Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cassette player-integrated type portable telephone in which a cassette player and a portable telephone are integrally formed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, mobile phones have been put into practical use with the development of mobile communication systems. On the other hand, in the case of commuting trains or business trips, the number of office workers who enjoy music and the like with a small cassette player represented by a walkman is increasing. That is, many people carry both a mobile phone and a small cassette player.

Now, when a person who carries both a mobile phone and a small cassette player hears a ringing sound of the mobile phone while listening to music on the cassette player, this person uses the phone. Often do not notice the ringing sound of. Therefore, when the owner of the mobile phone is contacted by telephone for an urgent business, the call may not be made.

[0004]

As described above, in the prior art, when a ringing tone of a mobile phone is emitted while listening to music or the like with a cassette player, it is often not noticed and important contact is made. There was a drawback that I could not.

Further, it is troublesome to carry the mobile phone and the cassette player separately, and there has been a demand for somehow to integrate them.

The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, and an object thereof is to integrate a cassette player and a mobile phone and listen to music on the cassette player. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cassette player integrated mobile phone capable of recognizing a ringing sound of the phone.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a cassette player and a mobile phone which are integrated with each other, and an earphone is connected to the player to reproduce sound.
And a voice output section for listening to a received sound from the other party's telephone, a voice output section for outputting the player reproduced sound, a received sound output section for outputting a ringing tone and a received sound from the other party's telephone, and the voice output section. And a changeover switch for selectively switching the output of the reception sound output section to output to the earphone side, and forcibly inputting the changeover switch when the call from the other party's telephone is received. It is characterized by having an output control section that switches to the section side.

[0008]

According to the above construction, when the telephone is called while listening to music by the cassette player, the music is cut off and the ringing tone is output from the earphone. Therefore, it is possible to immediately know that the call has been made, and to make a reliable response.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a portable telephone device integrated with a cassette player to which the present invention is applied (hereinafter referred to as "integrated device" for simplicity).
3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of FIG.

The integrated device 1 shown in FIG.
A cassette player 9, a sound output unit 7 for outputting a sound from the cassette player 9, a reception sound output unit 6 for outputting a ringing sound generated when the telephone 8 receives the received sound, and a reception sound from the partner telephone. , And the output of the voice output section 7 and the output of the received sound output section 6 are selectively switched to the terminals 3a, 3
switches 4a, 4b for outputting to b and each switch 4a,
The output control unit 5 controls the switching of 4b, and the switching unit 14 that gives a switching command to the output control unit.
The terminals 3a and 3b can be connected to the earphones 2a and 2b, respectively.

FIG. 2 is an external view of such an integrated device 1 and earphones 2. The integrated device 1 has a front panel on which a microphone 10 for inputting a voice to be transmitted, a dial button, a shortening, and a hook. There are provided operation buttons 11 and the like, and a liquid crystal display section 13 for displaying the current operation state, dials entered, and the like.

Further, the operation buttons 12 of the cassette player are arranged on the side surface, and the telephone / cassette player switching section 14 and the like are arranged on the upper side surface. In addition, the battery 1 on the back
5 is attached so that electric power is supplied to the integrated device 1.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the front panel is opened. In the figure, reference numeral 16 is a cassette holder for inserting a cassette tape, and reference numeral 17 is a reel for rotating the cassette tape.

FIG. 4 is a view of the integrated device as seen from the back side, and reference numeral 19 is a terminal for charging the battery 15. Further, reference numeral 20 is a hinge for opening and closing the front panel, and reference numeral 18 is a fixing fitting for fixing the main body side and the battery 15.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display example of the liquid crystal display section 13 shown in FIG. 2, where FIG. 5A is used as a telephone and FIG. 5B is used as a cassette player. It shows the state.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
When the integrated device 1 is used as a cassette player, if the switching unit 14 shown in FIG. 1 is set on the cassette player side, the switches 4a and 4b are input by the audio output unit 7 in response to a command from the output control unit 5. Switch to the side.

As a result, the sound output from the cassette player 9 is transmitted to the earphone 2 via the switches 4a and 4b.
It is supplied to a and 2b, and the owner can hear this voice (music, etc.). Now, when the telephone 8 is called while listening to the voice of the cassette player 9,
Upon receiving this signal, the output control unit 5 switches the contacts of the switches 4a and 4b to the reception sound output unit 6 side.

As a result, the sound from the cassette player 9 is cut off, and the earphones 2a and 2b are supplied with the ringing sound output from the reception sound output unit 6. Therefore, the owner can recognize that there is a call and can immediately make a call.

When the telephone 8 is used to transmit to the telephone of the other party, if the switching unit 14 is switched to the telephone side, the contacts of the switches 4a and 4b are instructed by the output control unit 5 so that the reception sound output unit. Since it is switched to the 6 side, the transmission sound from the other party's telephone is supplied to the earphones 2a and 2b, and the call becomes possible.

As described above, in this embodiment, since the ringing tone can be recognized even when listening to music using the cassette player, the music can be listened to without anxiety, and it is important. Never miss a contact.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, the ringing tone of the telephone can be heard even while listening to music on the cassette player. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the effect that the user can be surely notified when there is a call from the other party's telephone.
