DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile phone identification number, and more particularly to a mobile phone with a function of transmitting and receiving personal information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional portable telephone, a line network transmits a telephone number of a calling terminal to a called terminal based on an identification number for identifying the calling terminal. Therefore, the receiving terminal recognizes the telephone number of the transmitting terminal. If the personal information of the number is registered in the memory dial on the receiving terminal, the personal information is displayed, and if not, only the telephone number is displayed.

However, this conventional technique has the following problems.

[0004] The first problem is that personal information such as the name of the caller cannot be displayed, and only the telephone number is displayed unless the call is from a caller registered in the memory dial on the receiving terminal. Therefore, when an incoming call is received from the first party, it is difficult to know who the other party is. The reason is that the only information sent is the telephone number.

[0005] The second problem is that the user himself must manually input all personal information such as the name of the other party to be registered in the memory dial. The reason is that information such as the name of the other party is not received.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, Japanese Patent Application No. 2-79652, entitled "Terminal with Automatic Communication Party Information Registration Function", registers personal information common to users limited to terminals. Discloses that the database is searched using the telephone number obtained from the line network, and the obtained result is automatically registered in a personal database (memory dial for a mobile phone). are doing.

[0007]

However, this technique also has the following problems.

[0008] The first problem is that it is difficult to mount it on a portable telephone used by an individual because of the capacity of the common database.

[0009] The reason is that it is considered that a common database is relatively small because the number of access destinations is limited in a wired terminal or the like used mainly in a company. In a market situation where the number of registered databases (memory dials) is supported, such as 500, having a common database within a group requires a considerably large amount of memory. A method of placing a common database in a network is also conceivable, but the time required for search and the use of the network for registering or changing personal information must be used, resulting in unnecessary traffic. .

[0010] The second problem is that a personal database is created even though there is a common database.

[0011] The reason is that if there is a common database, the caller only has to search for the telephone number of the other party from the database and make a telephone call. The result may be displayed on the display unit. There is no need to set up a personal database, just wasting resources.

It is an object of the present invention to easily register personal information, automatically create a telephone directory, and, even when an incoming call is received from an unregistered party, look at the personal information such as the name of the other party and make a telephone call. The present invention is to provide a mobile phone with a personal information transmitting / receiving function that can appear in a mobile phone.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to transmit and receive personal information that can be registered, changed, and switched between public and private without holding huge data and without using a network. It is to provide a mobile phone with a function.

[0014]

According to the present invention, there is provided a portable telephone having a personal information transmitting / receiving function in which personal information of a user is previously set in the portable telephone and the personal information is stored in the portable telephone. At the start of transmission / reception, a transmitting means for transmitting the stored personal information through a call request and a call confirmation, and a receiving side receiving the transmitted personal information of the transmitting side, and receiving the personal information of the transmitting side. Receiving the personal information of the receiving side returned from the receiving side after registering the personal information in the memory, and retransmitting the personal information upon detecting transmission / reception failure due to an error when transmitting / receiving the personal information between the mobile phones. Resending means, second storage means for receiving the received personal information of the transmitting side and registering the personal information in a memory, starting an incoming call process upon receiving a call, displaying the received personal information, Note when And a display means for displaying more extract personal information of the other party.

According to the present invention, personal information such as a user's name and address is registered in the mobile phone in advance and transmitted and received during call processing and call processing, and the personal information is displayed on the display unit when an incoming call is received. And a configuration that can be automatically registered in the memory dial.

In FIG. 1, a storage unit 101 has an area for storing personal information 102 of a user and a memory dial 103. The user inputs the personal information of the user himself / herself from the operation unit 108 and stores the personal information in the personal information 102 of the user in advance. In the terminal on the transmitting side, when making a call, the control unit 104 retrieves the personal information 102 of the user from the storage unit 101 and transmits the personal information of the user by the wireless unit 105. In the terminal on the receiving side that has received the personal information, the control unit 104 outputs the personal information of the caller received by the wireless unit 105 to the display unit 107, or stores the personal information in the storage unit 101.
Is registered in the memory dial 103 in the table.

Thereafter, in the terminal on the receiving side, the control unit 104 retrieves the user's personal information 102 from the storage unit 101 and transmits the personal information of the called party from the wireless unit 105. In the terminal on the transmitting side, the control unit 104 outputs the personal information of the called party received by the wireless unit 105 to the display unit 107 and registers the personal information in the memory dial 103 in the storage unit 101.
In this way, the personal information of the user is transmitted and received at the time of call processing and at the time of a call, the personal information of the other party is displayed on the display unit, and automatic registration to the memory dial is enabled.

In the present invention, the first problem is that it is difficult to mount it on a portable telephone used by an individual in view of the capacity of the common database, and the second problem is that there is a common database. Nevertheless, the point of creating a personal database is solved as follows.

The first problem is that, instead of providing a common database, each mobile phone disperses and holds the personal information of each user by one person.
Solved.

The second problem is solved by the fact that there is no significance in creating a personal database (memory dial) because there is no common database.

[0021]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a portable telephone having a function of transmitting and receiving personal information, which is the basis of the present invention. Referring to the figure, one embodiment of the present invention is a storage unit 10

The storage unit 101 stores the user's personal information 1 as a part for storing personal information such as the user's name and telephone number.
02 and a memory dial 103 as a part for storing personal information of the other party.

The control section 104 is a section for controlling the entire portable telephone. The control unit 104 retrieves information from the storage unit 101, stores information in the storage unit 101, receives an input from the operation unit 108, generates an output to the display unit 107, and issues a transmission / reception instruction to the wireless unit 105. I do.

The radio section 105 is a section for modulating and demodulating a radio signal transmitted / received via the antenna 106. Display unit 10
Reference numeral 7 denotes a portion for displaying information. The operation unit 108 is a unit that receives an input from a user.

Next, the overall operation of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the equipment configuration of the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal of FIG. 2 and the flowchart of FIG. In this embodiment, transmission and reception of personal information are performed at the time of outgoing / incoming call processing.

Before making or receiving a call, the user inputs personal information to the control unit 104 from the operation unit 108 in advance as described with reference to FIG. Upon receiving the personal information from the operation unit 108, the control unit 104 stores the personal information 102 of the user in the storage unit 101.

According to FIGS. 2 and 3, the user on the calling side inputs an instruction to make a call from the operation unit 218. Control unit 21
4 starts the calling process. First, the wireless unit 214 is instructed to transmit a call request signal. The call request signal transmitted from the radio unit 215 passes through the network and is transmitted to the radio unit 2 of the called terminal.
25 (call request 311).

Radio unit 225 receiving the call request signal
Reports the reception of the call request signal to the control unit 224. Thereafter, the control unit 224 causes the wireless unit 225 to transmit a call confirmation signal (call confirmation 312).

Radio unit 215 receiving the call confirmation signal
Is reported to the control unit 214. Thereafter, the control unit 214 extracts the user's personal information 212 from the storage unit 211,
Transmit from wireless unit 215 (personal information 31 of sender)
3).

The wireless unit 225 that has received the personal information passes the personal information to the control unit 224. Thereafter, the control unit 224 registers the received personal information in the memory dial 223 in the storage unit 221 and stores the user's personal information 2 in the storage unit 221.
22 is taken out and transmitted from the radio unit 225. Radio unit 2
15 receives the personal information and passes the personal information to the control unit 214. The control unit 214 registers the received personal information in the memory dial 213 in the storage unit 211 (personal information 314 of the recipient).

After that, the control unit 224 starts the incoming call processing. The control unit 224 displays the received personal information of the caller on the display unit 227 (incoming call processing 321). Then, if the incoming call is accepted, the control unit 224 transmits an incoming call signal from the wireless unit 225 (incoming call 315). Thereafter, the receiving terminal enters a calling state (calling 32
2).

The calling terminal that has received the incoming call signal is also in a state of calling the called terminal (calling 322).

When the user on the receiving side inputs a response instruction from the operation unit 228, the control unit 224 transmits a response signal from the wireless unit 225 (response 316).

In the transmitting terminal that has received the response signal, control section 214 transmits a response confirmation signal from radio section 215 (response confirmation 317). Thereafter, the calling terminal is in a call state (during a call 323).

The receiving terminal that has received the response confirmation signal is also in a state of talking and is ready to talk (during a call 323).

The outgoing / incoming call processing is performed in the above process.

In some cases, the caller or callee has not entered personal information or does not want to disclose personal information. The processing flow in this case will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing only the transmission / reception portion of the personal information.
The timing of 623 indicates the timing at which the processing of the flowchart of FIG. 4 is performed, and the timing of 622 and 624 indicates the timing at which the processing of the flowchart of FIG. 5 is performed.

At the time of transmitting personal information on the sender side,
When the personal information has not been input or when the personal information has not been disclosed, the processing before transmitting the personal information (timing of 621) is performed as shown in FIG.
Is performed according to the flowchart of FIG. First, it is checked whether or not personal information has been input (401). If the personal information has not been input, an empty personal information is transmitted (403). In this case, similar to the conventional call processing,
If the sender announces the telephone number, the telephone number of the sender is sent to the receiving terminal by the network. The same procedure is performed when personal information is input but not disclosed (402). If the personal information has been entered and is open, the personal information 611 of the sender is transmitted (404).

Thereafter, the receiving terminal receives the personal information 61 of the sender.
1 is received, and the processing in that case is performed according to the flowchart of FIG. It is detected whether there is personal information sent (501). If there is personal information (502), the personal information is displayed or registered in the memory dial. If the callee is empty (503), the callee has not entered personal information or kept it private, so if the callee notified the phone number as before, only the phone number is displayed on the display unit. Display,
The number is stored in the incoming call history.

Thereafter, personal information 6 of the called party is received from the called terminal.
12 is transmitted, and also at this time, before transmission (at the timing of 623), processing is performed according to the procedure of FIG.

Finally, the calling terminal is the recipient's personal information 61.
2 is also received, and at that time, it is processed according to the procedure of FIG.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

In the first embodiment, the transmission and reception of the personal information shown in FIG. 6 was performed after the call confirmation signal. However, the point is that the transmission and reception of the personal information may be performed during the incoming and outgoing call processing and during the call processing. Therefore, the timing shown in FIG. 7 can be considered as the timing for transmitting and receiving personal information. This timing is as shown in the first embodiment. Further, the configuration of the mobile phone in each of the following embodiments is the same as that of the first embodiment.

In the second embodiment, transmission and reception of personal information are performed at the following timing. After the incoming signal is sent from the called terminal to the calling terminal 713, the calling terminal enters the ringing state 722. Thereafter, the calling terminal transmits the sender's personal information 611. The receiving terminal that has received the personal information transmits the personal information 612 of the called party to the transmitting terminal. Thereafter, when there is a response instruction from the called party, the called terminal transmits a response signal 714 to the calling terminal. In the case where the receiving terminal receives a response instruction from the called party during transmission / reception of personal information, the response signal 714 is transmitted after the transmission / reception of personal information is completed in order to avoid confusion.

In this embodiment, the personal information can be exchanged at the time when the receiving terminal calls the called party, and the time required for the incoming and outgoing call processing can be reduced.

In the third embodiment, personal information is transmitted and received at the following timing. Upon receiving a response instruction from the called party, the called terminal transmits a response signal 714 to the calling terminal. Thereafter, the calling terminal transmits a response acknowledgment signal 715 to the called terminal, and the state changes to a busy state 723. The receiving terminal that has received the response confirmation signal 715 also enters the busy state 723. Thereafter, the calling terminal transmits the sender's personal information 611. The receiving terminal that has received the personal information transmits the personal information 612 of the called party to the calling terminal.

In this embodiment, since personal information can be transmitted and received without changing the protocol of the outgoing / incoming call processing, it can be easily introduced into an actual portable telephone.

Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In the first, second, and third embodiments, in the exchange of personal information, as shown in FIG. 6, the transmitting terminal transmits the personal information 611 of the caller, and the receiving terminal receives the personal information 611. Sent the personal information 612 of the called party. With this method, it is impossible to resend the personal information even if a situation occurs in which the transmission and reception cannot be performed correctly due to some error during the transmission and reception of the personal information. Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, the personal information confirmation signal 814
And the timers 821 and 824 so that the personal information can be retransmitted.

First, the personal information 81 of the caller is transmitted from the caller terminal.
Send 1 At this time, the calling terminal operates a timer (821). When the personal information 811 of the caller reaches the receiving terminal successfully, the personal information 812 of the caller is received by the receiving terminal.
Send At this time, the timer is similarly activated in the receiving terminal (824). The calling terminal is the recipient's personal information 81
When receiving 2, the timer is stopped (822),
The personal information confirmation signal 814 is transmitted to the receiving terminal. The receiving terminal that has received the confirmation signal 814 also stops the timer similarly (825). If the sender's personal information 811
Is not sent correctly, the recipient's personal information 81
2 is not sent, the timer expires (823), and the personal information 813 of the sender is retransmitted. If the personal information 812 of the called party is not sent correctly, the personal information confirmation signal 814 is not sent.
The timer expires (826) and resends the recipient's personal information 815.

By taking such a process, the reliability of transmission and reception of personal information can be improved.

[0053]

The first effect is that the number of times of complicated Japanese input can be reduced. The reason is that, by receiving information such as the name, telephone number, and memo of the other party and automatically registering the information in the memory dial, the user is less likely to input information such as the name.

The second effect is that even a person who does not know how to register to the memory dial can automatically create a telephone directory while using it. The reason is that the personal information of the called party can be automatically registered in the memory dial.

A third effect is that even when a call is received from a partner who is not registered in the memory dial, the user can answer the call after seeing personal information such as the partner's name. The reason is that personal information can be received and displayed when the called party is called.

It is possible to envisage a method in which personal information is not stored in the mobile phone but is registered in a server in the network and the personal information is transmitted from the network. The effect of this is that, although personal information for the number of lines becomes huge data, there is no need to register the personal information in a server in the line network, so that the huge data does not need to be stored. The reason is that the mobile phone has personal information and transmits and receives it.

As a fifth effect, in the case where personal information is stored in the network, the network must be used for processing such as registration, change, and switching between disclosure and non-public of the personal information. However, according to the present invention, processing such as registration and change of personal information and switching between public and private can be performed without using a line network. The reason is that the mobile phone has personal information.
