[0020]
In FIG. 1, a mobile terminal (mobile phone) 10 receives various communication services (voice communication, data communication, etc.) via a radio base station 20, an exchange 30 and a network NW. In the voice communication service, for example, the switching center 30 sets a call via the radio base station 20 between the mobile terminal 10 and another communication terminal connected to the network NW, and the mobile terminal 10 and the other communication Voice communication is performed with the terminal. In the data communication service, for example, information acquired by the information server 40 via the Internet is distributed to the mobile terminal 10 via the network NW, the switching center 30 and the radio base station 20.
[0021]
A service center 50 is installed in this network NW. The service center 50 manages users (subscribers) who use the mobile terminal 10 and provides a mail delivery service, a data storage service, etc. to the mobile terminal 10 via the network NW, the switching center 30, and the radio base station 20. provide.
[0022]
The mobile terminal 10 capable of voice communication and data communication is configured as shown in FIG. 2, for example.
[0023]
In FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 10 includes a transceiver 11, an audio processing unit 12, a signal processing unit 13, a control unit 14, a memory unit 15, and a display / operation unit 16. The transceiver 11 transmits and receives audio signals and data to and from the radio base station 20. The audio processing unit 12 processes the audio signal received by the transceiver 11 according to a predetermined algorithm (decoding process or the like). The audio signal processed by the audio processing unit 12 is supplied to the speaker 18 and is output from the speaker 18 as audio. The audio signal processing unit 12 processes an audio signal from the microphone 17 corresponding to the user's voice according to a predetermined algorithm (encoding processing or the like). The audio signal processed by the audio processing unit 12 is supplied to the transceiver 11 and is transmitted from the transceiver 11 to the radio base station 20.
[0024]
The signal processing unit 13 processes various data received by the transceiver 11 according to a procedure corresponding to the communication algorithm. Data processed by the signal processing unit 13 is supplied to the control unit 14. The memory unit 15 stores a management table as described later, together with a program to be executed by the control unit 14, various received data, and other necessary data. The display / operation unit 16 includes a display panel for displaying various information and an operation panel (such as a numeric keypad) for inputting various information.
[0025]
The control unit 14 controls each unit and displays information on the display panel of the display / operation unit 16 based on the data processed by the signal processing unit 13 or from the operation panel of the display / operation unit 16. Processing based on the operation signal is executed. When there is an incoming data communication during voice communication, the control unit 13 causes the transceiver 11 to transmit a predetermined control signal so that the data is accumulated in the service center 50. On the other hand, when there is an incoming voice communication during data communication, the control unit 13 controls each unit according to the contents of the management table stored in the memory unit 15.
[0026]
This management table is configured as shown in FIG. 3, for example. This management table describes processing (functions) to be performed when an incoming call notification of voice communication is made during data communication in correspondence with the type of data communication.
[0027]
In FIG. 3, during SSL communication, the function for switching to voice communication is turned off (OFF), the function for notifying the incoming voice call is turned on (ON), and the function for switching to a network service (for example, answering service) is turned off (OFF). ) Is set. Therefore, this management table indicates that when there is an incoming voice communication during SSL communication, the mobile terminal 10 only performs incoming call notification while continuing the SSL communication.
[0028]
In data communication while Java is running, the setting to turn off the voice communication function, turn off the voice call notification function, and turn on the network service function is set to ON. The Therefore, this management table indicates that if there is an incoming voice communication during data communication while Java is running, the management table is shifted to a network service (for example, an answering service) while continuing data communication while Java is running.
[0029]
In other data communications, settings are made such that the function for transitioning to voice communication is turned on (ON), the function for notifying incoming voice calls is turned off (OFF), and the function for transitioning to network services is turned off (OFF). Therefore, this management table indicates that if there is an incoming voice communication during another data communication, the data communication is interrupted (or stopped) and the voice communication is started.
[0030]
Each item of the management table stored in the memory unit 15 is set to a predetermined value (ON or OFF) as a default value. The value of each term can be rewritten by operating the operation panel of the display / operation unit 16. That is, the value of each item in the management table can be changed according to the user's preference.
[0031]
When there is an incoming voice call during data communication, the control unit 14 that performs processing according to the management table as described above executes processing according to the procedure shown in FIG. 4, for example.
[0032]
In FIG. 4, when a voice communication request (incoming call) is detected during data communication (S1), it is determined whether or not the current data communication is SSL communication (S2). If it is determined that the current data communication is SSL communication (YES in S2), the process at the time of incoming voice call is executed with reference to the item in SLL communication of the management table (see FIG. 3). (S3).
[0033]
In this voice incoming process, for example, control signals are transmitted and received between the mobile terminal 10 and the network NW side (switching station 30) according to the procedure shown in FIG.
[0034]
In FIG. 5, when the mobile terminal 10 receives an incoming voice call during data communication (SSL communication) (1), a voice incoming call notification response to notify the incoming call from the mobile terminal 10 according to the management table is received. 30 ((2)). When the switching center 30 receives a voice incoming notification response to the effect that the incoming call is notified from the mobile terminal 10, the switching center 30 transmits a predetermined guidance to the transmitting terminal of the voice communication and also receives a voice incoming call to the mobile terminal 10. A notification response confirmation is transmitted ((3)). When the mobile terminal 10 receives the voice incoming notification response confirmation from the network NW side within a predetermined time after transmitting the voice incoming notification response as described above, the mobile terminal 10 displays and operates the display / operation unit under the control of the control unit 14. For example, an incoming call notification message such as “incoming call time: minute” is displayed on the 16 display panels. Then, the data communication (SSL communication) is continued.
[0035]
Returning to FIG. 4, when the current data communication is not SSL communication when the voice communication is received (NO in S2), it is further determined whether or not the current data communication is data communication during Java activation. (S4). If it is determined that the current data communication is data communication during Java activation (YES in S4), the processing at the time of incoming voice call is referred to by referring to the term of Java activation in the management table (see FIG. 3). Is executed (S5).
[0036]
In this process upon receiving a voice call, for example, control signals are transmitted and received between the mobile terminal 10 and the network NW side (switching station 30) according to the procedure shown in FIG.
[0037]
In FIG. 6, when the mobile terminal 10 receives a voice call during data communication (during data communication when Java is running) (1), a voice call notification response indicating that the mobile terminal 10 receives a network service according to the management table. Is transmitted to the exchange 30 ((2)). When the exchange 30 receives a voice incoming notification response to receive this network service from the mobile terminal 10, it transmits a predetermined guidance to the transmitting terminal of the voice communication. Then, when a voice message is transmitted from the transmitting terminal according to the guidance, the exchange 30 records the voice message in the recording area for the mobile terminal 10.
[0038]
Thereafter, the switching center 30 transmits to the mobile terminal 10 a voice incoming notification response confirmation to which information indicating that the voice message from the transmitting terminal has been recorded is added ((3)). When the mobile terminal 10 receives the voice incoming notification response confirmation from the network NW side within a predetermined time after transmitting the voice incoming notification response as described above, the mobile terminal 10 displays and operates the display / operation unit under the control of the control unit 14. For example, a recording message notification message such as “record message exists” is displayed on the 16 display panels. The data communication (data communication during Java startup) is continued.
[0039]
Further, if the current data communication is not data communication during Java startup (NO in S4), the processing at the time of voice incoming is executed with reference to the other data communication items in the management table (see FIG. 3). (S6).
[0040]
In this voice incoming process, for example, control signals are transmitted and received between the mobile terminal 10 and the network NW side (switching station 30) according to the procedure shown in FIG.
[0041]
In FIG. 7, when the mobile terminal 10 receives a voice call during data communication (other data communication) (1), the mobile terminal 10 first shifts to the voice communication in accordance with the management table. As a response to the incoming voice call, an incoming radio status report indicating information such as the reception level of the radio wave in the own zone, the reception level of the radio wave from the surrounding zone, and the capability of the mobile terminal 10 is transmitted to the exchange 30 on the network NW side. (▲ 2 ▼). The switching center 30 that has received this incoming radio status report further transmits a reception level measurement request (level measurement request) to the mobile terminal 10 (3), and the mobile terminal 10 that has received this level measurement request receives the level measurement request. A measurement response is transmitted to the exchange 30 ((4)). When receiving the measurement result of the reception level, the switching center 30 notifies the mobile terminal 10 of the radio channel determined according to the reception level (radio channel designation: (5)).
[0042]
When receiving the designation of the radio channel, the mobile terminal 10 interrupts (or stops) the data communication that is currently being performed, and starts voice communication (call) using the designated radio channel.
[0043]
In the above example, the management table stores information related to processing to be executed when a voice call is received during data communication for each type of data communication (for example, SSL communication, communication during Java activation, or other communication). Is set. Then, when a voice call is actually received during data communication, processing determined by the information set in the management table is executed. For this reason, when there is an incoming voice call during data communication, processing suitable for the type of data communication (processing for giving priority to voice communication, processing for giving priority to data communication, etc.) can be executed. it can.
[0044]
For example, when an incoming voice call is made during highly secure SSL communication in which security is ensured, the SSL communication is continued and an incoming call notification is displayed on the display panel. After the end of the SSL communication, the user can specify a partner corresponding to the incoming call notification from the incoming call history, and can make a call to the other party from the mobile terminal 10.
[0045]
For example, when a voice call is received during data communication for starting Java and receiving a large amount of data such as a program, the data communication is continued. As for the voice communication related to the incoming call, a message is recorded by a network service (for example, an answering machine service) in the exchange 30.
[0046]
Furthermore, for example, when a voice call is received during other data communication, the data communication is interrupted (or canceled) with emphasis on the real-time property of the voice communication, and the voice communication related to the incoming call is started. .
[0047]
In the above-described example, the answering machine service has been described as an example of the network service.
[0048]
In the above example, the management table shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to the management means, the control unit 14 that executes processing according to the procedure shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to 7 corresponds to the control means, and the display / operation unit 16 is the information. Corresponds to setting means.
[0049]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention of claims 1 to 6, when a voice call is received during data communication, the process managed as the process to be performed for the data communication is performed. As a result, it is possible to provide a mobile terminal that can perform different processing depending on the type of data communication when a voice call is received during data communication.
