Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly to a mobile communication terminal that is advantageously applied to a PHS (Personal Handyphone System) terminal and can read a caller's state from an incoming call history.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a PHS / mobile phone has a function of displaying information such as the telephone number of the other party and the name corresponding to the telephone number and the incoming call time when an incoming call is received. Therefore, when there is no response on the called party side when the incoming call is received, the telephone number of the calling party and the incoming time are stored in a memory table provided in the telephone. In addition to normal calls, PHS / cell phones can also receive functions such as P-mail (text message transmission / reception) and bell mail (character transmission to pagers) to receive text messages and data communications. The incoming call history for each information type is also stored in the memory table.
[0003]
Therefore, when the recipient does not answer the call at the time of the incoming call, it can be confirmed by reading the incoming call history from the memory table by displaying the caller name or the caller telephone number and the information indicating the arrival time or the incoming call. it can.
[0004]
In addition, for character transmission, answering machine message, data communication, etc. that can be received without a response operation of the receiver, the history of incoming calls is stored in the memory table.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the conventional communication terminal can confirm the caller name, the caller telephone number, the incoming date and time, etc. by confirming the communication history, but in what state the caller makes a call. I couldn't know if it was. In other words, if the other party that called you wants to speak for an emergency, it will continue to call for a long time, and as a result, there was no response, so you gave up and hung up the phone, or it was not so urgent, so several ringing sounds I sometimes gave up and hung up, but I couldn't know the situation.
[0006]
In addition, it is difficult to confirm the type of information received for the character transmission or answering machine message that can be received by the receiver without answering operations until the individual call history is read and checked in detail. It was.
[0007]
The present invention solves such problems in the prior art, the call request status of the caller can be easily read from the incoming call history, and the information type received without a response operation It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile communication terminal that can be known without checking the history of incoming calls.

The antenna 12 radiates or receives radio waves in order to exchange data with a public base station (not shown) corresponding to the standby zone.
[ 0019 ]
An RF unit 14 is connected to the antenna 12. The RF unit 14 amplifies and frequency converts the signal received by the antenna 12 and outputs a demodulation signal to the baseband unit 16, and amplifies and frequency converts the audio modulation signal from the baseband unit 16. And a transmission circuit that outputs to the antenna 12.
[ 0020 ]
The baseband unit 16 is connected to the CPU 18 and the codec 28, and demodulates the RF signal received from the antenna 12 including the voice signal and the caller number under the control of the CPU 18. The baseband unit 16 also notifies the CPU 18 of the ID that is the identification number of the public base station received by the RF receiving circuit and the received electric field strength when the power is on.
[ 0021 ]
The codec 28 is a converter that converts a digital signal into an analog signal and an analog signal into a digital signal.
[ 0022 ]
That is, the codec 28 converts the digital audio signal input from the baseband unit 16 or the CPU 18 into an analog audio signal under the control of the CPU 18 and outputs the analog audio signal to the speaker (SP) 26 and the analog input from the microphone (MIC) 24. The audio signal is converted into a digital audio signal and output to the baseband unit 16.
[ 0023 ]
The CPU 18 is a control unit that performs overall control of the mobile communication terminal, and is coupled to a ROM 18a and a RAM 18b that are nonvolatile memories in which programs and the like are written. The RAM 18b temporarily stores various information including information on a base station selected as a base station at the time of standby.
[ 0024 ]
The CPU 18 has a display unit 20 for displaying a telephone number, a received electric field strength of a base station, a text message, and various keys such as an input key for inputting a telephone number and characters, a power key, and a calling key for performing a calling process. The configured key input unit 22 is connected.
[ 0025 ]
Further, information such as the telephone number of the calling party and the name corresponding to the telephone number is stored in the ROM 18a as a telephone book.
[ 0026 ]
A memory table for storing the incoming call history is stored in the RAM 18b.
[ 0027 ]
Data stored in the ROM 18a or the RAM 18b can be read out by operating the function key 30 or the key input unit 22 and displayed on the display unit 20.
[ 0028 ]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the number of ringing sounds and time at the time of an incoming call and a corresponding symbol mark (icon) in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
[ 0029 ]
In addition, a symbol mark determined corresponding to the information type is also shown. These marks are stored in advance in the ROM 18a.
[ 0030 ]
The marks 101 to 103 are called face marks, and different face marks are associated with each other depending on the calling time or the number of ringing sounds. In other words, the mark 101 is a face mark, which is defined for the elapsed time from the I incoming there up to 15 seconds (within the ringer 5 times). Similarly, the mark 102 is provided corresponding to a ringing time up to 30 seconds (within 6 to 10 ringing sounds), and the mark 103 is provided when the ringing time exceeds 31 seconds (with a ringing sound number of 11 or more). It is defined correspondingly. A mark 104 is a mark indicating that a character message transmission (P-mail) has been received. A mark 105 is a bell mail mark indicating that a mail is received by a DTMF signal (for example, from a pager). The mark 106 is a mark indicating that the answering message is recorded by the answering machine function. A mark 107 is a mark indicating that data has been received by data communication.
[ 0031 ]
As described above, the face marks 101 to 103 corresponding to the calling time or the number of ringing sounds and the marks 104 to 107 corresponding to the information types are respectively defined and stored in the ROM 18a.
[ 0032 ]
FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation of the PHS / mobile phone 10 shown in FIG.
[ 0033 ]
When there is an incoming call (step 200), a ringing tone sounds and the face mark 1 is displayed on the display unit 20 (step 201). The face mark 1 is displayed on the display unit 20 only for 15 seconds after the incoming call or when the number of ringing sounds is within 5 times. If there is a response operation within 15 seconds (step 202), the face mark 1 or The elapsed time until the response or the number of ringing sounds is stored and stored in a memory table in the RAM 18b (step 209). Thereafter, a normal response is made (step 210).
[ 0034 ]
Even if there is no response in step 202, if the calling party gives up and hangs up within 15 seconds when face mark 1 is displayed or the number of ringing sounds is within 5 (step 203), In 213, the face mark or the elapsed time until cutting or the number of ringing sounds is stored in the memory table. Then, a standby state is entered (step 214).
[ 0035 ]
If there is no response operation in step 202 and no disconnection operation from the caller in step 203, it is further determined whether or not a specified number of ringing sounds or time has elapsed (step 204).
[ 0036 ]
Here, for example, if the specified ringing time is set to 15 seconds or the number of ringing tones is 5, the face mark 2 is displayed on the display unit 20 when the ringing time is 15 seconds or the number of ringing tones exceeds 5. (Step 205). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a response operation has been performed (step 206). If there is a response operation, the face mark 2 or the elapsed time or the number of ringing sounds is stored in the memory table (step 211), and the process proceeds to a normal response (step). 212).
[ 0037 ]
If no response operation is performed in step 206, it is checked whether there is a disconnection operation from the caller side (step 207). If there is a caller disconnecting operation, the process proceeds to step 215, and the face mark 2 and the elapsed time or the number of ringing tones are stored in the memory table (step 215). Then, a standby state is entered (step 216).
[ 0038 ]
If there is no disconnection operation from the caller side, it is further determined whether or not a specified number of ringing sounds or time has elapsed (step 208). In this case, if the calling time is set to 30 seconds or the number of ringing sounds is within 10 times, the face mark 3 is displayed when the calling time exceeds 30 seconds or 10 times, and the same operation as described above is repeated. It is.
[ 0039 ]
Here, for example, if the facial mark is made so that the facial expression becomes moody as the ringing time elapses, the caller's call request status is read if the caller has been calling for a fairly long time. Can do.
[ 0040 ]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the incoming call history stored in the memory table. By reading the history 301 to 304 of the memory table using the function key 30 or the key input unit 22, the incoming call history can be easily confirmed. It is a feature of the present invention that the incoming call history includes a face mark corresponding to the calling time or the number of ringing sounds and a mark corresponding to the information type.
[ 0041 ]
The caller number is sent from the caller side by a caller notification call. The name corresponding to the caller number is read from the ROM 18a from the telephone directory function and displayed. The incoming date and time is read and recorded from the clock function. Further, an unread mark (*) is given when the caller is disconnected without performing a response operation. The incoming call history 301 indicates that the caller disconnected the call within 15 seconds after the call or within 5 ringing sounds. Therefore, it can be inferred from the face mark that the telephone was not so urgent. It should be noted that an unread mark (*) is not given when a response operation is performed within 15 seconds or 5 times.
[ 0042 ]
In the incoming call history 302, the face mark 3 is recorded. Therefore, it can be inferred that the call has been made for more than 31 seconds or 11 times or more, and that the other party wanted a phone with a very high degree of urgency or a phone with high importance.
[ 0043 ]
A history 303 indicates that an answering machine is recorded. Further, the history 304 can know that the disconnection has been performed after the ringing from 16 seconds to 30 seconds or the ringing sound within 6 to 10 times is sounded since the face mark 2 is displayed.
[ 0044 ]
In the above-described embodiment, a face mark corresponding to the elapsed time from the incoming call to the disconnection is defined, stored in the ROM, and displayed on the display unit or stored in the memory table according to the incoming call. In place of this face mark, instead of this face mark, the time taken from the incoming call to the answer is counted, and this is displayed and stored, and the number of ringing sounds is counted and displayed or stored. You may do it.
[ 0045 ]
When confirming the incoming call history, it is possible to search for the number of times of ringing, the time, or a mark corresponding thereto, information type or each mark corresponding thereto.
[ 0046 ]
In addition, when confirming the incoming call history, it is possible to determine the priority order to be displayed based on the number of times of ringing, the time, or a mark corresponding thereto. That is, it can also be displayed in the order of the number of ringing sounds. Furthermore, when there is an indication of character transmission (P mail, bell mail, etc.) from the type of incoming call stored in the incoming call history or a mark corresponding to the type, it is called to perform the outgoing operation, thereby performing character transmission. It is also possible to send a reply to the sender by character transmission.
[ 0047 ]
In addition, by expressing the time that the other party is calling or the number of ringing sounds with the corresponding mark display, there is an effect that the ringer sound at the time of incoming call that can be usually unpleasant can be made pleasant.
[ 0048 ]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail based on the embodiments of the present invention, in the present invention, the number, the time, or the mark changes depending on the ringing time or the number of ringing sounds at the time of the incoming call, so that the consciousness of performing the incoming call operation quickly. It becomes.
[0049]
In addition, or in the other party has made how much time call even when you did not answer the call is, in order to be readily seen from the incoming call history, Ru can be used to estimate the degree of urgency and importance degree of the other party.
