the message memo, and user operation for transferring the incoming call to another communication device. Is included. Furthermore, when the mobile phone 1 is set so that the message memo function is executed based on the user operation, the first user operation includes a user operation for temporarily executing the message memo function. Also good.

  By such control, there is an incoming call in which the call function is not executed (generally referred to as “missed incoming call”) in which the first user operation is not detected, that is, an incoming call that the user has not noticed. The presence of can be notified to the user. Hereinafter, an incoming call in which the first user operation is not detected is referred to as “unknown incoming call”.

The following (1) to (4) are examples of the unknown call.
(1) Incoming call disconnected by caller operation before the call function is executed (2) Incoming call interrupted by the caller operation before the start of recording the message memo (3) Message memo (4) When the user uses the answering machine service, the incoming call is automatically transferred to the answering machine center by executing the answering machine function. It is possible to notify the user of the presence of an unknown incoming call that may include (4).

  The controller 21 notifies the notifying unit of the presence of the unknown incoming call at a timing including at least different time intervals depending on the state of the mobile phone 1. Hereinafter, this processing is also referred to as snooze processing. Details of the snooze process will be described in <Snooze Process> below. Further, the controller 21 interrupts the snooze process when detecting the second user operation described later in response to the notification of the presence of the unknown call due to the execution of the snooze process. Details of this process will be described in <Release Process> below.

<Snooze processing>
(I) First notification The controller 21 performs notification of the presence of the first unknown incoming call after the first time has elapsed after detecting the unknown incoming call. The first time may be a preset time (for example, 5 minutes), for example.

  In the first notification, if the manner mode is not set, the controller 21 may notify the user by causing the speaker 10 to output a ring tone. At this time, the incoming volume of the speaker 10 may be a preset volume. Further, the controller 21 may notify the user of the presence of the unknown incoming call by vibrating the vibration unit 11. The vibration pattern of the vibration part 11 at this time may be a preset pattern. Further, the controller 21 may notify the user of the presence of the unknown incoming call by causing the display 2 to display a notification image for informing the presence of the unknown incoming call. In this case, the controller 21 may change the position of the notification image on the display 2 depending on whether the screen lock function of the mobile phone 1 is valid or invalid. An example of the notification image displayed on the display 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a screen including the notification image 30 displayed on the display 2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

  FIG. 4A shows the screen of the display 2 when the screen lock function of the mobile phone 1 is valid. The “slide to start” portion accepts a user operation for releasing the screen lock function. When the controller 21 detects a user operation on the “slide to start” portion, the controller 21 releases the screen lock function. When the screen lock function is valid, the controller 21 displays the notification image 30 in the center of the display 2 so as not to overlap the “slide to start” portion. By displaying the notification image 30 in the center of the display 2, the user's attention can be drawn.

  FIG. 4B shows the screen of the display 2 when the screen lock function of the mobile phone 1 is invalid. Various icons are displayed in the (Any screen) portion of the display 2. The controller 21 displays the notification image 30 on the upper part of the display 2. By displaying the notification image 30 on the upper part of the display 2, it is possible to prevent the notification image from being buried in various icons.

  When the mobile phone 1 is in the sleep mode at the notification timing, the controller 21 cancels the sleep mode and causes the display 2 to display a screen as shown in FIG. 4 (A) or FIG. 4 (B). May be. Furthermore, the controller 21 may display the notification image 30 by animation. By displaying the notification image 30 by animation, the user's attention can be further drawn.

  The notification image 30 may be provided with a touch sensor type soft key 31 that accepts cancellation of the snooze process. When the controller 21 detects a user operation on the soft key 31, the controller 21 interrupts the snooze process. Details of this process will be described in <Release Process> below.

(Ii) Second and subsequent notifications In the second and subsequent notifications, the controller 21 notifies the notification unit of the presence of the unknown incoming call at a timing according to the state of the mobile phone 1.

  Specifically, the controller 21 detects the state of the mobile phone 1 by the sensor unit 14. The controller 21 specifies the user's action based on the detected state of the mobile phone 1. The user behavior that can be specified by the controller 21 is that the user is acting without holding the mobile phone 1 (hereinafter abbreviated as “non-holding of the mobile phone 1”), and the user is walking while holding the mobile phone 1 ( Hereinafter, abbreviated as “walking”, the user holding the mobile phone 1 and driving a vehicle (hereinafter abbreviated as “driving”), and the user holding the mobile phone 1 and moving on the train May be included (hereinafter abbreviated as “moving by train”). Furthermore, the controller 21 determines the time from the previous notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call to the next notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call (hereinafter referred to as “second time”) according to the identified user action. Set. In addition, the controller 21 causes the notification unit to notify the presence of the unknown incoming call after the second time has elapsed.

  For example, when the controller 21 detects the stationary state of the mobile phone 1 based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor, the controller 21 can identify the user's behavior as not holding the mobile phone 1. The non-holding of the mobile phone 1 can occur when the user is attending an event or the user is taking a bath. When the controller 21 specifies that the user's action is not held by the mobile phone 1, the controller 21 may check the schedule registered in the calendar function and determine whether there is an event currently held. When the controller 21 determines that there is an event currently being held, the controller 21 may set the second time so that the notification by the notification unit can be executed after the event ends. Alternatively, when it is determined that there is no event currently held, the controller 21 may set a time (for example, 30 minutes) longer than the first time as the second time.

  For example, when the controller 21 detects an acceleration less than a predetermined value acting on the mobile phone 1 based on the detection results of the acceleration sensor and the gyro sensor, the controller 21 can identify the user's action as walking. The user rarely turns his attention to the mobile phone 1 while walking. Therefore, the user is less likely to notice the presence of the unknown incoming call while walking. When the controller 21 specifies that the user's action is during walking, the controller 21 may set a time shorter than the first time (for example, 3 minutes) as the second time.

  For example, the controller 21 can identify the user's behavior as driving when detecting acceleration of a predetermined value or more acting on the mobile phone 1 based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor. It is difficult for the user to operate the mobile phone 1 while driving a bicycle or a car. When the controller 21 identifies the user's action as driving, the controller 21 may set a time (for example, 30 minutes) longer than the first time as the second time. Alternatively, the controller 21 may postpone the notification of the unknown incoming call until the user's action is no longer specified as driving.

  For example, when the controller 21 detects an acceleration greater than or equal to a predetermined value acting on the mobile phone 1 and a magnetic field greater than or equal to a predetermined intensity based on the detection results of the acceleration sensor and the magnetic sensor, the controller 21 identifies the user's action as moving on a train. Can do. There is a lot of noise in the train. Therefore, it is difficult for the user to notice the presence of the unknown incoming call while traveling by train. When the controller 21 specifies that the user's action is moving on a train, the controller 21 may set a time shorter than the first time (for example, 3 minutes) as the second time.

  Further, the controller 21 may set the notification mode according to the state of the mobile phone 1 in the second and subsequent notifications. Specifically, the controller 21 may set a notification mode according to the identified user action.

  For example, the controller 21 may collect environmental sounds around the mobile phone 1 with the microphone 8 when the user's action is specified as walking or driving. The controller 21 may notify the user by causing the speaker 10 to output a ring tone at a volume equivalent to the environmental sound. Furthermore, the controller 21 may notify the user by vibrating the vibration unit 11 in a pattern longer than a preset pattern when the user's action is specified as walking or driving.

  In addition, the controller 21 may stop the snooze process when the third time elapses after detecting the unknown incoming call or when the number of notifications reaches the set number. The controller 21 may set the third time and the set number of times according to the state of the mobile phone 1. Specifically, the controller 21 may set the third time and the set number of times according to the identified user action. In this case, the controller 21 may set the predetermined time so that the third time becomes longer in the order of non-holding of the mobile phone 1, driving, traveling on a train, and walking. Further, the controller 21 sets the set number of times so that the set number of times increases in the order of walking, moving by train, driving, and non-holding of the mobile phone 1.

  Similarly to the first notification, the controller 21 may notify the user of the presence of an unknown incoming call by displaying a notification image as shown in FIG. Here, when the soft key 31 is arranged on the notification image 30 shown in FIG. 4, the controller 21 does not have to display the notification image 30 on the display 2 when notifying the user at the last notification timing. Good. At this time, the controller 21 may notify the user by outputting a ring tone from the speaker 10, vibrating the vibration unit 11, or both.

<Release processing>
The controller 21 may interrupt the snooze process when the second user operation is detected in response to the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call even before the third time has elapsed. Similarly, when detecting the second user operation for the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call, the controller 21 may interrupt the snooze process even if the number of notifications has not reached the set number. The second user operation is a user operation for notification of the presence of an unknown incoming call. That is, the second user operation is an operation that can be performed on the mobile phone 1 by a user who notices the presence of the unknown incoming call by notifying the presence of the unknown incoming call.

  The second user operation includes a user operation on the soft key 31 arranged on the notification image 30. When the controller 21 detects a user operation on the soft key 31 while displaying the notification image 30 on the display 2, the controller 21 interrupts the snooze process. When canceling the snooze process, the controller 21 may cause the display 2 to display a cancel image indicating the cancellation of the snooze process. An example of the release image will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a screen including the release image 32 of the snooze process displayed on the display 2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 5A shows a screen of the display 2 when the screen lock function of the mobile phone 1 is valid. FIG. 5B shows the screen of the display 2 when the screen lock function of the mobile phone 1 is invalid. The release image 32 is displayed at the bottom of the display 2 as shown in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B). The controller 21 may display the release image 32 by animation. By displaying the release image 32 by animation, the user's attention can be drawn more.

  Further, the second user operation includes a user operation for making a call from the mobile phone 1 to the source of the unknown call, and a user operation for deleting the display of the unknown call from the screen showing the call history. May be. These user operations will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a screen showing a call history displayed on the display 2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 6A, the controller 21 detects the unknown incoming call at 10:39 on January 20.

  The soft key 33 is a touch sensor type soft key. Soft key 33 accepts a user operation for making a call to a caller of an unknown incoming call. The controller 21 may interrupt the snooze process when detecting a user operation on the soft key 33. At this time, the controller 21 may display the release image 32 on the lower portion of the display 2.

  The controller 21 may interrupt the snooze process when detecting a user operation for deleting the display 34 indicating the unknown incoming call (for example, an operation of pressing and holding the display 34 for a long time). At this time, the controller 21 may display the release image 32 on the lower portion of the display 2.

  The controller 21 may interrupt the snooze process when the call history is displayed on the display 2. The controller 21 may execute this process when the display 34 indicating the missed call as shown in FIG. 6 can be erased when the call history is displayed on the display 2.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the mobile phone according to the first embodiment. When the controller 21 detects an incoming call from another communication device, it starts the operation shown in FIG.

  The controller 21 determines whether or not a first user operation is detected for the detected incoming call (step S1). When it is determined that the first user operation is detected for the detected incoming call (step S1: Yes), the controller 21 ends the process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first user operation is not detected for the detected incoming call (step S1: No), that is, when the unknown call is detected, the controller 21 proceeds to the process of step S2.

  In the process of step S2, the controller 21 notifies the user of the presence of the unknown incoming call by the notification unit after the first time has elapsed. The notification by execution of the process of step S2 is the first notification.

  In the process of step S3, the controller 21 determines whether or not the second user operation is detected in response to the notification of the presence of the unknown call. When it is determined that the second user operation has been detected in response to the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call (step S3: Yes), the controller 21 ends the process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second user operation is not detected in response to the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call (step S3: No), the controller 21 proceeds to the process of step S4.

  In the process of step S <b> 4, the controller 21 detects the state of the mobile phone 1 by the sensor unit 14. In the process of step S <b> 5, the controller 21 collects environmental sounds around the mobile phone 1 using the microphone 8.

  In the process of step S6, the controller 21 sets the second time and the volume of the speaker 10 based on the state of the mobile phone 1 and the environmental sound. In the process of step S7, after the second time has elapsed, the controller 21 notifies the user of the presence of the unknown incoming call by the notification unit. The notification by the execution of the process of step S7 is a notification after the second time.

  In the process of step S8, the controller 21 determines whether or not a third time has elapsed since the detection of the unknown incoming call. When it is determined that the third time has elapsed (step S8: Yes), the controller 21 ends the process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the third time has not elapsed (step S8: No), the controller 21 proceeds to the process of step S9.

  In the process of step S9, the controller 21 determines whether or not the number of notifications has reached the set number. When the controller 21 determines that the number of notifications has reached the set number (step S9: Yes), the process ends. On the other hand, when the controller 21 determines that the number of notifications does not reach the set number (step S9: No), the controller 21 returns to the process of step S3.

  Note that the controller 21 detects a second incoming call from the same caller during the processing of steps S1 to S8, and when the call function is not executed for the incoming call, the controller 21 starts again from step S1. You may perform the process of.

  As described above, the mobile phone 1 according to the first embodiment causes the notification unit to notify the presence of the unknown incoming call at a timing including at least different time intervals depending on the state of the mobile phone 1. Such control makes it possible to appropriately notify the user as described below.

  For example, it is assumed that the presence of an unknown incoming call is notified at regular time intervals. In this case, in order to reliably notify the user, it is necessary to notify the presence of the unknown incoming call at a fixed time interval of about 5 minutes. However, for example, when the user is not holding the mobile phone 1 because the user is attending the event, even if the presence of the unknown incoming call is notified at a fixed time interval of about 5 minutes, the user ends the event. Until then, it is impossible to notice the presence of an unknown incoming call by notification. In such a case, unnecessary notification is executed until the event ends. Unnecessary notification may increase the power consumption of the mobile phone 1. Moreover, it is assumed that unnecessary notifications may cause trouble to the surroundings.

  On the other hand, the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment notifies the presence of the unknown incoming call at a timing according to the state of the mobile phone 1 instead of notifying the presence of the unknown call. Therefore, according to the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, the unnecessary notification as described above can be reduced, and it is possible to appropriately notify the user. Furthermore, the power consumption of the mobile phone 1 can be reduced by reducing unnecessary notifications. In addition, it is possible to prevent the surroundings from being disturbed by reducing unnecessary notifications. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, an improved mobile phone 1 can be provided.

  Furthermore, the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment can notify the presence of the unknown incoming call by displaying a screen as shown in FIG. 4A or 4B on the display 2. By such processing, the mobile phone 1 can prevent the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call from being confused with the normal incoming call notification.

  In addition, the snooze function according to the present embodiment may be enabled in the initial setting of the mobile phone 1. By such processing, it is possible to save the user from setting the mobile phone 1 in order to use the snooze function according to the present embodiment. Moreover, even if the user does not know that the mobile phone 1 can execute the snooze function according to this embodiment, the mobile phone 1 can execute the snooze function. Thereby, the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment is excellent in user convenience.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a mobile phone according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. The mobile phone according to the second embodiment can adopt the same configuration as the mobile phone 1 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, the following description will focus on differences from the first embodiment with reference to FIG.

  When the controller 21 according to the second embodiment specifies that the user is moving based on the state of the mobile phone 1, the controller 21 postpones the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call. The movement includes, for example, the movement described above in the first embodiment, during walking, during driving, and during movement by train. For example, when the controller 21 specifies that the user's action is any one of walking, driving, and moving on the train based on the detection result of the sensor unit 14, the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call is postponed. .

  On the other hand, when the controller 21 specifies that the user is not moving, the controller 21 notifies the presence of the unknown incoming call at the notification timing including at least different time intervals. The notification timing may be a pattern according to the time zone. The controller 21 may select the notification timing based on the current time. Hereinafter, an example of the notification timing will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating notification timing according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure. The time 0 seconds shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C corresponds to the time when the unknown incoming call is detected. The notification timings shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C may be stored in the storage 20.

  The notification timing shown in FIG. 8A can be adopted in a time zone in which the user is at home. The time zone in which the user is at home is a time zone from 18:00 to 6 o'clock, for example. In such a time zone, while the user is going to the bathroom, while the user is commuting, while the user is walking from his / her home to the station (or from the station to his / her home) and while the user is taking a bath, an unknown incoming call is received. Can be detected. Here, the time required for the user to take the toilet is about 5 minutes. The time required for the user to walk while commuting is about 20 minutes. The time required for the user to take a bath is about 40 minutes.

  In consideration of the above, in FIG. 8A, the controller 21 notifies the presence of the unknown incoming call at the timing of 5, 10, 20, and 60 minutes after detecting the presence of the unknown incoming call. In other words, the controller 21 receives the unknown call at different time intervals of 0 second to 5 minutes, 5 minutes from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, 10 minutes from 10 minutes to 20 minutes, and 40 minutes from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Announce the presence of

  The notification timing shown in FIG. 8B can be adopted during a time period when the user is working in the workplace. The time zone in which the user works at the workplace includes, for example, a time zone from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock and a time zone from 13 o'clock to 17 o'clock. In such a time zone, an unknown incoming call can be detected while the user is away.

  In consideration of the above, in FIG. 8B, the controller 21 notifies the presence of the unknown incoming call at the timing of 5, 12, 20, and 60 minutes after detecting the presence of the unknown incoming call. That is, the controller 21 has different time intervals of 5 minutes from 0 seconds to 5 minutes, 7 minutes from 5 minutes to 12 minutes, 8 minutes from 12 minutes to 20 minutes, and 40 minutes from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Then, the presence of an unknown incoming call is notified.

  The notification timing shown in FIG. 8C can be adopted during a lunch break. The lunch break time zone is, for example, a time zone from 12:00 to 13:00. In such a time zone, an unknown incoming call may be detected while the user is going to the employee cafeteria or going out to have lunch. The time required for the user to eat is, for example, about 50 minutes.

  In consideration of the above, in FIG. 8C, the controller 21 notifies the presence of the unknown incoming call at the timing of 5 minutes, 55 minutes, and 60 minutes after the presence of the unknown incoming call is detected. That is, the controller 21 notifies the presence of the unknown incoming call at different time intervals of 5 minutes from 0 seconds to 5 minutes and 55 minutes to 60 minutes and 50 minutes from 5 minutes to 55 minutes.

  The controller 21 may select the notification timing as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C based on the current time. For example, the controller 21 may select the notification timing shown in FIG. 8A when the current time is 19:00. For example, the controller 21 may select the notification timing shown in FIG. 8B when the current time is 10:00. For example, the controller 21 may select the notification timing shown in FIG. 8C when the current time is 12:30. In addition, you may set beforehand the timing which alert | reports as shown to FIG. 8 (A)-FIG. 8 (C) so that a user may suit own life pattern.

  Further, the controller 21 may interrupt the snooze process when detecting a second user operation described later in response to the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call. For example, in FIG. 8A, after notifying the presence of a missed call at 5 minutes, the controller 21 interrupts the snooze process at 7 minutes and stops the snooze process after 7 minutes. The notification may not be performed. By such processing, it is possible to reduce an increase in power consumption of the mobile phone 1 due to unnecessary notification. In addition, such processing can prevent the surroundings from being disturbed by unnecessary notification.

  Here, the higher the degree of urgency that the caller wants to convey to the user of the mobile phone 1, the shorter the time it takes for the caller to call again after the incoming call is disconnected. On the other hand, the lower the degree of urgency that the caller wants to convey to the user of the mobile phone 1, the longer it takes for the caller to call again after the incoming call is disconnected. In addition, the user of the mobile phone 1 often pays attention to the mobile phone 1 when he / she is scheduled to receive a call regarding a requirement of high urgency. On the other hand, the user of the mobile phone 1 rarely pays attention to the mobile phone 1 when he / she does not plan to receive a phone call regarding requirements with high urgency.

  In view of the above, after notifying the presence of the unknown incoming call after notifying the presence of the unknown incoming call at the first time interval, the controller 21 is longer than the first time interval when the second user operation described below is not detected. The presence of the unknown incoming call may be notified at the second time interval. For example, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), after notifying the presence of the unknown incoming call at intervals of 5 minutes from 0 seconds to 5 minutes, the controller 21 starts from 5 minutes when the second user operation to be described later is not detected. The presence of the unknown incoming call may be notified at an interval of 7/12 minutes. Further, in view of the above, the time interval for notifying the presence of the unknown incoming call may become longer with the elapsed time after detecting the unknown incoming call, as shown in FIG.

  By such a control, for example, since the user is going to the toilet, even if an unknown incoming call is detected, it is possible to promptly notify the presence of the unknown incoming call regarding the requirement of high urgency. Since the user often pays attention to the mobile phone 1 when he / she is scheduled to receive a call regarding a requirement with a high degree of urgency, the notification of the unknown call can be quickly grasped by the notification. Furthermore, when an unknown incoming call relating to a requirement that is not urgent is detected, it is possible to prevent unnecessary notification from being made to a user who does not pay much attention to the mobile phone 1.

  Also, if the user does not notice the presence of the unknown incoming call even if the user continues to notify the presence of the unknown incoming call for a predetermined time of about 60 minutes, the user will continue to notify the presence of the unknown incoming call, Often not noticed. In other words, if the user does not notice the presence of the unknown incoming call even if the user continues to notify the presence of the unknown incoming call for a predetermined time of about 60 minutes, then there is little need to continue to notify the presence of the missed incoming call.

  In view of the above, the controller 21 may stop the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call after a predetermined time has elapsed since the presence of the unknown incoming call is detected. In the example of FIGS. 8A to 8C, the predetermined time is set to 60 minutes, and the notification of the unknown incoming call is stopped after the lapse of 60 minutes. In the present embodiment, the power consumption of the mobile phone 1 can be reduced by stopping the notification of the unknown incoming call after a predetermined time has elapsed since the presence of the unknown incoming call is detected. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent inconvenience to the surroundings by continuously notifying the presence of a missed call.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the mobile phone 1 according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure. When the controller 21 detects an incoming call from another communication device, the controller 21 starts the operation shown in FIG. The process in step S10 is the same as the process in step S1 shown in FIG.

  The controller 21 specifies whether or not the user is moving based on the state of the mobile phone 1 (step S11). When the controller 21 specifies that the user is moving (step S11: Yes), the controller 21 postpones the snooze process and performs the process of step S11 again. On the other hand, when the controller 21 specifies that the user is not moving (step S11: No), the controller 21 proceeds to the process of step S12.

  In the process of step S12, the controller 21 acquires the current time from, for example, a timer mounted on the mobile phone 1. In the process of step S13, the controller 21 acquires notification timing from the storage 20, for example, based on the current time.

  In the process of step S14, the controller 21 refers to the notification timing selected in the process of step S13, and determines whether it is a notification timing. When the controller 21 determines that it is time to notify (step S14: Yes), the controller 21 proceeds to the process of step S15. On the other hand, when the controller 21 determines that it is not the timing to notify (step S14: No), it performs the process of step S14 again.

  In the process of step S15, the controller 21 notifies the user of the presence of the unknown incoming call by the notification unit. In the process of step S16, the controller 21 determines whether or not a second user operation has been detected in response to the notification of the presence of the unknown call. When it is determined that the second user operation has been detected in response to the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call (step S6: Yes), the controller 21 ends the process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second user operation is not detected in response to the notification of the presence of the unknown incoming call (step S16: No), the controller 21 proceeds to the process of step S17.

  In the process of step S17, the controller 21 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed after detecting the unknown incoming call. When it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S17: Yes), the controller 21 ends the process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S17: No), the controller 21 returns to the process of step S11.

  Note that the controller 21 detects another incoming call from the same caller during the processing of steps S10 to S17, and when the call function is not executed for the incoming call, the controller 21 starts again from step S1. You may perform the process of.

  Moreover, when the notification timing of the time zone when the user is at home is selected in the process of step S13, the controller 21 may postpone the snooze process when the caller of the unknown incoming call is a work-related person. In this case, the controller 21 may determine whether or not the caller of the unknown incoming call is a work related person based on the telephone directory.

  Further, when the notification timing of the time zone in which the user is working at the workplace is selected in the process of step S13, the controller 21 postpones snooze until there is an event that is currently being held. May be. In this case, the controller 21 may check the schedule registered in the calendar function and determine whether there is an event currently held. Similarly, when the notification tying in the lunch break time zone is selected in the process of step S13, the controller 21 may postpone snooze until the event ends when there is an event currently held.

  As described above, the mobile phone 1 according to the second embodiment specifies whether or not the user is moving based on the state of the mobile phone 1. Furthermore, when the mobile phone according to the present embodiment specifies that the user is not moving, the presence of the unknown call is not notified at the fixed time interval but at the notification timing including at least a different time interval. Is notified. By such control, as described above in the first embodiment, unnecessary notifications can be reduced, and it is possible to appropriately notify the user. Thereby, the power consumption of the mobile phone 1 can be reduced, and it is possible to prevent the surroundings from being disturbed. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, an improved mobile phone 1 can be provided.

  In the mobile phone 1 according to the second embodiment, other effects and configurations are the same as those of the mobile phone 1 according to the first embodiment.

Accordingly, it should be understood that these are also included in the scope of the present disclosure.

  For example, when the second user operation is detected for the first time when the snooze function is set to be effective in the initial setting of the mobile phone 1, the controller 21 displays a display related to the snooze function as shown in FIG. Alternatively, it may be displayed on the display 2. Furthermore, when the controller 21 detects a user operation on the touch sensor type soft key 35, the controller 21 receives detailed settings regarding the snooze function (for example, an incoming volume output from the speaker 10 at the time of notification) from the user. Also good.

  For example, in the first embodiment, the controller 21 may specify that the user's action is driving by a GPS (Global Positioning System) technology. In this case, the communication unit 13 may be designed to support GPS.

  For example, in the second embodiment, the controller 21 may specify whether or not the user is moving by GPS technology. In this case, the communication unit 13 may be designed to support GPS. Further, when the controller 21 specifies that the user is not moving, the controller 21 may acquire the position information of the user by GPS technology.
