Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit a user to immediately recognize a message by sound and to prevent a user from turning his eyes away while driving in using an automobile telephone system by outputting the service message by means of sound. CONSTITUTION:When a sensor circuit 1 detects the consumption of a battery and it receives information from a base station, a control circuit 2 discriminates whether a content is to be informed to the user or not by a program stored in a memory circuit 3. When it is the content to be informed, a switch 8 is changed over to a speaker 7-side and a message code is outputted to a sound synthesis circuit 4. It synthesizes the sound signal of the sound message corresponding to the message code and outputs it to a mixer circuit 5. Consequently, the user can immediately recognize the message and the safety is ensured as the user is not required to turn his eyes away while driving in using the automobile telephone set.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile telephone device used in a car-mounted telephone device, a transporter pull type telephone device, a hand belt type telephone device, and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, mobile telephone devices of this type have been equipped with a display for displaying service messages such as operating status, remaining battery level, radio wave environment at the current location, etc., and displaying service messages to users. It is configured to notify visually.

Therefore, the user can check the operation of the telephone device based on the operating status displayed on the display, and can know whether the user is currently located in a place where calls can be made or received based on the radio wave environment.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional mobile phone devices, service messages are visually notified to the user, which requires the user to visually confirm the displayed contents. However, there are problems in that it is not possible to fully check the display contents while driving, and it is dangerous.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile telephone device that allows a user to instantly and safely receive service messages.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention outputs service messages in the form of voice.

Effects of the present invention With the above configuration, the user can immediately confirm the message by voice, and the car phone device is safe because the user does not need to avert his/her line of sight while driving.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The diagram is
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the receiving section of the mobile telephone device according to the present invention.

In the figure, 1 indicates, for example, a battery (
A sensor circuit 2 for detecting the status of the remaining capacity of the mobile telephone device 2 (not shown) controls the entire mobile telephone device 2, and in particular receives information detected by the sensor circuit 1 and information from the base station (not shown). 3 is a memory circuit in which a program for the control circuit 2 as described below is stored in advance,
Reference numeral 4 denotes a voice synthesis circuit that synthesizes voice signals of service messages under the control of the control circuit 2.

The control circuit 2 and the voice synthesis circuit 4 constitute a voice unit for notifying the user of a service message by voice.

5 is a mixer circuit for mixing the voice signal of the other party from the base station and the voice signal synthesized by the voice synthesis circuit 4; 6 is a receiver for reproducing the voice signal of the other party from the mixer circuit 5; 7 is a speaker for reproducing the service message audio signal from the mixer circuit 5;
is a switch that selectively outputs the audio signal from the mixer circuit 5 to the receiver 6 or the speaker 7.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

In the figure, during a call, the control circuit 2 switches the switch 8 to the receiver 6 side according to a program stored in the memory circuit 3, so that the receiver 6 reproduces the voice signal of the other party.

On the other hand, when the sensor circuit 1 detects battery consumption or receives information from a base station (not shown), the control circuit 2
The block diagram stored in the memory circuit 3 determines whether the content is to be notified to the user or not, and if the content is to be notified to the user, the switch 8 is switched to the speaker 7 side,
The message code is output to the speech synthesis circuit 4. The voice synthesis circuit 4 synthesizes the voice signals of voice messages corresponding to this message code and outputs the synthesized voice signals to the mixer circuit 5.

This message can be, for example, a message that indicates that the user is located in a place where calls cannot be made or received by measuring the field strength of radio waves from a base station. Can be moved to a location.

Further, other messages include messages notifying the remaining battery power, and in the car telephone device, the user can receive this message without averting his/her line of sight while driving.

Therefore, according to the above embodiment, since the audio of the service message is played back by the speaker 7, the user can immediately confirm the message compared to the case where the service message is visually announced to the user as in the conventional example. In addition, the car phone device is safe because the user does not have to look away while driving.

Further, according to the above embodiment, since messages can be processed using digital signals, it is possible to broadcast information with less variation.

As described in detail, the present invention outputs a service message by voice, so the user can immediately confirm the message by voice. It is safe because there is no need to avert your eyes inside.
