DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone system, and more particularly to a service provided by adding a vibration detecting function to a portable terminal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional camp-on apparatus, a caller who encounters a busy state of a called telephone stores a called telephone and information of the calling telephone by performing a special operation. When the end of call is detected, the called telephone and the calling telephone can be called based on the stored information to enable a call (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 63-76557 and 63-3551). Gazette).

[0003] Further, there is a camp-on device in which a caller who encounters an unanswered call while the called party telephone is talking sets a specific operation and a calling time, and automatically calls both at a designated time. (See, for example, JP-A-63-1138).

[0004] When a caller who encounters a non-answer of the called telephone performs a specific operation, information relating to the call is stored in the storage unit of the exchange, and the information is viewed from the called telephone. There is a camp-on device that calls the caller by performing a specific operation.

[0005] Further, a caller who encounters an unanswered call of the called party telephone is determined to be present by performing a specific operation and detecting an on-hook operation following an off-hook operation of the called telephone, and automatically determines that he is present. There is a non-response camp-on device for calling both (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-277840,
See JP-A-2-166872).

When the called party's portable terminal is not called out of the communication range and the calling party performs a specific operation, when the called party's portable terminal returns to the communication range, the two are automatically set. There is a camp-on device capable of calling and calling (for example, see JP-A-4-337951).

[0007]

The above-described conventional camp-on device can provide a service when the called telephone is busy, and re-transmits the call when no answer is received due to the absence of the called party. I had to do it and it was inefficient.

[0008] Further, when calling automatically at a designated time, there is no means for confirming whether or not both are present at that time, and if there is no call, it is not possible to make a call again, which is inefficient.

Also, when the called party's telephone looks at the camp-on registration status of its own telephone terminal and makes a call, it is necessary to check the registration status by taking the telephone terminal every time, such as when the user is absent. It was very troublesome to check when the portable terminal was put in a bag or the like.

When a call is made by an on-hook operation following an off-hook operation of the called party telephone, the call is made from the time the called party is present to the time when the telephone is operated, regardless of whether the caller can talk. It was not efficient.

[0011] Further, the camp-on device for calling when the called party's portable terminal returns from the outside of the communication range to the calling range can provide a service when the called party's portable terminal is outside the communication range. Regardless, there is a problem that the service cannot be provided when the called party is absent.

[0012] The present invention utilizes the personality and mobility of a portable terminal to allow a caller to request a camp-on registration service even when the called party is not responding due to absence or the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a camp-on device for automatically and quickly connecting telephone calls and communications between the two.

[0013]

According to the present invention, a portable terminal is provided with a vibration detecting circuit for detecting a vibration, and a caller requests a service even when the called party is not responding due to absence or the like. Thus, the portable terminal of the called party is set to the vibration detection monitoring state, and by detecting the vibration, it is determined that the called party is in the vicinity of the portable terminal, and the call between the two is automatically connected.

According to the present invention, a detecting means for detecting vibration is provided on a portable terminal owned by the called party registered as a camp-on by the caller, and the portable terminal is vibrated when the called party carries the portable terminal. Is provided, the vibration is detected by the detection means, and the called party is regarded as being in the vicinity of the portable information terminal, and the two are automatically connected based on the camp-on registered information. .

[0015]

According to the present invention, a caller who encounters a non-response of a portable terminal of a called party due to absence of the called party performs camp-on registration by performing a specific operation, and the called party carries the portable terminal. In a car such as a car or a train, when the car is moved, vibration is given to the portable terminal, so that it is determined that the called party is in the vicinity of the portable terminal, and both are called. Connect automatically. As a result, a quick and efficient camp-on service is provided.

Next, the operation of the portable telephone system of the present invention will be described. In the mobile telephone system shown in FIG. 1, the control of the exchange 2 in the camp-on unregistered state is usually performed by searching the camp-on registration unit 251 in the state of (S20) in the flowchart shown in FIG. The process ends. Similarly, in the control of the mobile terminal (PS) 4, it is determined that the camp-on has not been registered in the state of (S10) in the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, and the process ends.

Next, in the portable telephone system shown in FIG. 1, a call is made from the telephone 1 to the portable terminal (PS) 4. However, no call is made due to the absence of the called party (user of the portable terminal 4). It is assumed that the caller (user of the telephone 1) has registered camp-on. There are various methods for registering the camp-on, which are well-known and will not be described in this embodiment. When the camp-on registration operation is performed, the exchange control unit (CPU) 24 of the exchange 2 calls the calling terminal information on the telephone 1 of the calling party and the portable terminal (PS) of the called party.

S) The service request information is transmitted to 3.

Note that a vibration detecting mechanism for detecting a walking motion used in a pedometer or the like can be used as the vibration detecting section. Further, in order to provide a more advanced vibration detection function, a vibration detection mechanism capable of detecting vibration while riding on a vehicle such as a car or a train is required in addition to the vibration detection by the walking motion or the like. As an example, it has vibration detecting means for detecting severe vibration such as starting and stopping of the vehicle occurring within a certain time or vibration detecting means for detecting periodic weak vibration such as running of the vehicle at a certain speed. There are a vibration detecting mechanism, a vibration detecting means for detecting the strong vibration, and a vibration detecting mechanism having a vibration detecting means for detecting the periodic weak vibration.

Radio base station (BS) 3 shown in FIG. 2 transmits radio waves (service request information) transmitted from portable terminal (PS) 4 as a called party via reception section 317 and control signal demodulation section 314. The station (BS) control unit 313 analyzes the
/ F section 310 and wireless control circuit (FIU) shown in FIG.
23 to the exchange 2.

Transition from (23) to (S24), the camp-on registration section 2
51, the called terminal information is read out, and the radio control circuit (FI)
U) 23 and the mobile terminal (PS) 4 shown in FIG. 3 are called via the radio base station (BS) 3 shown in FIG. When the user (called party) of the portable terminal (PS) 4 answers, a transition is made from (S25) to (S26) in the operation flowchart shown in FIG. Next, the process proceeds to (S27), where the registration information of the camp-on registration unit 251 is deleted, and the camp-on service is completely terminated.

In this embodiment, the control unit of the exchange 2 and the portable terminal (PS) 4 controls the camp-on service, but other devices (wireless base stations and other devices connected to the portable telephone system) May perform the same processing.

In the above-described embodiment, the camp-on device has been described. However, if there is no need to make a call and only a message or memo is to be notified to the called party by voice or a display device, the message or memo is used. By detecting the vibration of the registration of the mobile terminal, the ringing tone control unit 415 of the mobile terminal calls the own terminal, informs the called party, and the called party operates the mobile terminal to send a message or memo. You may be asked to listen and watch.

Further, when a call is made to the portable terminal (PS) 4, the ring tone volume or tone or the ringing time can be changed by the ring tone control unit 415 depending on the vibration state of the portable terminal (PS) 4. Good. For example, when the portable terminal (PS) 4 is called from the telephone 1, if the vibration detection unit 413 of the portable terminal (PS) 4 is in the vibration non-detection state, the call is made with a normal ringing sound. There is also a method in which the portable terminal (PS) control unit 417 controls the ringing tone control unit 415 to make a call with a larger ringing tone. There is also a method in which a call in a vibration non-detection state is notified to the called party by a ringing sound, and a call in the vibration detection state is notified to the called party by vibrating the own portable terminal.

When the portable terminal (PS) 4 is called and a call is made, the call level may be automatically changed based on the vibration state. For example, the mobile terminal (P
S) When a call is made by calling 4, the portable terminal (P
S) If the vibration detection unit 413 in the step 4 is in a vibration non-detection state,
If you talk at the normal call level and the vibration is detected,
The mobile terminal (P
S) There is also a method in which the control unit 417 controls the call level.

The vibration detection unit 4 of the portable terminal (PS) 4
The control of the power ON / OFF or the power consumption mode may be performed by the control unit 13. For example, if the mobile terminal is not used while the power is on, the power is automatically turned off after a certain period of time after the vibration is no longer detected. There is also a method of turning on the power supply.

[0032]

By detecting the vibration of the portable terminal, it is possible to provide an easy-to-use service tailored to the user. Further, even when the caller cannot be contacted due to absence or the like, requesting the service enables the callee to be notified earlier by message or memo. Further, even when the called party does not respond due to absence or the like, by requesting the service, the called party carries a portable terminal, and in the car, when the car is moved, for example, when the car is moved. When the terminal is vibrated, it is determined that the called party is in the vicinity, and the calls between the two parties can be automatically connected, so that a quick and more efficient camp-on service can be performed.
