2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, when a mobile telephone receives an incoming call, there is a ringer system that generates a well-known intermittent tone. There are also flash lighting methods in which the button part or LED blinks, and vibrator methods in which the exterior body etc. vibrate. With mobile telephones equipped with both of these systems, the user selects and uses one of the calling methods depending on the time and location. For example, if you are carrying it in your bag, select the ringing by sound,
Also, in offices, etc., avoid calling by sound and choose calling by flash light.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the calling device for a mobile phone according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the configuration in an embodiment. This signal processing section, not shown, is used to use the whip antenna 10 for both transmission and reception.
For example, a duplexer is connected, and the output end of this duplexer is connected to a receiving section 1 that performs processing such as amplification and frequency conversion.
2 and the output end of a transmitter 14 that performs frequency conversion, power amplification, and the like. Further, a well-known modem 16 that performs modulation and demodulation processing is connected to the output end of the receiving section 12 and the input end of the transmitting section 14. This modem 1
6 is further connected to a B channel processing unit 18 and a D channel processing unit 19 that perform decoding and encoding processing of formatted B channels and D channels in digital wireless public lines. Also, the B channel processing section 18
An earphone 23, which is a receiver for making a telephone call, and a microphone 21, which is a transmitter, are connected to the terminal.

An incoming call switching section 20 is connected to the B channel processing section 18 . This incoming call switching unit 20 selects whether to ring an incoming call using vibration, light emission, or sound, and
It performs signal generation, etc. A vibrator 22 for vibrating the exterior body of this device is connected to the incoming call switching section 20, and a light emitting section 24 using a light emitting element such as an LED and a ringer 26 using a bell are also connected. A signal processing section (not shown) is provided that operates the vibrator 22, the light emitting section 24, or the ringer 26 when an incoming call signal from the B channel processing section 18 is input. In addition, the incoming call switching unit 20
A selection switch SW1 for selecting the operation of the vibrator 22 or the light emitting section 24, and a ringer non-operation switch SW2 for turning on/off the operation of the ringer 26 are connected to. Also, the D channel processing section 19
is connected to a CPU 30 that controls the entire device.

[0009] The CPU 30 controls sending of telephone numbers and switching between on-hook and off-hook, and a keyboard (numeric keypad) 32 is connected thereto.
Furthermore, a display control section 34 is connected that performs signal processing to display the numbers of the telephone number input from the keyboard 32, on-hook, off-hook, and the like. An LCD 36 is connected to the display control unit 34 for displaying characters such as numbers of a telephone number, on-hook, and off-hook. Further, a vibration detection unit 40, which will be described in detail later, is connected to the CPU 30, and detects vibrations when a person carries this telephone, and transmits the detection signal Sp to the CPU 30.
Send to. The vibration detecting section 40 is connected to the vibration detecting section 40 by switching the resistor R4 connected to the power supply between grounding and non-grounding.
A setting switch SW3 is connected for supplying or not supplying power to 0, that is, for operating or not operating.

is connected.

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the vibration detecting section 40 in detail. In this vibration detection section 40, a bias setting resistor R1 is connected between the base of the transistor Tr and the ground. In addition, a variable resistor VR is connected between the base and the power supply line, and as will be explained later, this variable resistor VR is
Its resistance value changes. Further, a resistor R2 is connected between the collector of the transistor Tr and the power supply line, and a resistor R3 is further connected between the emitter and ground. The bias voltage of this transistor Tr changes as the resistance value of the variable resistor VR changes, and the voltage at the connection point between the resistor R2 and the emitter changes depending on its conduction (on) state. This voltage is converted into a digital signal by an A/D converter 50, and is further inputted to an arithmetic unit 52 to detect that the device is being carried by a person. This signal is supplied to the CPU 30 as a detection signal Sp that recognizes a person's mobile phone. This detection is performed as follows. For example, every 10ms, the difference between the previously input data and the current data is calculated, and if this difference is 2 bits or more, it is assumed that a movement has occurred due to the mobile phone, and then 100 or more times 200 times in 3 seconds. If a difference of 2 bits or more occurs, it is determined that the cell phone is a human cell phone. Note that the calculation process for this judgment is performed by the CPU.
It may be done at 30.

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of variable resistor VR. In this example, an arcuate resistor 61 is provided on an insulating substrate 60. A movable contact 62 is rotatably attached to the center of the resistor 61, and the movable contact 62 has an upper part 62a in contact with the resistor 61, and a lower part formed with a weight 62b. As a result, the movable contact 62
, the weight 62b is displaced in the m or n direction shown in the figure due to vibration when the telephone is carried by a person, and at this time, the upper part 62b
2a is also displaced, and the resistance value between the resistor 61 and the movable contact 62 changes. Note that the resistor 61 and the movable contact 62 are connected as a variable resistor VR shown in FIG.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, the user's usage status is detected and incoming calls are automatically set according to the usage status. In addition,
Here, it is assumed that the ringer non-operating switch SW2 is turned off to stop calling out the sound of the ringer 26. The user turns on the setting switch SW3. By turning on this setting switch SW3, when the telephone is stored in the pocket of the user's clothes and is being carried, a detection signal Sp is sent from the calculator 52 of the vibration detection unit 40 indicating that the person is carrying the phone.
is supplied to the CPU 30. When the detection signal Sp is supplied, the CPU 30 instructs the incoming call switching unit 20 to switch through the B channel processing unit 18. Here, since the user is carrying the device, the operation of the vibrator 22 is set. As a result, when an incoming call occurs, the vibration is directly transmitted to the user, and the user can easily recognize the incoming call.

[0013] Here, if the mobile phone is stopped after being taken out of the pocket of the user's clothes, the detection signal Sp becomes CP
No longer supplied to U30. In this case, the CPU 30 is
A switching instruction is given to the incoming call switching unit 20 through the channel processing unit 18. That is, the operation of the light emitting section 24 is set.

[0014] Next, the operation in the case of incoming call, ie, reception, will be explained. A radio wave of a calling signal from an exchange is transmitted from a wireless relay station, and this radio wave is input to a receiving section 12 through a whip antenna 10. After converting it into a predetermined digital signal, it is supplied to the modem 16 for demodulation processing, and this demodulated signal is input to the B channel processing section 18 and the D channel processing section 19. Here, the format B channel and D channel decoding and encoding processing in the digital wireless public line is performed. Then, the decoded signal from the D channel processing section 19 is input to the CPU 30 and the incoming call switching section 20, and the automatically set vibrator 22 is activated. This call causes the user of this telephone device to press the keyboard 32.
Press the on-hook switch to turn it on. This on signal is input to the CPU 30, and under control there, the off-hook state is switched to the on-hook state. This on-hook response signal is passed through the D channel processing section 19, and the modulated signal inputted to the modem 16 is inputted to the transmitting section 14. The transmitter 14 converts the signal into a predetermined frequency and power, and then transmits it through the whip antenna 10. These radio waves are received by a wireless relay station, and then connected to the called party via an exchange, allowing the call to be made.

After this, the B channel processing section 18 and the
A conversation is made using a speaker 20 and a microphone 21 connected to the channel processing section 18. In this case, a call signal is input to the modem 16 through the B channel processing section 18, and a modulated voice signal is input to the transmitting section 14. This transmitter 14 converts the signal into a predetermined frequency and power, and transmits it through the whip antenna 10. Further, the radio waves of the other party are supplied to the whip antenna 10, the receiving section 12, the modem 16, and the B channel processing section 18, and this communication signal is output as audio from the speaker 20. Then, at the end of the call, the off-hook switch on the keyboard 32 is pressed down to turn on, and this on signal is used to switch from the on-hook state to the off-hook state under the control of the CPU 30. That is, the call termination signal is transmitted through the D channel processing section 19, modem 16, transmitting section 14, and whip antenna 10 in the same manner as during the above-mentioned calling.

In the case of transmission, the user of the telephone device presses the off-hook switch on the keyboard 32 to turn it on, and the CPU 30 controls the switching from the off-hook state to the on-hook state, and sends the calling signal to the modem through the D channel processing section 19. 16, and the signal modulated here is transmitted to the transmitter 14.
Enter. The transmitter 74 converts the signal into a predetermined frequency and power, and transmits it through the whip antenna 10. These radio waves are received by a wireless relay station, and a line connection is established with the called party through an exchange. Subsequent calls are performed in the same manner as in the case of reception. The same applies to the end-of-talk operation.

[0017] If the incoming call is not automatically set, the setting switch SW3 is turned off and the vibration detecting section 40 is made inactive. In this case, due to the setting operation of the CPU 30, when there is an incoming call, the light emitting unit 2 is automatically
Select 4 to make a call using a flash. Here, if a sound ringing function is also provided, the ringer non-operation switch SW2 is turned off.

[0018] This telephone can also be used as a pedometer. In this case, the pedometer on/off switch SW4
When turned on, the CPU 30 controls the vibration of walking while carrying the device, that is, the detection signal Sp from the vibration detection section 40.
The number of steps is counted and the value is displayed on the LCD 36.

[Effects of the Invention] As can be understood from the above explanation, the calling device for a mobile phone of the present invention automatically vibrates a call due to an incoming call when a detection signal that detects vibration when a person is carrying the phone is obtained. If a detection signal is not obtained, the light is automatically selected for incoming calls, so the incoming calls are automatically set according to the usage status of the user, and the usage of the light is automatically set. This has the effect of improving convenience. Furthermore, the detection means is manually deactivated, and when the detection means is deactivated, the light emitting means is used to select an incoming call, making it possible to prevent malfunctions in a car with vibrations, for example, and increasing the convenience of use. It has the effect of improving
