  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a block configuration of a mobile phone (device) 1 as a communication device according to the best mode for carrying out the present invention.

  In the figure, a CPU 2 (central processing unit) controls the entire apparatus, and its execution program is stored in a ROM (read only memory) 3. The CPU 2 reads the execution program from the ROM 3 and executes the execution program. Are sequentially interpreted to control the entire apparatus.

  The ROM 3 may be a rewritable semiconductor memory such as FROM. A RAM (Random Access Memory) 4 forms a work area necessary for the control, and stores storage parameters and various parameters and management information necessary for the control.

  The operation input / display unit 5 includes a display for displaying various operation keys, operation guidance, and the like, and is for an operator to operate the apparatus. The call unit 6 includes a speaker unit 6b that outputs sound, a microphone unit 6c that inputs sound, and a call circuit 6a.

  The call circuit 6a sends the audio signal input from the microphone unit 6c to the communication unit, and outputs the audio signal input from the communication unit to the speaker unit 6b and the like. In addition, a circuit that adjusts the volume by amplifying or attenuating the audio signal or improving the sound quality by changing the frequency characteristics of the audio signal is generally included in the call circuit 6a. It is. In general, the call circuit 6a also performs so-called sidetone control for controlling the sound wraparound from the microphone unit 6c to the speaker unit 6b.

  The large-capacity storage means 7 is for storing relatively large data such as music information files (MIDI, MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF, etc.) and various setting files. Since a large-capacity storage area is required, a medium such as a hard disk is applied. However, recently, a large-capacity semiconductor memory is also widespread, and may be applied. When using a hard disk, in order to prevent sound skipping due to vibration or shock, music information is once transferred to the semiconductor memory, and then the music information stored in the semiconductor memory is reproduced by the music information reproducing means 13 (described later). It is also possible to provide skip protection means. Of course, this does not apply when using a hard disk that supports vibration and shock. The mass storage means 7 can also be used as an external storage device of a PC (personal computer), for example. At this time, in order to protect each other's data, data for operation of the mobile phone 1 such as a music information file and data stored as an external storage device for the PC may be stored in separate storage areas. Good. In this case, a general-purpose interface such as FireWire or USB can be provided in the own device (mobile phone 1) as an I / F with the PC.

  The photographing means 8 converts a photographing object into image data, and specifically, a CCD or the like that is an image sensor is used. The CCD receives a light signal from a subject by a light receiving element, converts it into an analog electric signal, and outputs it. The image processing means 9 receives an analog electric signal output from the CCD (photographing means 8) and A / D converts it to obtain digital image data. The image processing means 9 further performs image processing (density conversion, filtering, optimization processing, enlargement / reduction, compression / decompression, etc.) on the digital image data. Image-processed image data is stored in the RAM 4 as memory means.

  The image display means 10 displays the image data processed by the image processing means 9 on an image display means on a liquid crystal screen (which may be a plasma display panel or a CRT). Note that the “display unit” of the operation input / display unit 5 can also be used as the image display means 10. The TV receiving means 11 includes a TV antenna, a detection unit, and a tuner unit, receives TV broadcast radio waves, and outputs a TV image signal. The TV image signal is input to the image processing circuit 9, and after performing predetermined image processing, it is stored in the frame memory 12, and the image data stored in the frame memory 12 is output to the image display means 10 to display the TV image. Is done. By storing the image data stored in the frame memory 12 in a predetermined storage medium, the TV image can be handled in the same manner as the image information acquired by the photographing unit 8.

  The music information reproduction means 13 decodes music data encoded in those formats included in a music information file in a format such as MIDI, MP3, AAC, WAV, etc., and reproduces the original music data. The reproduced music data can be converted into an analog signal and audibly output from the speaker unit 6b of the own device. As will be described later, the reproduced music data is transmitted to the partner device together with the voice information collected by the microphone unit 6c. It can be sent out and audibly output together with audio information on the partner device side so that the partner user can hear it.

  The music information downloading means 14 is an external medium storing music information files, specifically, wireless communication means 18, wireless I / F means 17, external I / F means 15, memory card I / F means 16, etc. For receiving music information files from a server device (a storage device built in), a storage device, various memory cards, etc. that can be accessed via the network, transferring them to the large-capacity storage unit 7, etc. is there.

  The external I / F unit 15 is connected to an external device such as a PC using a wire such as a cable, and transmits and receives data and the like. The memory card I / F means 16 is connected to a device equipped with a storage medium such as an IC card, a memory card, a memory unit, etc., and transmits and receives data. The wireless I / F unit 17 transmits and receives data using wireless, and includes Bluetooth, infrared communication, wireless LAN communication, and the like.

  The wireless communication means 18 wirelessly transmits and receives voice signals to and from the network side base station. In the best mode for carrying out the present invention, the communication device according to the present invention is applied to the mobile phone 1 that performs a telephone call (voice communication) with a base station using radio waves. The communication apparatus according to the present invention is also applicable to a fixed telephone apparatus that communicates with a switching center by wire.

  Needless to say, the mobile phone 1 as the communication apparatus according to the present invention does not need to have all the above-described configurations, and may have at least the configurations necessary for carrying out the invention.

  FIG. 2 shows a part of the internal configuration of the call circuit of the mobile phone 1.

  FIG. 2 shows the audio information from the microphone 6c that sends the music information from the music information reproducing means 13 to the partner device in the internal configuration of the call circuit 6a constituting the call unit 6 of the mobile phone 1 in FIG. And a configuration for synthesizing music information with audio information such as received audio information that is audibly output by the speaker unit 6b.

  In the figure, the audio information input from the microphone unit 6 c is input to the amplifier 60, amplified by an amplification factor corresponding to the volume setting from the CPU 2, and then input to the mixer (addition amplifier) 64.

  On the other hand, the music information read out from the large-capacity storage unit 7 by the music information reproducing means 13 and decoded / expanded is input to the D / A converter 61, converted into an analog signal, and input to the equalizer 62. The equalizer 62 performs signal processing according to the sound quality setting from the CPU 2, and the signal output from the equalizer 62 is input to the volume controller (amplifier) 63. In the volume adjuster 63, the signal is amplified at an amplification factor according to the volume setting from the CPU 2 and then input to the switching circuit 65.

  The switching circuit 65 switches and inputs the output signal from the volume adjuster 63 to the mixer 64 or the mixer 68 in accordance with the switching signal from the CPU 2.

  Also, voice information such as a received voice input via the system bus 20 is input to the D / A converter 66, converted into an analog signal, and input to the amplifier 67. In the amplifier 67, the signal is amplified at an amplification factor according to the volume setting from the CPU 2 and then input to the mixer (addition amplifier) 68.

  Music information output from the mixer 64 and added to the audio information related to the call from the microphone unit 6c (may not be added depending on the setting of the switching circuit 65) is a sound signal to be sent to the partner apparatus. That is, the music information is sent to the partner apparatus together with the voice information. In this case, the music information is adjusted to the sound quality / volume according to the setting from the CPU 2 and transmitted.

  The music information added from the mixer 68 to the voice information such as the received voice (may not be added depending on the setting of the switching circuit 65) is a sound signal that is audibly output from the speaker 6b.

  With the circuit configuration of FIG. 2, the music information is sent to the partner apparatus together with the voice information from the microphone section 6c or audible from the speaker section 6b of the own apparatus together with the received voice information according to the setting from the CPU 2. It will be lost. Of course, when there is no audio information such as received sound information input to the D / A converter 66, only the music information is audibly output from the speaker unit 6b. Needless to say, the audible output of the sound information including the music information is not limited to the output by the speaker unit 6b, and an earphone output is also possible.

  When voice information is exchanged with the counterpart device using a digital signal, the sound quality and volume of the music information can be adjusted by a digital filter circuit and synthesized with the voice information from the microphone unit 6c. Can also be performed by digital addition. In short, the present invention is based on whether the audio information exchanged with the partner device and the music information sent to the partner device together with the voice information are analog signals or digital signals, and depending on the signal and data format. It is not limited.

  In FIG. 2, the volume adjustment may be performed after the mixers 64 and 68, but as shown in FIG. 2, the volume adjustment of the music information is performed for the audio information related to transmission and the audio information related to reception. When performed separately, there is an advantage that the ratio of the volume of the audio signal of the transmission / reception and the music signal can be changed (the same applies to the equalizer 62).

  FIG. 3 shows the contents stored in the large-capacity storage means 7 of the mobile phone 1 of FIG.

  In the figure, a music information storage folder (directory) 7a contains one or more pieces of music information, that is, one or more groups of music information files for one song.

  As shown in FIG. 4, each music information file included in the folder 7a includes “file name (song name)”, “additional information”, and “music data main body” for mutually identifying each file in the folder 7a. It is comprised by. The “additional information” includes “songwriter name”, “composer name”, “singer name”, “performance time”, “file type”, “data amount” of file, “copyright flag” Etc. can be included. The “copyright flag” indicates that the value “0” indicates that the music information file can be freely copied and distributed without “copyright”, and the value “1” This indicates that the music information file is “copyrighted” and is prohibited from being copied and distributed without permission.

  As a usage form of the “copyright flag” information added to the music information file, the “copyrighted” music information file can be transmitted to the other device or copied to a memory card as a result. This can be used to prevent the original music information file from being copied. Even if the receiving side device sends a music information file whose copyright flag is 1, that is, “with copyright”, the receiving side device rejects or receives the information itself. However, it may be processed so as to respect the rights of the copyright holder of the music information file without being played back or stored in the memory. For a music information file whose copyright flag is 0, that is, “no copyright”, results such as transmission to the other device, reception / playback / storage from the other device, copying to the memory card in the own device, etc. In particular, the process of copying the original music information file can be performed without restriction.

  The large-capacity storage means 7 stores a playlist setting file 7b and a telephone directory information setting file (both will be described later in detail).

  In addition, a music playback start condition setting flag Fs is set and stored in advance in the storage area 7d of the large-capacity storage means 7. The flag Fs indicates that the value “0” is “automatic reproduction”, that is, when a call (voice communication) with the partner apparatus is started, an operation of sending the reproduced music information together with the partner apparatus is automatically started. When the value “1” is “manual playback”, that is, when a call (voice communication) with the partner apparatus is performed, the operation of sending the reproduced music information to the partner apparatus is started only when the user performs an instruction operation. (Details will be described later).

  In addition, in the storage area 7e of the large-capacity storage means 7, an unregistered / non-notified partner music information reproduction condition setting flag Fm is set and stored in advance. The flag Fm is not registered in the phone book, in which the value “0” is “does not play”, that is, it is not indirect designation with reference to the phone book information setting file, but the other party's phone number is directly entered with the numeric keypad (usually Does not notify the destination identification information (telephone number, etc.) of the own device (the partner device) when making a call (voice communication) to the other party (which is not the other party) This means that during a call (voice communication) related to an incoming call from a partner device that is not usually a call partner, music information is reproduced and sent to the partner device together with the voice information. “1” indicates that such a destination is “reproduced with standard settings” (details will be described later).

Previously set in the storage area 7f, its own device setting ring tone data file name (in this case "Song001") is ringing to regardless of the destination when there is Oite incoming call to a conventional landline device and mobile phone device It corresponds to the same ringtone. As the file name, one of the files (names) stored in the music information storage folder 7a is set.

  The ring tone selection condition setting flag Ft preset in the storage area 7g has a value “0” valid only for the ring tone set by the own device in the storage area 7f. "(Details will be described later).

  The storage area 7h is a folder for recording image information, and is used to collectively store image information files that the mobile phone 1 stores in association with device operation.

  The storage area 7i is for an incoming call history information storage unit as a history means (details will be described later).

  FIG. 5 shows a specific configuration of the telephone directory information setting file in the storage area 7c of FIG. The telephone directory information setting file 7c in FIG. 5 is characterized in that it includes registration contents related to incoming calls. The file 7c corresponds to a telephone directory means.

It is configured by associating respective fields of “destination name character string”, “ringtone reproduction condition setting flag Fp”, “ringtone data transmission state flag Fsend”, “transmission data file”, and “reception data file”.

  “Destination terminal identification information” is identification information such as a telephone number, a terminal number, an ID number, a machine number, a mobile station number, a mail address, a URL, and a URI assigned to a communication partner apparatus. “Destination terminal identification information” may include alphabets and symbols depending on the form of terminal identification information assigned to the terminal by the network operator. However, in the following explanation, it is assumed that the terminal identification information is mainly a telephone number. explain. However, the telephone number is merely an example of the terminal identification information, and it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited by the form of the terminal identification information.

  By notifying the terminal side of the “terminal identification information” of the partner device, the mobile phone 1 can make a call (voice communication) to the desired partner device, and from the partner device receiving the call, It is possible to receive notification of the “terminal identification information” of the device (when “non notification” is not set on the partner device side).

  The “destination name character string” is a character string attached so that the user can easily recognize the other party specified by the corresponding “terminal identification information”.

  The “ringtone reproduction condition setting flag Fp” is a value for setting a reproduction condition for a ringtone that is audibly output when a call is received from a partner apparatus whose value “0” is specified by the corresponding “partner terminal identification information”. , The value “0” indicates that only the own device set ringtone data in the storage area 7f of FIG. 3 is valid, and the value “1” has priority on the received ringtone data (music information) from the calling side. It is shown that.

  The “ringtone data transmission status flag Fsend” indicates whether or not the ringtone data (music information) (of the transmission data file) has been transmitted to the partner device specified by the corresponding “partner terminal identification information”. The value “0” indicates that it has not been transmitted, and the value “1” indicates that it has been transmitted. The flag Fsend is reset to 0 (untransmitted) when there is a change in registration of the corresponding ringtone data file (out of the transmission data file).

  The “transmission data file” is a data file that can be transmitted in correspondence with the partner apparatus specified by the corresponding “partner terminal identification information”, and includes “ring tone data file (name)” and “ring image data”. Two types of files, “file (name)” are registered. Each type of file can be registered as 0, 1, or a plurality. The “incoming image” is an image (file) displayed on the display at the called side device when an incoming call is received from the calling side device.

  The “received data file” is a data file received from the counterpart device specified by the corresponding “destination terminal identification information”, and includes a “ringtone data file (name)”, “ring image data file (eye)”, and These two types of files are registered. Each type of file is registered with 0, 1, or a plurality according to the reception status from the counterpart device.

  The main body of the “ringtone data (music information) file” registered as “transmission data file” and “reception data file” is stored in the music information storage folder 7a of FIG. The main body of the file is stored in the image information storage folder 7h of FIG.

It is configured by associating fields of “date and time” and “reception data file”.

  “Destination terminal identification information” has the same definition as that in the telephone directory information setting file 7c of FIG. 5, and information notified from the calling side device at the time of incoming call is registered.

  The “incoming date and time” is the date and time that the cellular phone 1 has timed when an incoming call is received from the other party specified by the corresponding “terminal identification information”.

  The “received data file” is a data file received from the counterpart device specified by the corresponding “destination terminal identification information”, and includes a “ringtone data file (name)”, “ring image data file (eye)”, and These two types of files are registered. Each type of file is registered with 0, 1, or a plurality according to the reception status from the counterpart device. The main body of the “ringtone data (music information) file” registered as the “reception data file” is stored in the music information storage folder 7a in FIG. 3, and the “ring image” file is stored in FIG. Are stored in the image information storage folder 7h.

  FIG. 7 shows the stored contents of the communication data buffer secured in the storage area 4a of the RAM 4 of the mobile phone 1.

  In the figure, a communication data buffer 4a is for temporarily buffering and storing data acquired for voice communication related to each incoming call that the mobile phone 1 makes with a partner device. The “partner terminal identification information” notified from the partner device on the side and the “ringtone data file (substance)” that is not the file name of the ringtone data file transmitted from the partner device on the calling side, or / And the received image data file (substance).

  FIG. 8 shows an outgoing connection and disconnection sequence between the outgoing-side mobile phone and the network-side base station, which is applied when the mobile phone 1 makes a voice communication by calling the counterpart device.

  After the off-hook and dialing, the originating terminal transmits a call setup signal “SETUP” and an outgoing radio state report signal to the base station (phase F0), and receives a call setup acceptance signal “CALL PROC” from the base station ( Phase F1). After performing the authentication procedure (phase F2), the base station transmits a radio channel designation signal (phase F3). The originating terminal captures the designated channel and sets up the radio line. Next, a call signal “ALERT” is received from the base station (phase F4), and a ringing tone (RBT) is sent to the handset of the terminal itself. When there is a response on the called side, a response signal “CONN” is transmitted from the base station to the terminal device on the calling side (phase F5), charging starts from here, and a call starts (phase F6). When the communication is completed and the disconnection signal “DISC” is transmitted from the originating terminal device to the base station (phase F7), the base station transmits the release signal “REL” to the originating terminal device (phase F8). Billing ends here. Subsequently, the originating terminal device transmits a release completion signal “REL COMP” to the base station (phase F9), and receives a radio channel disconnection signal from the base station (phase F10). Finally, the transmitting terminal device releases the wireless channel used for communication and disconnects the wireless line (phase F11).

  FIG. 9 shows an incoming connection and disconnection sequence between the incoming-side mobile phone and the network-side base station, which is applied when the mobile phone 1 performs voice communication in response to an incoming call from the partner device.

  When receiving the calling signal from the base station (phase F20), the terminal device on the receiving side transmits an incoming radio state report signal and automatically transmits a response signal to the base station (phase F21). Then, after authentication in a predetermined authentication procedure (phase F22), the base station transmits a radio channel designation signal to the terminal device on the receiving side and sets up a radio line (phase F23). After the wireless line is set up, a call setup signal “SETUP” is transmitted from the base station to the terminal device on the receiving side (phase F24), and the terminal device on the receiving side generates a ringing tone (RGT) and then calls the base station. Signal "ALERT" is transmitted (phase F25). The response signal “CONN” is transmitted to the base station by the off-hook of the terminal device on the receiving side (phase F26), and the base station transmits the response confirmation signal “CONN ACK” to the terminal device on the receiving side (phase F27). Then, communication (call) is started (phase F28), and charging starts. When communication is finished and the disconnection signal “DISC” is transmitted from the terminal device on the receiving side to the base station (phase F29), the base station transmits a release signal “REL” to the terminal device on the receiving side (phase F30). Billing ends here. Subsequently, the terminal device on the receiving side transmits a release completion signal “REL COMP” to the base station (phase F31), and receives a radio channel disconnection signal from the base station (phase F32). Finally, the terminal device on the receiving side releases the wireless channel used for communication and disconnects the wireless line (phase F33).

Describes the type sequence.

  First, a call signal is transmitted from the base station to the terminal side (phase F60). Next, the terminal transmits a communication registration request signal to the base station (phase F61). The base station transmits a communication authentication request signal to the terminal in order to request authentication (phase F62). The terminal side transmits a communication authentication response signal to the base station (phase F63), and if the authentication is established, the base station side transmits a communication registration response signal to the terminal side (phase F64). The base station transmits a virtual line connection request signal to the terminal side in order to request line connection (phase F65), and the terminal side transmits a virtual line connection response signal to the base station side (phase F66). A communication line is virtually secured. The base station transmits an incoming call notification signal to the terminal side (phase F67), and the terminal side transmits an Ack signal to the base station side as a response (phase F68. The terminal side sends a Get signal to request data. Transmit to the base station side (phase F69) The base station side transmits an Ack signal as a response signal to the terminal side (phase F70) The base station transmits a response signal including the requested data to the terminal side (Phase F71) The terminal side transmits an Ack signal as a response signal to the Response signal to the base station side (Phase F72) .Hereafter, Phases F69 to F72 are repeated as necessary to acquire data on the terminal side. .

  In addition, the terminal identification information (phone number, terminal number, ID number, machine number, mobile station number, mail address, URL, URI, etc.) and service identification information (phone number, Email address, URL, phone call, email, Internet access, data transmission, data reception, data download, etc.). Furthermore, a plurality of terminal identification information and service identification information of the own device or the partner device are stored (stored in the storage means of the own device), and a specific service is identified by selecting and using them. It is possible to enjoy various services such as using the information and charging the selected terminal identification information.

  FIG. 12 shows an incoming / outgoing call control processing procedure in the mobile phone 1. Note that the incoming / outgoing call control processing procedure of FIG. 12 has the configuration according to the present invention, and is executed in a plurality of mobile phones 1 which are both a calling side device and a called side device depending on the situation.

  In the figure, the mobile phone 1 displays “partner terminal identification information” and / or “partner name character string” in the registered contents of the telephone directory information setting file 7 c in FIG. A specific destination is specified from the list, or the destination is specified by specifying the destination by directly entering the destination terminal identification information using a numeric keypad (not shown). The presence / absence of a call destination designation operation is confirmed (step S101). If there is no designation (No in determination S102), it is determined whether there is an incoming call (determination S103). If there is no incoming call (No in determination S103), the process returns to step S101.

  If it is determined in S102 that the other party has been designated (Judgment S102), the system further waits for a call permission operation input (No loop in Decision S104), and performs a permission operation (in S104). Yes), the ring tone data corresponding to the designated destination is specified (step S105).

  In the process S105, the ring tone data file is specified when the destination is designated by direct input, the ring tone data to be transmitted corresponding to the unregistered phone book information setting file 7c in FIG. 5 is not registered. Therefore, the own device set ringtone data file set in the storage area 7f of FIG. 3 is selected.

  When the destination is indirectly specified by selection from the phone book, the call is sent to the destination registered in the phone book information setting file 7c in FIG. Since this is a call, the “ringtone data file” of the “transmission data file” set correspondingly in the telephone directory information setting file 7c is selected. In this case, the “image data file” of the corresponding “transmission data file” is also selected. Corresponding to the case where the other party is designated by direct input, the own apparatus setting ring image data file to be paired with the own apparatus setting ringtone data file is set in advance, and the other party is designated by direct input. In this case, it is also possible to select the set-device image data file that has been set as the received image to be transmitted.

  In addition, in the telephone directory information setting file 7c, if the “ringtone data file” or “ringed image data file” for transmission corresponding to the destination designated as the call destination is not registered, it should be transmitted. Select nothing as a file. Also, when the corresponding “ringtone data transmission state flag Fsend” is the value “1” (sent), nothing is selected as a file to be transmitted. In other words, the same “ringtone data file” is transmitted only once to the same call partner, and redundant transmission is not wasted.

  In addition, when the “ringtone data file” and “ringed image data file” for transmission corresponding to the destination specified as the call destination in the telephone directory information setting file 7c are not registered, the own information is used instead. By selecting the device setting ring tone data file or the self device setting ring image data file, the ring tone data or the ring image data from the self device as the calling side device is surely transmitted to the calling party. It is also possible to do so.

  Then, the ring tone data file specified in step S105 is read from the music information storage folder 7a and set as additional data of the call setup message SETUP in phase F0 in the outgoing connection sequence of FIG. (Processing S106). In this case, the same applies to the received image data file, which is read from the image information storage folder 7h and set as additional data.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the call destination designation is indirect designation by selection from the telephone book (decision S107). If it is selection from the telephone book (Yes in judgment S107), the telephone shown in FIG. The corresponding “ringtone data transmission state flag Fsend” is set to 1 in the book information setting file 7c. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the same “ringing tone data file” from being repeatedly transmitted to the same calling party next time. Similar flag management can be performed for the “image data file”. If it is a selection by direct input (No in S107), or after the process S108, the process proceeds to a series of processes of call connection, voice communication, and call disconnection by executing the outgoing connection sequence of FIG. Performs voice communication with the called party device (called device). At that time, the terminal identification information of the own apparatus (partner terminal identification information for the called side apparatus) set in step S106, the actual data of the ring tone data file, the incoming data, by the SETUP message transmitted in the phase F0 of FIG. The actual data of the image data file is transmitted to the called device by the SETUP message in phase F24 of FIG. The operation corresponds to music information transmission means and terminal identification information notification means.

  On the other hand, if there is an incoming call in decision S103 (Yes in decision S103), the incoming connection sequence in FIG. 9 is started and the SETUP message in phase F24 is received (processing S110). The SETUP message includes the terminal identification information of the called side device, the actual data of the ring tone data file, and the actual data of the incoming image data file set in step S106 in the calling side device. And data are also received. The operation corresponds to music information receiving means and counterpart terminal identification information receiving means.

  Data included in the SETUP message is stored in the communication data buffer 4a of FIG. 7 (processing S111). Then, the contents of the communication data buffer 4a are confirmed (step S112), and the current date and time counted by the time counting circuit (not shown) of the own device at the time of incoming is obtained as the incoming date and time. Is generated (process S113), and is additionally stored in the incoming call history information storage unit 7i of FIG. 6 (process S114). In that case, the actual data of the received ringtone data file and the actual data of the ringtone image data file are respectively stored in the music information storage folder 7a and the image information storage folder 7h of FIG. Registered in the information storage unit 7i.

  Then, after the ring tone reproduction control process is started (process S115), the process proceeds to the subsequent sequence of the incoming call connection sequence of FIG. 9, and the process proceeds to a series of processes of incoming call response, voice communication, and call disconnection. Performs voice communication with the call partner device.

  13 to 15 show a specific processing procedure of the ringtone reproduction control process activated in S115.

  First, in FIG. 13, the contents of the communication data buffer 4a in FIG. 7 are confirmed (processing S201), and it is determined whether the terminal identification information is notified from the calling party device (determination S202). (No in S202), the device setting ring tone data file set in the storage area 7f in FIG. 3 is specified as a reproduction target file (S208), and the process proceeds to S222 in FIG. As a result, there is no notification of terminal identification information (no notification is made), and an incoming call from a calling counterpart device that is not familiar as a communication partner for the user of the own device is set as a safe ringtone in the own device. You can audibly output the default ones. Of course, even if there is no notification of terminal identification information, when a ring tone data file is transmitted, the ring tone data file can be set as a reproduction target file.

  In the determination S202, when there is a notification of the terminal identification information from the calling party device (Yes in the determination S202), the notified terminal identification information is displayed in the telephone book information setting file 7c in FIG. It is determined whether it is registered as “terminal identification information” (determination S203). If it is not registered (No at S203), the file of the own device set ringtone data set in the storage area 7f of FIG. 3 is specified as a file to be played (process S208), and FIG. The process proceeds to S222. As a result, even if the terminal identification information is notified, the received terminal identification information is not registered in the phone book of the own device, and is received from the calling party device that is not familiar to the user of the own device as the communication partner. As for a call, a predetermined sound set as the ring tone can be audibly output.

  If it is registered in the determination S203 (Yes in the determination S203), the value of the ring tone selection condition setting flag Ft preset in the storage area 7g in FIG. ”(Only the setting of the own device) (Yes in determination S205), the file of the own device setting ring tone data set in the storage area 7f of FIG. 3 is specified as the reproduction target file (processing S208). Then, the process proceeds to step S222 in FIG. Thus, depending on the location desired by the user of the own device, it is possible to deal with only the default ring tone set by the own device regardless of the called party.

  In the determination S205, if the value is “1” (due to the phone book setting) (Yes in the determination S205), the ring tone reproduction condition corresponding to the notified terminal identification information in the telephone directory setting file 7c of FIG. It is determined whether the value of the setting flag Fp is 0 (determination S207). If it is 0 (Yes in determination S207), the file of the own device set ringtone data set in the storage area 7f of FIG. (Step S208), the process proceeds to step S222 in FIG. As a result, it is possible to respond to the user's request to respond to the incoming call from the call destination device specified by the notified terminal identification information with the default ring tone set in the own device.

  When the value is 1 (priority of received ringtone data from the calling side) in the determination S207 (Yes in the determination S207), the process proceeds to the processing S209 in FIG. 14 to determine whether the ringing tone data is received from the calling side, That is, it is confirmed whether or not the incoming call tone data received from the calling side is stored in the communication data buffer 4a of FIG. 7 (processing S209), and if not received (stored) (No in determination S210). In the telephone directory, the presence / absence of registration of the received ringtone data corresponding to the notified terminal identification information is confirmed (processing S211). If it is not registered (No in judgment S212), the storage area 7f in FIG. 15 is specified as a reproduction target file (process S213), and the process proceeds to process S222 in FIG. As a result, for the incoming call from the calling party device that has not transmitted the ring tone data in the current call and has never transmitted the ring tone data in the past, It is possible to respond with a ring tone.

  If it is registered in the determination S212 (Yes in the determination S212), the corresponding received ringtone data is specified as the reproduction target file in the telephone length information setting file 7c in FIG. 7 (process S214), and then FIG. The process proceeds to S222. As a result, the ring tone data is not transmitted in this incoming call, but the incoming call from the calling party device that has transmitted the ring tone data in the past corresponds to the telephone directory. It is possible to cope with the ringtone data transmitted in the past registered in the past. In that case, when viewed from the calling side, even if the same ringtone data (the music information file to be) is not repeatedly transmitted to the same destination at the time of each call, the user on the calling side can call the calling party. The ring tone data desired to be reproduced in the destination device (called device) can be reproduced in the called device. This corresponds to setting the flag Fsend to 1 in the process S108 of FIG.

  If the ring tone data is received from the calling side in decision S210 (Yes in decision S210), the telephone directory is checked for the presence or absence of registration of the received ring tone data corresponding to the notified terminal identification information ( (Processing S215) If not registered (No in S216), the received ringtone data stored in the communication data buffer 4a of FIG. 7 is specified as a file to be played (Processing S217), and FIG. The process proceeds to S222. As a result, for the incoming call from the calling party device that has newly transmitted the ring tone data in this incoming call, it can be handled by the received incoming call tone data received and temporarily stored in the buffer. It becomes possible.

When it is registered in the determination S216 (Yes in the determination S216),
In the telephone directory, the received ringtone data (music information file) already registered corresponding to the notified terminal identification information, and the currently received ringtone data (music information file) stored in the buffer 4a. Is determined (S218). In this case, the identity can be determined by collating the file name, file format, data amount, composer name, songwriter name, etc. (see FIG. 4).

  If the result of the identity determination in step S218 is not “identical” (No in determination S219), the received ringtone data stored in the communication data buffer 4a in FIG. Processing S217), the process proceeds to processing S222 in FIG. As a result, regarding the incoming call from the calling party device that has newly transmitted the ring tone data in the current incoming call, it is different from the ringtone data received in the past correspondingly registered in the telephone directory. Since the ringing tone data specified for the called party's own device has been changed on the calling side on the calling side, it can be handled by the received ringing tone data received and temporarily stored in the buffer. This makes it possible to reflect the intention of the calling user.

  In the case of “same” in the decision 219, after specifying either one of the incoming ringtone data registered in the telephone directory or stored in the buffer 4a as a file to be reproduced. (Process S217), the process proceeds to S222 in FIG. As a result, with respect to the incoming call from the calling party device that has transmitted the same ring tone data that has been transmitted in the past for this incoming call, the received incoming call tone that is received and temporarily stored in the buffer is received. It is possible to cope with data registered in correspondence with data or a telephone directory.

In the process S222 of FIG. 15, the specified music information file to be played is started to be played as ringtone data (process S222). That is, the switching circuit of FIG. 2 is switched to the mixer 68 side so that the music information is audibly output from the speaker unit 6b, and then the music information playback means 13 is instructed to start playback of the music information file to be played back. .
As a result, the content of the music information file to be played is audibly output from the speaker unit 6b as a ringtone. At that time, since the voice information related to the reception is not input to the D / A converter 66, only the music information as the ringtone is audibly output from the speaker unit 6b.

  If the ringing tone audibly output from the called side device is based on the incoming tone data received from the calling side, the user of the calling side device plays it back on the called side device, and It can be used as a means for giving a special thought to the user of the side device. In other words, the calling party user or / and the user of the called apparatus sends a favorite song to the called party so that the called user can hear the incoming call as a ringing tone. It is possible to easily identify who is the calling user of the voice communication, or the calling user can record his / her voice and create a music information file in the music information storage folder 7a. The voice message such as “Oh (the name of the user of the called side device),“ Oh ”(the name of the user of the calling side device) is stored. It can also be used for the purpose of assisting the called user to make it easy to determine whether or not the called user should answer the incoming call by letting the calling user hear the incoming call sound. Such a voice message can be set differently for each destination (terminal identification information) as the “ringtone data file name” of the “transmission data file” of the telephone directory information setting file 7c of FIG. In addition, it is possible to hear an optimum ring tone (voice message) for each of a number of called party devices (users). Further, in the telephone directory information setting file 7c of FIG. 5, since the ring tone reproduction condition setting flag Fp can be set corresponding to each destination (terminal identification information), the ring tone that is embarrassed and bad taste Set the flag Fp corresponding to the called party (the other party terminal identification information) that designates (sends) a ringtone or a ringtone that does not suit your preference to a value of 0 By using the ring tone data as a substitute, it is possible to cope with such adverse effects that may occur when the ring tone that is audibly output at the time of an incoming call can be designated from the calling side.

  After the reproduction is started in step S222, the user of the device responds to the incoming call by a predetermined operation input from the operation input / display unit 5, or the calling side cuts numbness because the called side has a slow response. Then, it waits until the call is canceled (No in decision S223, loop in No in decision S224), responds to the incoming call (Yes in decision S223), or when the call is canceled (Yes in decision S224) ), The reproduction of the music information started in process S222 is stopped (process S225), and the process ends.

  In addition, when the length of the music information started to be played as a ringtone in the process S222 is short, it can be dealt with by repeatedly playing the same song. In addition, when there are a plurality of music information files serving as ringtones, it can be dealt with by repeatedly playing in order or repeatedly playing while selecting at random.

  In the incoming call history information storage unit 7i of FIG. 6, the received data temporarily stored in the communication data buffer 4a of FIG. 7 is additionally stored as a history by the process S114 in the incoming / outgoing call control processing procedure of FIG. However, it is not said that the incoming call history is fully utilized for the purpose of displaying and checking the list as a simple incoming call history. The stored contents of the incoming call history information storage unit 7i in FIG. 6 and the stored contents of the telephone directory information setting table 7c in FIG. 5 have many common items, and therefore are based on the stored contents of the incoming call history information storage unit 7i in FIG. If registration to the telephone directory information setting table 7c in FIG. 5 can be performed, the telephone directory registration operation can be simplified.

  FIG. 16 shows a processing procedure for that purpose.

  First, stored contents corresponding to each “management number” in the incoming call history information storage unit 7i of FIG. 6 are displayed in a list on the operation input / display unit 5 (step S301), and history information corresponding to a specific “management number” is displayed. Wait until there is a selection operation (No loop in decision S302).

  If there is a selection operation (Yes in determination S302), the process waits until there is an operation input that instructs the selected history information to be registered in the telephone directory information setting file 7c (No loop in determination 303). When there is an instruction operation (Yes in determination S303), the “addressee terminal identification information” included in one piece of history information corresponding to the specific “management number” selected by the selection operation is stored in the phone book information of FIG. It is checked against the setting file 7c (processing S304), and it is determined whether it has been registered, that is, whether the same “partner terminal identification information” has already been registered in the telephone directory information setting file 7c (determination S305). If the destination is a new destination that has not been registered (No in S305), the “destination name character string”, “ringtone playback condition setting flag Fp”, “transmission data flag” not included in the incoming call history information are displayed. The operation for setting the item to be set by the user in response to the operation input from the operation input / display unit 5 (processing S306), the operation input of the necessary items is completed, and the registration instruction operation (No loop in judgment S307) and if there is a registration instruction operation (Yes in judgment S307), the history information stored in the incoming history information storage unit 7i is stored together with the necessary items set in step S306. Among them, the history information selected in the determination S302 is registered as a new record in the telephone directory information setting file 7c in FIG. 5 (processing S308). In this case, the “reception data file” of the history information is automatically set and registered as the “reception data file” of the phone book, and is used by referring to the processing S211, S215, and S218 in FIG. 14.

  If it is registered in the determination S305 (Yes in the determination S305), the corresponding "destination name character string", "ringing tone reproduction condition setting flag Fp", "transmission data file", "reception data file" corresponding to the telephone directory. ”Should also be set basically, so only the“ Received data file ”corresponding to the incoming call history is automatically set and registered as the“ Received data file ”corresponding to the corresponding destination in the phone book ( Process S309). The “received data file” registered for the setting is referred to and used in the processes S211, S215, and S218 of FIG.

  As described above, the audible output of the music information as the ring tone in the own device has been described. However, the use of the music information in the communication device that performs voice communication such as the mobile phone 1 is not limited to the ring tone but the call (voice). It is also conceivable to use it as BGM to be heard by the partner device (user) together with the transmitted voice information for the partner device during communication). Various ideas are conceivable with regard to the usage form. Hereinafter, various embodiments in the case of using music information as such BGM in the mobile phone 1 will be described below.

  FIG. 17 shows specific setting contents of the playlist setting file 7b of FIG.

  In the figure, a file 7b includes a “playlist name character string (playlist identification information)”, “playback order setting flag” corresponding to each playlist specified by “playlist identification number” on a one-to-one basis. “Fp”, “continuous playback setting flag Fr”, and one or more “song name (file name)” associated with each place, and one or more “song name (file name)” set in each place list Are individually configured for “volume setting”, “sound quality setting”, “tempo setting”, and “number of times of reproduction”.

  Here, the playlist specified by the playlist identification number “0” has the same configuration as that after the identification number “1”, but is a special playlist, and is a playlist set as a standard in the mobile phone 1. This is a list and corresponds to “standard setting” of “reproduce with standard settings” of the value “1” of the flag Fm in the storage area 7e of FIG.

  The “place list name character string (identification information)” is a character string attached to each place list specified by each play list identification number so that the feature of each place list is easily understood by the user.

  The “play order setting flag Fp” has a value “0” in the order in which one or more songs (music information files) set correspondingly are registered. This indicates that it should be “reproduced in order”, such as No. 2, No. 2, No. 3, etc. The value “1” should be “shuffle and play (random play)”, for example, if the number of registered songs is 3, the second song, the first song, the third song, etc. Is shown.

  “Continuous playback setting flag Fr” is a value “0”, and if one or more songs (music information files) set correspondingly have been played back once as set in the “playback order setting flag Fp” The value “1” indicates that the reproduction should be terminated, and one-round reproduction of one or more songs (music information files) set correspondingly is completed according to the setting of the “reproduction order setting flag Fp”. This indicates that the playback should be repeated without finishing the playback.

  One or more “song names (file names)” specify one of the one or more music information files stored in the music information storage folder 7a of FIG.

  The “volume setting” corresponding to each “song name (file name)” is a volume setting value to be set in the volume adjuster 63 in FIG. The value 1 indicates the lowest sound volume (amplification factor) and the value 5 indicates the highest sound volume (amplification factor).

  Further, the “sound quality setting” corresponding to each “song name (file name)” is a sound quality setting value to be set in the equalizer 62 in FIG. , All bass sounds are set to “normal”, value 1 is set to “emphasize (emphasize)” bass sounds, value 2 is set to “emphasize (emphasize)” middle sounds, value 3 is high In addition, the setting is to “emphasize (emphasize)” the bass.

  The “tempo setting” corresponding to each “song name (file name)” defines the playback speed when the music information playback means 13 decodes and decompresses the corresponding song, and the value 0 is set. The setting is “slow” compared to “standard”, the value 1 is “standard”, and the value 2 is “fast” compared to “standard”.

  In this way, since the reproduction conditions can be set finely for each song constituting each playlist, reproduction can be performed under the optimum reproduction conditions for each song.

  Note that it may be possible to individually set the playback conditions for each song for each music information file stored in the music information storage folder 7a. In this case, however, songs that are not registered in the playlist as a result. There is also a case where it is set wastefully.

  Further, the “number of playbacks” corresponding to each “song name (file name)” is incremented (added by 1) every time the corresponding song is played back, and stores the cumulative number of playbacks of each song. Field.

  Note that “volume setting”, “sound quality setting”, “tempo setting”, and “number of playbacks” are set not for each “song name” but for each playlist so as to simplify the setting. It may be. Since playlists are often composed of music information files with similar tunes, the effect is not significantly impaired compared to the case of each “song name”.

  FIG. 18 shows the registration contents of the phone book information setting file 7c in FIG. 3, which are not described in the phone book information setting file 7c in FIG. The registration contents of the phone book information setting file 7c in FIG. 18 are associated with the registration contents of the phone book information setting file 7c in FIG. 5 and the “management number” as a key. In FIGS. 5 and 18, “Destination terminal identification information” and “Destination name character string” are described in duplicate, but only one entry is registered as the registration contents of the telephone directory information setting file 7 c. It is what is done.

  In the figure, a file 7c corresponds to each “management number”, “partner terminal identification information”, “partner name character string”, “playlist identification number”, “playback order setting flag Fp”, “volume”. It is configured as a set of records configured by associating each field of “setting”.

“Destination terminal identification information” is a telephone number or the like assigned by a line operator to a communication partner device. The “partner terminal identification information” may include alphabets and symbols depending on the form of the partner terminal identification information assigned to the terminal by the line operator.

  The mobile phone 1 can make a call (voice communication) by calling the desired partner device by notifying the “partner terminal identification information” of the partner device to the line side. It is possible to receive notification of the “partner terminal identification information” of the counterpart device (when “non notification” is not set on the counterpart device side).

  The “destination name character string” is a character string attached so that the user can easily identify the corresponding “destination terminal identification information”. The “playlist identification number” indicates a playlist set for the partner device specified by the “partner terminal identification information”, and corresponds to the “playlist identification number” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. To do.

  The “reproduction order setting flag Fp” has the same definition as that in the file 7b of FIG. However, the value “−1” indicates that the flag Fp is not actively set, and the flag set in the file 7 b in FIG. 17 corresponding to the “playlist identification number” set correspondingly. It shows that the setting of Fp should be followed.

  “Volume setting” is also the same as the flag Fp and has the same definition as that in the file 7b of FIG. However, the value “−1” is not set positively in the “volume setting”, and is set in the file 7 b of FIG. 17 corresponding to the “playlist identification number” set correspondingly. This indicates that the “volume setting” corresponding to each “song name” should be followed.

  As a result, with regard to “play order setting” and “volume setting”, settings corresponding to each destination device in the phone book information setting file 7c are basically prioritized, and explicit settings are made in the phone book information setting file 7c. Since the setting in the playlist setting file 7b is applied only when the setting is not made, the setting relating to the reproduction of the music information is finely set for each partner apparatus and / or for each playlist ("song title" set correspondingly). It becomes possible to set.

  Note that “sound quality setting” and “tempo setting” in the file 7b in FIG. 17 are set in two stages, the phone book information setting file 7c and the place list setting file, as in the “volume setting”. It goes without saying.

  FIG. 19 shows a playlist creation processing procedure in the mobile phone 1 of FIG.

  In the figure, first, music information is displayed as a list on the display unit of the operation input / display unit 5 (step S401). That is, “file names (song names)” of one or more music information files stored in the music information storage folder 7a of FIG. 3 are displayed in a list on the display unit.

  Then, it is monitored whether there is an operation for selecting and specifying specific music information from the displayed list, or an operation for ending the selection from the list itself (No in judgment S402, No loop in judgment S403). ).

  When there is a selection operation from the list (Yes in determination S402), music information attribute setting operation processing is performed for the music information (file) of the selected one song (processing S404), and the process returns to determination S402.

  The attributes of the music information set and operated in step S404 are the “volume setting”, “sound quality setting”, and “tempo setting” attributes of the playlist setting file 7b in FIG.

  Through the process S404, one or more pieces of music information are registered in one playlist.

  If an operation for ending selection of music information to be registered in the playlist itself is performed in the determination S403 (Yes in the determination S403), a playlist attribute setting operation process is performed (processing S405).

  The attributes of the playlist set and operated in step S404 are the attributes of “playlist name character string”, “playback order setting flag Fp”, and “continuous playback setting flag Fr” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. is there.

  Through the processes S405 and S404, one or more pieces of music information are registered in one playlist, and the attributes of the playlist and the attributes of each of the one or more pieces of music information registered in the playlist are set. Once registered and created, the created new playlist is registered in association with the free “playlist identification number” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. 17 in step S406.

  According to the above procedure, a favorite playlist can be created based on one or more music information files stored in the music information storage folder 7a. It goes without saying that the contents of the created playlist can be changed and deleted via the operation input / display unit 5.

  Similarly, the setting contents of the telephone directory information setting file 7c shown in FIG. 18 (also FIG. 5) can be newly created, changed, and deleted via the operation input / display unit 5.

  Accordingly, the user of the mobile phone 1 stores and stores the music information file in the music information storage folder 7a, creates a desired playlist for the stored one or more music information, and creates the created playlist. As shown in FIG. 18, in the telephone directory information setting file 7c, it can be set in association with each counterpart device (corresponding counterpart terminal identification information).

  As described above, after setting the contents of the playlist setting file 7b and the telephone directory information setting file 7c, the mobile phone 1 in FIG. 1 performs a call (voice communication) related to an outgoing call or an incoming call as shown in FIG. Control is performed according to the control processing procedure of FIG. Note that the sequence shown in FIG. 8 is applied as a specific communication sequence in outgoing calls, and the sequence shown in FIG. 9 is applied to incoming calls (incoming calls).

  That is, there is a destination designation operation for making a call (there are two ways of direct entry of a destination telephone number by using the numeric keypad or indirect entry by referring to the telephone book information setting file 7c) or an incoming call. (No loop of judgment S501, loop of No of judgment S502).

  If there is a destination designation operation (Yes in determination S501), and if there is a call instruction operation waiting for a call instruction operation (No loop in determination S503) (Yes in determination S503), a call is made. Then, before dialing the designated destination, a value “0” indicating that the current voice communication is related to the “calling mode” is set in the flag Fmode (step S504). The value of the flag Fmode is stored in the RAM 4 and is referred to as necessary in the music reproduction control process described later.

  Then, the destination designation form in the judgment S501 is judged (judgment S505), and in the case of the "direct designation" form by directly inputting the telephone number with the numeric keypad, the "direct designation" is set in the flag Fdial (stored in the RAM 4). Is set (step S506), and a call (voice communication) is started by calling the partner device specified by the partner terminal identification information directly designated in step S501 (step S506). S509).

In decision S505, the destination designation form in decision S501 is indirect designation with reference to the phone book information setting file 7c, that is, the field of "address name string" in the phone book information setting file 7c is displayed in a list, and the designation designation is made among them. If the “partner terminal identification information” corresponding to the received information is indirectly selected and specified, a value “1” indicating “indirect specification” is set in the flag Fdial (stored in the RAM 4). In addition to setting (processing S507), the designated destination terminal identification information is stored as a character string variable Other (stored in the RAM 4), and then specified by the destination terminal identification information indirectly designated in processing S501. A call is made to the partner device and a telephone call (voice communication) is started (step S509). After step S509, the process proceeds to step S515 in FIG.

  In decision S502, if there is an incoming call (Yes in decision S502), after answering the incoming call and prior to starting a call (voice communication) with the other device, the current voice communication is set in the flag Fmode. A value “1” indicating that the call is related to “incoming call mode” is set (step S510). The value of the flag Fmode is stored in the RAM 4 and is referred to as necessary in the music reproduction control process described later.

  Then, it is determined whether the partner terminal identification information has been notified from the partner device at the time of the incoming call (decision S511). After setting the character string “no notification”, the telephone conversation (voice communication) with the called partner apparatus is started (step S514). After step S514, the process proceeds to step S515 in FIG.

  When notified in the determination S511 (Yes in the determination S511), the character string of the notified partner terminal identification information is set in the character string variable Other (stored in the RAM 4), and the call is received. A call (voice communication) with the partner apparatus is started (step S514). After step S514, the process proceeds to step S515 in FIG.

  In process S515 of FIG. 21, a music reproduction control process (described later) is activated. Thereby, thereafter, the voice communication control process and the music reproduction control process are executed in parallel.

  After the music playback control process is started in step S515, the process waits until an instruction operation for private use of music playback is performed via the operation input / display unit 5 or the call (voice communication) itself ends (determination). When the call is ended (Yes in determination S517), a value “indicating that music playback should be ended is stored in the flag Fend (stored in the RAM 4)” (No in S516, No loop in determination S517). After “1” is set, the process returns to the determination S501 in FIG.

  In the determination S516, if there is a reproduction end instruction operation (Yes in the determination S516), a value “1” indicating that the music reproduction should be ended is set to the flag Fend (stored in the RAM 4). Thus, the process proceeds to determination S517.

  The specific processing procedure of the music playback control process activated in process S515 at the start of a call related to outgoing or incoming call is the procedure shown in FIGS.

  First, in FIG. 22, it is determined whether the value of the music playback start condition setting flag Fs is 0 (automatic playback) or not (manual playback) (determination S601). If the playback is manual playback (Yes in determination S601), Instead of immediately starting playback of music information combined with audio information and transmission to the partner device, the system waits for a music information selection operation (No loop in determination S602).

  Specifically, the music information selection operation in that case may be an operation for selecting one or more pieces of music information from one or more pieces of music information stored in the music information storage folder 7a of FIG. It may be an indirect selection operation by a playlist selection operation from the playlist setting file 7b of FIG.

  If there is a selection operation in determination S602 (Yes in determination S602), sequential reproduction of the selected one or more pieces of music information is started (processing S603). Then, the reproduction of the music information is continued until the reproduction for all the selected music information is completed or the value of the flag Fend changes to 1 (No in judgment S604, No loop in judgment S605). When the reproduction of the music information is completed (Yes in determination S604), the reproduction of the music information is terminated.

  Further, the flag Fend, that is, the value of the flag Fend set by the process S518 or the process S519 in the audio communication control process procedure of FIGS. 20 and 21 being executed in parallel with the music reproduction control process is “1”. In other words, when there is a reproduction end instruction operation by the user, or when the call is ended, the value of the flag Fend is reset to “0” (step S606), and the music information is reproduced. Exit.

  In this case, “reproduction of music information” means that the music information reproducing means 13 forms a necessary music information file from the large-capacity storage means 7 after the switching circuit of FIG. Of the circuit group for sequentially reading out the data body and decoding / decompressing it, and combining the music information with the voice information from the microphone unit 6c in the call circuit 6a shown in FIG. This is a process of outputting to the D / A converter 61.

  As a result, even if the call is started, unless the user gives an instruction, the music information is played back and “manual playback” is not performed without sending it to the partner device. It is possible to perform control so that music information is reproduced and transmitted to the partner apparatus.

  Note that, in the procedure of “manual reproduction” in the determinations S602 to S606, the music information to be reproduced is also manually selected. However, “automatic reproduction” performed when the determination S601 is Yes, which will be described later. It goes without saying that the music information selection may be automatically performed by applying the procedure according to the above. In this case, the user can listen to the music information only when he / she wants to listen to the user on the partner apparatus side. However, since the music information selection operation itself can be omitted, there is an advantage that the operation can be saved.

  In addition, when a predetermined number for instructing automatic reproduction of music information is added in front of the telephone number of the other party specified at the time of calling, the music information is automatically transmitted when the call is started. It may be. Also, when the other party's phone number is specified, the sending of music information is started at the same time as the start of the call, while when dialing with another predetermined number that prohibits the reproduction of music information. May be configured not to transmit music information during a call. Also, the playback order of the music information selected in step S602 may be set according to the operation input.

  If it is determined in the determination S601 that “automatic reproduction” is set (Yes in the determination S601), the process proceeds to the determination S607 in FIG.

  In the determination S607 of FIG. 23, it is determined whether or not the value of the flag Fmode for which the value is set by the processing S504 or S510 of FIG. 20 is 0 (calling mode).

  Then, in the case of the calling mode (Yes in judgment S607), the procedure for shifting to judgment S608 is executed, and in the case of the incoming call mode (No in judgment S607), the procedure after judgment S618 in FIG. 24 is executed. .

  In the calling mode, first, it is determined whether the value of the flag Fdial set in step S506 or S507 in FIG. 20 is 0 (direct specification) (indirect specification) (determination S608). (Yes in decision S608), it is further determined whether or not the value of the flag Fm preset in the storage area 7e in FIG. 3 is 0 (not reproduced) (reproduced with standard settings) (decision S609).

  If “not reproduced” (Yes in determination S609), the process ends without starting reproduction of the music information. In the case of “reproduce with standard settings” (No in determination S609), music reproduction processing is performed based on a standard set playlist whose “playlist identification number” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. 17 is “0”. (Processing S610).

  Note that the music playback processing in step S610 is performed by switching the switching circuit of FIG. 2 on the mixer 64 side, and then the music information playback means 13 from the mass storage means 7 to the target playlist (in this case, the standard playlist) 2 sequentially read out and decode / decompress the music data main body constituting each of the one or more music information files registered in the music information file, and the music information is added to the voice information from the microphone unit 6c in the call circuit 6a shown in FIG. This is the process of outputting to the D / A converter 61 in the circuit group for combining and sending to the counterpart device. In the music reproduction process, music information files are reproduced in the order based on the settings of the “reproduction order setting flag Fp” and the “continuous reproduction setting flag Fr” for one or more pieces of music information registered in the target playlist. 2 is set in the volume adjuster 63 in FIG. 2 when each piece of music information is reproduced, and the “sound quality setting” set in correspondence with each piece of music information. "Is set in the equalizer 62 in FIG. 2 at the time of reproduction of each music information, and the" tempo setting "set corresponding to each music information is reflected in the reproduction speed of each music information in the music information reproduction means 13. .

  The music playback processing in step S610 is performed until the playback based on the setting of the playlist is completed or the value of the flag Fend set to 1 in the processing S518 or S519 in FIG. 21 changes to 1 (determination S611). No, the loop of No in S612), when the playback is completed (Yes in S611), the playback process is terminated. Also, when the value of the flag Fend has changed to 1 (Yes in determination S612), the value of the flag Fend is reset to 0 (processing S613), and the processing ends.

  As a result, during a call related to a call to the other party specified by direct entry of the telephone number using the numeric keypad, the music information registered in the standard playlist is set according to the correspondingly set conditions. It is sent to the destination device, and the user on the other end device side can hear the music information together with the voice information from the own device.

  Note that the default playlist is applied to the directly specified destination, assuming that the destination is not registered in the phone book, but the corresponding destination terminal is checked against the phone book. When identification information (phone book) is registered, a corresponding playlist may be applied, and a standard playlist may be applied only when it is not registered. In that case, it is possible to automatically select a playlist more suitable for the other party.

  Also, if the call ends or playback is instructed in the middle of judgment playback, and the playback of music information is interrupted, the performance is started from the point where it was interrupted (in the middle of the song) during the next call. You may make it provide the start means which starts a performance from the beginning of the music (music information), without providing a start means or starting from the middle of a music. In that case, in order to identify the played and unplayed music information, a flag indicating whether or not the music has been played is set for each piece of music information, and playback from the middle is performed with reference to the flag. To. When the music information is reproduced from the middle, the elapsed time from the beginning of the music information to the position where it has been reproduced is measured and stored, and is referred to when the reproduction is resumed.

  Also, from the music information to be played next after the music information interrupted during playback ("sequential playback" is the next registered song, and "shuffle and play" is the next randomly selected music information) You may provide the next means to start a performance.

  In the determination S608, if it is indirect designation by the telephone book (No in the determination S608), the character string variable Nother in which the destination terminal identification information related to the call is stored in the process S508 of FIG. The music reproduction process is performed based on the corresponding playlist in the 18 telephone directory information setting file 7c (process S614).

  The music playback process of process S614 is performed until the playback based on the setting of the playlist is completed or the value of the flag Fend set to 1 in process S518 or S519 of FIG. 21 changes to 1 (determination S615). No, the loop of No in S616), when the playback is completed (Yes in S615), the playback process is terminated. Also, when the value of the flag Fend has changed to 1 (Yes in determination S616), the value of the flag Fend is reset to 0 (processing S617), and the processing ends.

  As a result, during a call related to a call to a destination specified indirectly with reference to the phone book, the playlist set in the phone book information setting file 7c corresponding to the specified destination. The music information registered in the destination device is sent to the destination device under the correspondingly set conditions, and is sent to the other party device side user along with the voice information from the own device. The music information optimally set by the user of the mobile phone 1 to be heard by the user of the apparatus can be heard.

  Note that the default playlist is applied to the directly specified destination, assuming that the destination is not registered in the phone book, but the corresponding destination terminal is checked against the phone book. When identification information (phone book) is registered, a corresponding playlist may be applied, and a standard playlist may be applied only when it is not registered. In that case, it is possible to automatically select a playlist more suitable for the other party.

  In the processing procedure of FIG. 24 performed when the determination S607 is No (incoming call mode), first, whether the content of the character string variable Other set in the processing S512 or S513 of FIG. 20 is “no notification”. It is determined whether or not (notified partner terminal identification information).

  In the case of “no notification” (Yes in judgment S619), whether the value of the flag Fm preset in the storage area 7e in FIG. 3 is 0 (not reproduced) or not (reproduced with standard settings). Is determined (determination S619).

  If “not reproduced” (Yes in determination S619), the process ends without starting reproduction of the music information. In the case of “reproduce with standard settings” (No in determination S619), music reproduction processing is performed based on a standard set playlist whose “playlist identification number” in the playlist setting file 7b of FIG. 4 is “0”. (Processing S610).

  The music playback process of process S620 is performed until the playback based on the setting of the playlist is completed or the value of the flag Fend set to 1 in process S518 or S519 of FIG. 21 changes to 1 (determination S621). No, the loop of No in S622), when the playback is completed (Yes in S621), the playback process is terminated. Also, when the value of the flag Fend has changed to 1 (Yes in determination S622), the value of the flag Fend is reset to 0 (processing S623), and the processing ends.

  As a result, when there is no notification of the destination terminal identification information and a call related to an incoming call from a destination whose family name is unknown unlike the destination registered in the phone book, it is registered in the standard playlist. Music information is sent to the partner device under the correspondingly set conditions, and the user of the other party's device can hear the music information together with the voice information from the own device. .

  In the determination S618, when the destination terminal identification information is notified at the time of the incoming call (No in the determination S618), the destination terminal identification information related to the outgoing call is stored in the process S508 of FIG. A music reproduction process based on the corresponding playlist in the telephone directory information setting file 7c of FIG. 18 is performed on the column variable Nother (process S624).

  The music playback process in step S624 is performed until the playback based on the setting of the playlist is completed or the value of the flag Fend set to 1 in the process S518 or S519 in FIG. 21 changes to 1 (determination S625). No, loop of No of judgment S626) When the reproduction is completed (Yes of judgment S625), the reproduction process is terminated. Also, when the value of the flag Fend has changed to 1 (Yes in determination S626), the value of the flag Fend is reset to 0 (processing S627), and the processing ends.

  As a result, the destination terminal identification information that has been notified is set in the phone book information setting file 7c corresponding to the destination during a call related to an incoming call from the destination registered in the phone book. The music information registered in the playlist is sent to the partner device under the correspondingly set conditions. The music information optimally set by the user of the mobile phone 1 can be heard in order to let the user of the counterpart device hear.

  In addition, there may be a case where the notified destination terminal identification information is not registered in the telephone directory. In this case, the determination is made in the same manner as in the case of a non-notification destination, that is, in the case where determination S618 is Yes. You may make it apply the procedure of S619 thru | or process S623. As a result, the standard place list can be applied even to a call related to an incoming call from a destination not registered in the telephone directory.

  In addition, the destination directly specified at the time of outgoing call, the destination that does not notify the destination terminal identification information at the time of incoming call, even if the destination terminal identification information is notified at the time of incoming call, the destination terminal identification information remains in the phone book It is also conceivable that a playlist is individually set in advance and applied to each destination that is not registered in.

  In the above description, the playlist setting file 7b is used for registering / referencing music information to be transmitted to the partner device during a call together with the sound information collected by the microphone unit 6c. Needless to say, the playlist setting file 7b may be used by the user of the mobile phone 1 to listen to and enjoy music through the speaker unit 6b or an unillustrated earphone during standby.

  Specifically, when the registered contents of the playlist setting file 7b are displayed as a list and a desired playlist is selected, one or more pieces of music information registered in the selected playlist are set in accordance with the set conditions. It can also be used for playback.

  However, usually when listening to music and when using it as background music during a call, the playback conditions (playback conditions) such as playback volume, sound quality, and whether or not to use shuffle play are different. Matching playback conditions can also be set. That is, for each playlist constituting the playlist setting file 7b, two types of playback conditions are set for BGM during a call and for listening to music during standby, and the playback condition for BGM during standby is set as standby. Sometimes the playback conditions for listening to music may be effective. Basically, the playlist setting file 7b is set to be optimal for standby music appreciation, and the playback conditions during a call are set in the telephone directory information setting file 7c in FIG. It can also be considered.

  Further, the music information attached to the received mail and the downloaded music information can be stored in the music information storage folder 7a of FIG. 3 and can be newly registered in the playlist. In addition, the playlist setting file 7b is transmitted to the other device (attached to an e-mail, directly transmitted by FTP, HTTP protocol, etc.), and an existing playlist setting file is downloaded from the server of the playlist provider. Correspondingly set music information may be downloaded at the same time and stored in the music information storage folder 7a. The music information set in correspondence is downloaded when the music information becomes necessary, that is, a playlist is newly registered in association with a predetermined destination in the telephone directory information setting file 7c. Sometimes, only music information registered in the newly registered playlist is accessed and downloaded each time, so that downloading of music information that will not be reproduced as a result is omitted. You can also

  In addition, as a playback condition of music information at the time of a call, select and set from a plurality of playlists for each day of the week, month, date, time zone, season, and set the playlist to play to the day of the week, month, date, You may make it provide a program play means to change every time slot | zone and a season. Such performance conditions (reproduction conditions) may be set for each destination in the telephone directory information setting file 7c, or another setting means (for example, a setting means dedicated to BGM playback) may be provided. Also good.

  Also, a playlist set in the playlist setting file 7b (corresponding music information) or one or a plurality of music information stored in the music information storage folder 7a cannot be answered to an incoming call. It can also be used as an on-hold tone. That is, when there is an incoming call and a holding operation is performed by the user, the music information is reproduced by connecting to the other party. In that case, the “playlist identification number” of the playlist setting file 7b or the music information file is set and stored in advance for use as a music on hold, and when the music on hold is sent to the partner device, the set music information is set. Is played and sent out.

  In addition, the “sound quality setting” for each piece of music information in the playlist setting file 7b is prepared by preparing a plurality of preset equalizers in which the strength at each frequency is set in advance, so that the user has to manually set the strength of each frequency. It can be omitted.

  In addition, since the volume of each music information when it is played is different (it differs depending on the music data source from which the music information is based), a playback sound automatic uniform means for keeping the playback volume constant may be provided.

  It is also possible to send music information attached to an e-mail or send it directly to the other device (using FTP or HTTP protocol).

  As the number of music information files stored / stored in the mobile phone 1 increases, the amount of data increases, and maintenance such as backup becomes necessary. Therefore, the music information file and the telephone directory information setting file 7c can be maintained by connecting to an external device such as a PC via the external I / F means 15 or the like.

  That is, the music information file, the playlist setting file 7b, the telephone directory information setting file 7c, etc. stored in the mobile phone 1 are also stored on the PC side. When the PC and the mobile phone 1 are connected, the PC Communication is started between the server software on the side and the client software on the side of the mobile phone 1, and the mutual data is updated to the latest data based on data sync information such as file update records and creation dates.

  Specifically, when a new playlist is created on the mobile phone 1 side and registered in the playlist setting file 7b, the newly registered playlist is transferred to the PC side. In this case, the music information file registered in the created playlist is not always stored in the music information storage folder 7a in FIG. That is, the music information storage folder 7a stores a registerable music information list file in which a list of music (file) names that can be registered in the playlist is stored, and one or more music names registered in the list are stored. A list is displayed when a new playlist is registered. This is to prevent the storage capacity of the large-capacity storage means 7 from being pressed for music information files that are not eventually registered in the playlist.

  On the other hand, the PC side stores the playlist, and checks whether the music information file included in the playlist is stored (or downloaded) on the mobile phone 1 side. . If not stored, the music information file stored on the PC side is transferred to the mobile phone 1 side. The mobile phone 1 stores the music information file received (downloaded) from the PC in the music information storage folder 7a shown in FIG. As a result, music information files that are not stored in the device at the time of playlist registration can be played according to the selection of the playlist, and the music information file stored in the mobile phone 1 and related information are maintained. can do.

  In addition, the music information file stored in the mobile phone 1 may be used not only as a BGM to be transmitted together with the audio information to be transmitted to the partner apparatus, but also as a notification sound such as the above-mentioned ring tone. The notification sound such as the ringtone plays music information in the normal playlist setting (usually for a long time) due to its characteristics (short playback time, listening through speakers, etc.) compared to normal music performance. Playback, listening with earphones) and malfunctions (playlist songs cannot be listened to the end, playback volume setting is not suitable, etc.).

  Therefore, by editing the music information file (data conversion, song length editing, etc.), it will be used as a notification sound for background music, hold tone, ringtone, alarm sound, operation sound, etc. It is possible. Also, a playlist (one or more music information files registered correspondingly) can be used for notification sound. For example, a predetermined playlist is set for notification sound. In this case, the playback conditions (playback order, playback volume, playback sound quality, mid-start function, first start function, next function and shuffle settings, program play function, etc.) for use as a notification sound are set to normal music. It is preferable that the setting can be made separately from the setting for listening and the setting for BGM played back during a call. Of course, the playback condition may be set for each notification sound.

Music information may be provided on a medium such as a record, CD, DVD, cassette tape, LD, MD, or may be obtained as digital information from the Internet. Device), a song created using an editing function, a song created with another device), a song with copyright, a song without copyright, and the like.
Up to this point, music information has been described as an example, but instead of music information, for example, PCM-recorded voice data, recorded data, voice synthesis data, radio recorded data, TV broadcast voice recorded data, this kind of reading Sound data such as sound data (sound information) or other known sound data may be used.

  In addition, if the music information file itself as ringtone data is transmitted to the partner apparatus together with the call control signal, there is a problem that it takes time to set up the call. Therefore, one or a plurality of music information files themselves that can be designated as ring tone data are stored in advance in the called device, and a music information file that becomes ring tone data from the calling device to the called device. By transmitting identification information such as a file name for specifying a music information file designated as ringtone data to a call control signal and transmitting it to the called device without transmitting it, the called device can It is also conceivable to select and reproduce a music information file serving as ring tone data stored in the own device based on the received identification information specifying the ring tone data. As a result, the amount of data that must be transmitted from the called device to the called device can be reduced in order to cause the called device to reproduce the ring tone designated by the calling device. Further, when a music information file serving as ring tone data designated from the calling side device to the called side device is not stored in the called side device, the calling side device notifies the calling side device to that effect. The called side device reads out the music information file designated as the ringing tone from the called side device to the called side device only after receiving the notification. It may be transmitted to the device and played as a ringtone. In such a case, in order to share and use a music information file serving as a ring tone among more communication devices, information (file name, etc.) for identifying a music information file serving as a ring tone data is: It is desirable that the information is common between devices. Thereby, the time required for call setting can be shortened.

  Alternatively, it is conceivable to use the ring tone data stored in the network side (station side) device that manages and relays communication between the communication devices without using the ring tone data stored in the terminal communication device. . Also in this case, the calling side device transmits the identification information of the ring tone data to the network side on the call control signal. The network side device selects the ring tone data stored in advance in the network device based on the identification information of the ring tone data received from the calling side device, and places the ring tone data on the call control signal. To the called (called) device. The called device reproduces the received ring tone data as a ring tone. As a result, the time required for call setup on the called side can be shortened.

  Also, instead of music information, image data or video data is transmitted together with the music information, and when the ringing tone data is played back at the incoming call device, the image data or video data is played back and displayed. You may do (picture, ringtone, ringtone movie function). At this time, all the techniques described in the above-described ring tone data can be applied to image data or moving image data.

  Up to this point, the embodiments of data transmission (calling tone or incoming image data, BGM data during a call, etc.) from the calling side device to the called side device have been described. You may send data to. In this case, the transmission data is transmitted together with a control signal (for example, an ALERT signal, a CONN signal, a REL COMP signal, etc. in FIGS. 8 and 9) transmitted from the called device to the calling device. The calling side device stores the received data in the incoming call history means or the telephone directory means in association with the terminal identification information notified from the calling side device, and next time the called side device calls In this case, the ring tone data and the received image data received in advance corresponding to the calling device (terminal identification information notified from the device) are reproduced and displayed. This solves the problem that the called device cannot control the setting of the ring tone or the received image of the calling device. Thus, the ringing tone data between the communication devices is transmitted by the called side (calling side) device by transmitting the ringing tone data and the like to the calling side device when the call is received from the calling side device. Such information sharing becomes even closer, and the convenience of the communication device can be further enhanced.

  Currently, there is a communication terminal device provided with a plurality of own terminal identification information. However, for example, when a mobile phone is used as a communication terminal device and the phone number of the own terminal device is considered as the own terminal identification information, the phone number of a plurality of own terminal devices is provided. There are no applications to save. However, it is possible to improve the usability of the communication terminal device provided with a plurality of own terminal identification information.

  Specifically, in a communication terminal device having a plurality of own terminal identification information, for each own terminal identification information, a telephone book means such as a telephone book information setting file 7c in FIG. 5 and FIG. Various information related to the called communication is stored for each communication), incoming call history means (various information related to the incoming (incoming) communication) is stored for each communication, call or communication charge information means (one call) Minute (1 communication) charge information, call charge such as accumulated call charge (integrated communication charge) or information related to communication charge), device function setting means (type of ringtone, ringtone volume, etc., standby screen) And various functions (communication information means) related to the self-terminal identification information such as settings relating to the display screen such as lighting. And when the own terminal identification information to be used is selected from among the plurality of own terminal identification information, the telephone directory means, outgoing call history means, incoming call history means, telephone call corresponding to the selected terminal identification information thereafter Alternatively, communication fee information means and device function setting means are used.

  As an example, the case of a telephone directory will be described. A telephone device having a plurality of telephone numbers (phone number A and telephone number B) as the telephone number of its own terminal, for example, when the telephone number A is used as a company (public) telephone number In the telephone directory A, information such as a telephone number and an e-mail address of a work relationship (customer, etc.) of the company is stored. The telephone number B is used as a private telephone number, and the telephone directory B stores information such as a private telephone number and a mail address. For example, when the user is currently working and the phone number A is used, or when the phone number A is set to be used (set to the work mode), the user selects the phone book function. In this case, the telephone directory A corresponding to the telephone number A can be selected and used. Next, when using privately, the telephone number B is selected and a telephone is set to private mode. At this time, when the user selects the phone book function, the phone book B can be selected and used. In this case, switching between the work mode and the private mode may be performed by selecting the telephone number of the own device or by switching between the work mode and the private mode.

  25, in the mobile phone 1 of FIG. 1, “phone book A” for “private” and “phone book B” for “work” as the phone book information setting file 7c of FIG. 5 and FIG. A reference phone book setting process procedure performed on the premise that the phone book information information setting file to be preliminarily stored in the large-capacity storage unit 7 is shown.

  In the figure, it is monitored whether there is a setting change from “private” to “work” or from “work” to “private” in the mode (No loop in processing S701 and judgment S702).

  If there is a setting change (Yes in determination S702), it is determined whether the setting change is from "work" to "private" (from "private" to "work") (determination S703).

  When the mode is changed to the “private” mode (Yes in determination S703), the reference phone book setting flag Ftel (stored in the RAM 4) is set to a value 0 indicating that the phone book A should be referred to (processing S704). ).

  When the mode is changed to the “work” mode (No in determination S703), the reference phonebook setting flag Ftel (stored in the RAM 4) is set to a value 1 indicating that the phonebook B should be referred to (processing S705). ).

  When the mobile phone 1 should refer to the phone book information setting file, the corresponding phone book information setting file that refers to the value of the reference phone book setting flag Ftel is referred to.

  As a result, each of the phone book information setting files for “private” and “work” is added to the “private” and “work” destinations, playlists corresponding to the destinations, and the playlists. You can set the playback conditions for registered music information and use them properly.

  Also, in the case of so-called Mobile Centrex, which is a service that can use a mobile phone as an extension terminal, for example, when the phone number A is an external phone number and the phone number B is an extension phone number, it is used. The user may manually select the telephone number to be used. However, when the user detects whether the own communication terminal apparatus is in the company and detects that the terminal is in the company, the telephone number B is automatically selected. May be selected. Whether or not the own communication terminal device is in the company is detected by checking whether the own communication terminal device is within the radio area of the radio base station or radio relay station installed in the company (communication between the communication terminal device and the base station). Whether or not position detection is possible).

  In addition, when the own terminal identification information provided in the own device increases, the amount of data required by the corresponding phone book means, outgoing call history means, incoming call history means, call / communication charge information means, and device function setting means Since it increases, a backup means is needed. Therefore, it is conceivable to back up the data stored in the own device in a data storage device prepared on the radio base station side.

  That is, a communication path is secured between the radio base station side and the own device using a predetermined communication protocol, and data of the own device is transmitted to the radio base station side, thereby backing up the data in the data storage device. The device downloads backup data when necessary.

  In addition, it is good if there is little self-terminal identification information that can be used, but if it increases, it becomes difficult to remember what the self-terminal identification information mainly consists of numbers, symbols, etc. There's a problem.

  Therefore, if the name can be set in each terminal identification information or changed after the setting, the usability is further improved. For example, when the terminal identification information is a telephone number, there are cases where it is more advantageous to handle with a name than to handle numbers themselves. For example, a name such as “work” for telephone number A, “private” for telephone number C, and “extension” for telephone number B can be set. In this way, the device can be operated more reliably by selecting the name instead of the telephone number itself.

  Now, in the mobile phone 1 of FIG. 1, when the time for starting the display of the television broadcast received by the TV receiving means 11 is set as a timer, if there is a case where it is not noticed at the set time, the TV broadcast is overlooked. There is a problem of end. Therefore, as an embodiment for solving the problem, when the time set by the timer is reached, a notification is made by notifying means (sounding of the sounding means (notification sound), display on the display means). At the same time, it is conceivable to store (recording means) the TV broadcast video that has started to be received in a memory means such as the mass storage unit 7.

  In addition to watching TV broadcasts in real time on a mobile phone, it is also possible in the future to play back recorded data (recorded broadcast video, recorded video) recorded from TV broadcasts. On the other hand, mobile phones are not suitable for viewing recorded data for a long time due to the special circumstances that the screen is small and the battery does not last for a long time. For this reason, it is important to search for broadcasts to be watched, programs to be watched, scenes, etc. in recorded broadcasts, and the search method is recognized as a future problem.

  An embodiment of the invention for solving the problem will be described below.

  The recorded data is directly received by the TV receiving means 11 of the mobile phone 1 and the video data is stored in a memory means (a memory built in the main body or a hard disk, an external IC card memory or a hard disk). At this time, the TV broadcast data sent by the broadcasting station is already compressed data (for example, MPEG or the like) and may be stored in the memory means as it is, or converted into another compression method and then stored in the memory means. May be stored. Furthermore, metadata (information regarding program contents such as program name, broadcast time, broadcast channel, keyword, performer name, broadcast station name, etc.) regarding the content information of the video data (program) is received using the wireless communication means 18. (Data reception, e-mail, etc.) are stored in the memory means. When playing back video data, this metadata is used to access and play back the program or scene you want to watch. The video data stored in the memory means is reproduced and expanded by the image processing means 9 as the video data reproducing means and displayed on the image display means 10. Alternatively, video data may be reproduced from an external IC card memory or hard disk in which broadcast data is stored in advance. The metadata may be created by the user using an input means such as the operation input / display unit 5.

  TV broadcast program guide data is received using the wireless communication means 18. At this time, for example, using GPS means using an artificial satellite, the location data of the current location is acquired and transmitted to the server device managing the program guide data. The server device is based on the received location data. The TV broadcast program guide data that can be received at that position is transmitted. The mobile phone that has received the program guide uses the program guide data in a timer reservation or timer recording application (the application and the TV receiving means 11 can communicate with each other using a predetermined protocol (eg, G code)). . When the application is activated, a program guide is displayed on the display device, and a broadcast program to be reserved for timer recording or timer recording is selected and determined. Thereafter, when the timer reservation or timer recording time comes, a command is transmitted from the application to the TV receiving means 10 to receive the TV broadcast or start the recording of the TV broadcast. In addition, metadata (information on program contents such as program name, broadcast time, broadcast channel, keyword, performer name, broadcast station name, etc.) is used as a keyword, and a broadcast program or a broadcast scene that matches the keyword is recorded. It is also possible. Also, in the case of FM / AM radio broadcasting, the data to be handled is merely replaced by radio data or audio signals from TV broadcast video data, and the above-described embodiments of TV broadcasting can be applied.

  FIG. 17 shows a block configuration of a mobile phone 1a as a communication device that is all-IP (Internet Protocol). In the figure, the same components as those of the cellular phone 1 shown in FIG.

  The base station wireless I / F means 32 is an interface for performing wireless communication between the mobile phone 1a and the base station. The LAN wireless I / F means 31 is an interface for performing wireless communication between the mobile phone 1a and the LAN wireless base station. Conventionally, a dedicated protocol is used for the base station wireless I / F means 32. However, there are increasing cases of using the Internet network or the IP network between the base station side and the communication counterpart device. Furthermore, since IP is originally used for the LAN protocol, if the base station wireless I / F means 32 can also be converted to IP, cost reduction can be expected due to common use of components. Therefore, as in this embodiment, the IP unit 30 is commonly used for the base station wireless I / F unit 32 and the LAN wireless I / F unit 32.

  The IP means 30 includes two types of IP means: VoIP means used for voice and data IP means used for data communication. The VoIP means converts an analog voice signal sent from the call circuit into digital data, and further encodes and compresses it if necessary. Next, the audio signal data is embedded in the IP packet for transmission, and sequentially sent to the base station wireless I / F means 32 or the LAN wireless I / F means 31. Also, the audio signal data is taken out from the receiving IP packet input from the base station wireless I / F means 32 or the LAN wireless I / F means 31, and is decoded and decompressed if necessary. It is converted into an analog voice signal and sent to the call circuit 6a. In the case of the data IP means, instead of the call circuit of the VoIP means, for example, input / output with the memory means may be performed, or a dedicated data processing means may be provided.

  The IP means 30 assembles control IP packets for performing call control and sequentially sends them to the base station wireless I / F means 32 or the LAN wireless I / F means 31. Further, the control IP packet received from the base station wireless I / F means 32 or the LAN wireless I / F means 31 is disassembled. Such sending and receiving of the control IP packet may be configured by another means independent of the IP means 30. The operation control of the IP unit 30 may be performed by software by the CPU 2 or may be performed by hardware logic by a dedicated LSI.

  FIG. 18 shows an example of a communication sequence by SIP performed between the calling device and the called device in the all-IP mobile phone 1 of FIG.

  In the figure, a request message “INVITE” is transmitted from the calling side (phase F101). “INVITE” is a session activation signal, and an attribute of the session that can be received by the calling party is indicated by SDP (control information description). Specifically, the reception condition (codec, port number, etc.) on the calling side and the transmission condition are presented.

  Upon receiving “INVITE” in phase F101, the called side transmits “180 RINGING” to the calling side in order to notify that it is in the ringing state (phase F102). Although the receiving condition (codec, port number, etc.) and transmission condition on the called side may be presented by this 180 RINGING, it is usually presented by the next 200 OK.

  In addition, the called side transmits “200 OK” to the calling side in order to notify that the call is ready (phase F103). In “200 OK”, an attribute of a session that can be received by the called party is indicated by SDP. The called side presents the receiving conditions (codec, port number, etc.) and transmission conditions of the called side with “200 OK”.

  Next, the calling side transmits “ACK” to the called side (phase F104), whereby attributes that can be used for communication are negotiated with each other between the calling side and the called side. In the present embodiment, this is defined as the connection phase for convenience.

  Next, transfer of media (sound, image, video, etc.) by RTP packet is started (phase F105). In this embodiment, the medium transfer period is defined as a data transmission / reception phase for convenience.

  When terminating communication (in this case, the called party) sends a “BYE” signal to request termination of communication (phase F106), and the receiving side (in this case, the calling party) A “200 OK” signal as a response is transmitted to end the communication (phase F107). In this embodiment, this phase is defined as a cutting phase for convenience. Note that the disconnection phase may be activated not only from the called device but also from the calling device.

  In the above series of explanations, a mobile phone and an IP phone have been cited as examples of the communication device according to the present invention. In addition, the communication device includes a mobile radio, an IP phone using a wireless LAN, and an IP communication terminal. There are communication terminal devices having communication functions such as devices, general subscriber phones, computers with communication functions, mobile phones, PHS, PDAs, and the like, which can be implemented using communication protocols that can be used by each communication terminal device.
