In the ringtone melody number 2, ringtone melody data 2 (for example, "red shoes" of a nursery rhyme) is registered. In the ringtone melody number 3, ringtone melody data 3 (for example, "Momotaro" of a nursery rhyme) is registered. It should be noted that no data is registered in the ring tone melody numbers 4 to M.

Next, the operation of the communication terminal device according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

When the control unit 7 detects the caller number transmitted upon receiving an incoming call, it searches the telephone directory memory unit of the storage unit 10 and determines whether the same telephone number as the caller number is registered. Judge. If the control unit 7 determines that it is not registered, it displays the received caller number and generates a normal ring tone synchronized with the ring signal, but if it determines that it is registered, it registers the incoming melody number. It is determined whether or not it has been performed.

For example, if the received calling party number is 090-6
If it is 543-2109, since the incoming melody number is not registered, “Jiro Yamashita” registered in the name is displayed, and a normal ring tone synchronized with the ring signal is generated. Is 090-8765-432
Assuming that 1, the incoming melody number 3 is registered, the incoming melody memory section of the storage section 10 is searched, the incoming melody data 1 is read out and played, and "Hanako Yamada" registered in the name is displayed. Meanwhile, the following lighting control is performed.

FIG. 3 is a timing chart showing the relationship between incoming melody data and lighting control stored in the communication terminal device according to the present invention.

FIG. 3A shows one bar of the incoming melody data 1 and includes a do (half note), a fa (quarter note), a do (eighth note: high note) and a la (eighth note). It indicates that it will continue.

The control section 7 searches a lighting control data memory section (not shown) of the storage section 10, and reads out and stores the emission color data and the lighting length data in advance. For example, it is assumed that data for emitting red light for a sound less than M, blue for a sound from Fara to Fara, and yellow for a sound above F is registered as emission color data. Further, it is assumed that data for lighting for a length obtained by subtracting 0.1 second from a sound length corresponding to a note is registered as lighting length data. Specifically, according to the lighting length data, if the half note is 1 second, the lighting is performed for 0.9 seconds. In addition,
The lighting length data may be data that lights up 80% of the length of the sound corresponding to each note.
The reason why the display unit is turned on for a time shorter than the length of the sound corresponding to each note in this way is to clearly distinguish between turning on and off even when the same luminescent color continues. Therefore, when the emission colors are different, the lighting may be continued.

FIG. 3B shows the timing of the lighting control, and the display unit 10 emits light in accordance with this timing.

When the ringing melody performance is started, the control unit 7 recognizes the pitch and length of the note to be played, and controls the lighting of the display unit 10 based on the emission color data and the lighting length data.

First, when the control section 7 recognizes that the incoming melody data (see FIG. 3A) is a half note and a low tone, the control section 7 sets the emission color to red in accordance with the emission color data and the lighting length data. The lighting control of the display unit 10 is performed so that the lighting length becomes 2T-0.1 second, and then the light is turned off and the process waits for 2T seconds to elapse. When the incoming melody data is recognized as a quarter note, the lighting control of the display unit 10 is performed so that the emission color is blue and the lighting length is 1T-0.1 second, and then the light is turned off. Wait for 1T seconds to elapse.

Next, when the control section 7 recognizes that the incoming melody data is an eighth note and a high note, it emits yellow light and emits light of 0.5T- in accordance with the light emission color data and the light length data. The lighting control of the display unit 10 is performed so that the time becomes 0.1 second, and then the light is turned off and waits for 0.5 T seconds to elapse. Then, when it is recognized that the incoming melody data is an eighth note, the light color is blue and the lighting length is 0.5T-
The lighting control of the display unit 10 is performed so that the time becomes 0.1 second, and then the light is turned off and waits for 0.5 T seconds to elapse. Further, the control unit 7 performs similar display control according to the subsequent incoming melody data.

By operating the key input unit 8, desired data can be input for the emission color data and the lighting length data. Further, when the incoming melody data is a chord, the emission color may be determined according to the pitch of the main melody (for example, the middle pitch in the case of a triad). The vibration timing of the vibrator device included in the melody generating unit 11 is controlled based on the lighting length data shown in FIG. In this lighting control state, if the user presses the talk button, the control unit 7 recognizes this and ends the lighting control, and shifts to the talk mode according to the conventional procedure.

[0038]

As described above, according to the communication terminal device of the present invention, the luminescent color and the lighting length of the caller information display device are controlled based on the incoming melody corresponding to the caller. Therefore, the display at the time of the incoming call becomes gorgeous, and the playfulness of the user can be satisfied.

Further, even when the user wears the communication terminal device according to the present invention in a pocket or the like, the incoming call is notified by the vibration corresponding to the caller, so that the caller can be specified to some extent. .
