2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a portable terminal device with an incoming melody having a structure as shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2 has been known (JP-A-9-74434). In the figure,
The user operates the input operation unit 1 to transmit the speed data of the incoming melody sound through the incoming melody sound speed processing unit 2 to the control unit 3.
Then, the control section 3 stores the incoming melody sound speed data in the incoming melody sound setting data storage section 4. After that, when there is an incoming call, the station line connection unit 5 connects this incoming call,
The incoming call detection unit 6 detects an incoming call and notifies the control unit 3 of it.

Then, the control unit 3 notifies the incoming call time measuring unit 7 of the incoming call to start measurement, stores the incoming call time measurement data in the incoming call time storage unit 8, and at the same time receives the incoming call in the incoming call melody sound storage unit 9. The detection of the signal is notified, and the incoming melody sound storage unit 9 sends the incoming melody sound signal to the signal processing unit 10. Further, the control unit 3 detects the incoming melody sound setting data stored in the incoming melody sound setting data storage unit 4 and the incoming call time measurement data stored in the incoming call time storage unit 8, respectively, and outputs the signal processing unit. Notify 10. The signal processing unit 10 performs signal processing on the incoming melody sound to vary the speed of the incoming melody sound with time.
The melody sound with the variable speed is produced from the speaker 11.

In this way, in the above-mentioned conventional portable terminal device, the speed of the incoming melody sound gradually changes with time in accordance with the incoming melody sound setting data, and the user's discomfort is alleviated. It is a thing.

By the way, in recent years, as the market user tendency of mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones is typified by so-called "original ringtones", individual users (users) try to assert their personality. There is a tendency for the user to listen to the ringing melody unique to the user, so that there is a tendency that the incoming call does not respond until one song of the original ringing melody has finished playing. However, in the above conventional portable terminal device, since the speed of the incoming melody is gradually changed with time, the time until the incoming call is answered can be shortened as compared with a device that does not perform speed control. The effect of shortening the time is not sufficient, and there is no means for switching and setting to an arbitrary speed among a plurality of speeds and a means for displaying at what speed the incoming melody should be played.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of a main part of a mobile terminal device according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the mobile terminal device includes an operation unit 21 operated by a user and a control unit 22 that integrally controls the entire device.
A signal processing section 23, a storage section 26 in which ringtone data is stored, and a sounder 28 for producing a ringtone melody. The operation unit 21 includes a key input unit 24 operated by a user and a display unit 25 for displaying the incoming sound speed and the like. The signal processing unit 23 has a variable frequency generator 27. However, in this embodiment, the variable frequency generator 27 outputs a clock having a fixed frequency, and the input is selected in advance by the key input unit 24 of the operation unit 21 and displayed on the display unit 25. It has a function of outputting a ringing tone from the sounder 28 at a high speed according to the data passed through the signal processing unit 23.
Although illustration is omitted, naturally, a known circuit unit for normal communication of the mobile terminal device, such as a wireless transmission / reception unit including an antenna and a handset, is also provided.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The user operates the key input unit 24 to select an arbitrary reproduction speed from a plurality of reproduction speeds displayed on the display unit 25, for example, double speed, quadruple speed and the like. The selected ringtone reproduction speed is input to the control unit 22 and also displayed on the display unit 2.
Displayed at 5. In this state, when a wireless transmission / reception unit (not shown) receives an incoming call from the network, the incoming call is notified to the control unit 22. Then, the control unit 22 reads the ringing tone data of the original ringing tone by the user, which is stored in advance in the memory 26, thins out the ringing tone data at intervals according to the selected ringing tone reproduction speed, and causes the signal processing unit 23 to do so. Supply.

For example, every two times the originally output time interval
When outputting to the signal processing unit 23 with the data of one time, the reproduction speed of the ringing tone data becomes double speed, and when outputting to the signal processing unit 23 with the data of once every four times of the originally output time interval, The playback speed of the ringtone data becomes four times faster. The ringing tone data is subjected to signal processing such as conversion to an analog signal based on a clock so that the sounder 28 can generate sound in the signal processing unit 23, and then is supplied to the sounder 28 to ring.

As a result, the output time from the sounder 28 is 1/2 (when the selected reproduction speed is 2 × speed) or 1/4 (when the selected reproduction speed is 4 × speed) without changing the original pitch of the ringing tone. ) And the original ringtone is pronounced. The user normally answers the incoming call after one tune of the original incoming melody has finished playing.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, since the output time of the ringing melody is shortened, not only the line traffic of the portable terminal is reduced, but also the discomfort of the ringing tone to the surrounding people (the ringing tone is regarded as noise). Discomfort to surrounding people) can be reduced. Further, according to this embodiment, the user selects an arbitrary reproduction speed from the reproduction speeds displayed on the display unit 25, so that the output time of the ringing tone can be predicted and the usability is good.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the output ring tone data of the memory 26 whose output is controlled by the control unit 22 is not thinned out as in the above-described embodiment. The output data clock frequency of the variable frequency generator 27 in the signal processing unit 23, which controls the output as it is and outputs the reference clock for D / A converting the ringing tone data of the original ringing melody, is set to the key input unit 24. The clock frequency may be doubled or quadrupled by a speed instruction selected by the operation unit 21 including the display unit 25. In this case, the voice signal of the analog signal (incoming melody signal) having a frequency corresponding to the output data clock frequency of the variable frequency generator 27 is output to the sounder 28, so that the pitch of the incoming call tone is higher than it should be. The output time can be set to 1/2 (when the selected clock frequency is doubled) or 1/4 (when the selected clock frequency is 4 times). Further, the speed is not limited to the original ringtone data, the speed can be changed for the normal ringtone, and the ringtone can be output quickly.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The user selects and inputs an arbitrary playback speed from the displayed multiple playback speeds, so that the ringtone with the output time corresponding to the selected playback speed is generated. The output time of the incoming melody can be shortened, so that the line traffic of the mobile terminal can be reduced, and at the same time, the discomfort of the incoming call sound to people around can be reduced. Further, according to the present invention, the user selects an arbitrary reproduction speed from the displayed reproduction speeds, so that the output time of the ringing tone can be predicted and the usability is good.
