2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the widespread use of portable terminals for wireless telephone devices, it has become common practice to make and receive calls outdoors anytime anywhere. However, when using the telephone in a public place, it is an unavoidable fact that the bell sound from the mobile terminal to others is gradually limited as noise.

A conventional portable terminal will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a circuit configuration of a conventional portable terminal.

A terminal control unit 2 which controls the portable terminal 1
A terminal wireless unit 3 that communicates with a base station device according to an instruction from the terminal control unit 2, an incoming call source unit 4 that generates an incoming call source at the time of an incoming call, and an incoming call tone that is connected to the incoming source unit 4. When the portable terminal 1 detects an incoming call via the terminal wireless unit 3, the terminal control unit 2 first controls the incoming call sound source unit 4 to output the incoming call ringing sound. Is generated, and the called party is made to recognize the incoming call sound through the ringing section 5.

When the caller stops the ringing tone, the ringing tone is stopped by pressing the call-in button 6 to perform the call-in process, and the call operation with the caller is started.

[0006]

However, in the above-described conventional configuration, when an incoming call is received, the called party performs the incoming call processing of the mobile terminal that has received the incoming call, and the caller is in a call state. If the incoming call tone continues to sound, and if you are not in a state where you can make a call at the place due to a current conference, etc., you must perform the incoming call process and disconnect silently. The caller had no idea why the line was disconnected.

It is also conceivable to move to a place where a call can be made and start a call, but the bell keeps ringing until it moves to that place, causing discomfort to the surroundings and making a call. Since the called party does not perform incoming call processing until the call moves, the called party remains in the call for a long time. I had the problem of disconnecting the line because I was absent or in a state where I could not receive an incoming call.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention can stop the ringing of the bell without moving to the call state by the incoming call processing and move to the place where the called party can talk to the calling party. An object of the present invention is to provide a wireless telephone device capable of recognizing this.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention controls a radio section for performing radio communication with a base station, an incoming call source section for sending out an incoming call tone, and a radio section. Message sending means for performing message sending control for sending a predetermined message, incoming call ringing stopping means for outputting a ringing stop instruction signal for giving an instruction to stop ringing from the incoming call sound source section, and the wireless section When a signal is received, control is performed to send an incoming call tone to the incoming call sound source section, and if the ringing stop instruction signal is output from the incoming call ringing stop means after this control, ringing from the incoming call sound source section is performed. And a control unit for controlling the message sending means to perform a predetermined message sending control.

[0010] Preferably, the predetermined message sent by the message sending means to the radio unit is present in a place where the called party is inconvenient for making a call, and is moving to a position where the call may be made. It is characterized by being a message to the effect that

Further, a base station that performs a public network interface that connects to the public network and a wireless interface that performs wireless communication, and a portable terminal that communicates with the public network by performing wireless communication with the base station are provided. The mobile terminal includes a wireless unit that performs wireless communication with the base station, an incoming call sound source unit that sends out an incoming call sound, and a ring stop instruction signal that gives an instruction to stop ringing from the incoming call sound source unit. Incoming call ringing stopping means, request signal sending means for controlling the wireless unit to send a request signal to the base station, and requesting when the wireless unit receives an incoming call signal from the base station. In addition to controlling the sound source unit to output a ringing tone, when the ringing stop signal is output from the ringing tone stopping unit after this control, the ringing from the ringing tone source unit is stopped. Request signal transmitting means The base station further includes a control unit for controlling request signal transmission, and the base station further controls the public network interface to transmit a predetermined message to the public network. A base control unit is provided for causing the message sending means to perform message sending control when a request signal from the terminal is received.

[0012]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure,
The called party can stop the ringing sound by operating the ringing stopping means and notify the calling party that the incoming call is confirmed. It is possible to prevent noise from being generated by continuing to sound, and it is not necessary to give up because the caller does not respond quickly, so it is unnecessary to repeat the call. It is possible to improve the service to users and reduce the traffic of the control channel.
