In this conventional mobile telephone, when the incoming call is received, the user responds by operating some key. Therefore, the main body of the mobile telephone is put in the inner pocket of the jacket and the headset is put on. When I received a call while I was carrying it to my ear, I had to put my hand in my inner pocket and perform key operation.

Therefore, although both hands can be freely used because the headset is placed on the ears, it is necessary to use the hands to perform key operation when receiving a call, which is very inconvenient. .

In addition, a mobile phone having an automatic answering function that automatically enters a hands-free call after receiving the number of ringing tones preset by the owner when receiving a call, is always worn by the wearer. It doesn't always mean that if you happen to leave your mobile phone on your desk and the call is received when the owner is not nearby, you will automatically answer. Therefore, there is a problem in that the caller makes a call after confirming that the other party has answered, but the other party is silent (the other party is not present), which is an inconvenient state.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone with an automatic answering function that automatically answers an incoming call only when the wearer wears the mobile phone to which the headset is connected, and does not automatically answer otherwise. To do.

According to the present invention, a headset connection detecting means for detecting whether or not a headset is connected, and an in-carrying detection for detecting whether or not a mobile phone body is worn by a wearer. Means, an automatic response setting means for setting an automatic response to the incoming call when an incoming call is received, and the automatic response is set only when the headset is connected at the time of an incoming call and the mobile phone is worn by the wearer. It is possible to obtain a mobile phone with an automatic response function, characterized in that it is provided with a control means for enabling it.

Further, there is provided a portable telephone with an automatic response function, wherein the in-carrying detecting means determines by the pyroelectric sensor that the portable person wears the portable telephone body.

Further, the headset connection detecting means determines that the headset is connected when it is detected that the headset plug is inserted, so that a mobile phone with an automatic response function can be obtained. .

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a mobile phone with an automatic response function of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the mobile phone with an automatic response function of this embodiment has an antenna 1 for receiving a radio wave from a radio base station, and guides the received radio wave to a receiver 3 and transmits it from a transmitter 4. Shared device 2 that guides radio waves to antenna 1
And a signal processing unit 5 for processing a transmission / reception signal of the mobile phone.
And a change-over switch 6 for switching the connection between the signal processing unit 5 and the handset 7 or the headset 9, and a head which determines that the headset 9 is connected when it is detected that the headset plug is inserted. The set connection detection unit 8, the ring tone generation unit 10 that generates a ring tone when the mobile phone receives a call, and outputs the ring tone to the speaker 11, and transmits the key information operated by the owner of the mobile phone to the control unit 14. The operation unit 12 and the in-carrying detection unit 1 for detecting that the owner of the mobile phone wears the mobile phone body.
3 and a control unit 14 that controls all of the mobile phone body
And

A so-called pyroelectric sensor is used for the in-car detection unit 13, and 10 μ emitted from the human body is used.
It is a sensor that detects infrared rays around m in a non-contact manner. For example, model number P2288 manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics KK is used.

Radio waves from the radio base station received by the antenna 1 are guided to the receiver 3 through the duplexer 2.

This received signal is subjected to signal processing in the signal processing unit 5 and then passed through the changeover switch 6 to the handset 7
The voice is output from the handset of.

On the other hand, the voice signal input from the transmitter of the handset 7 is guided to the signal processing unit 5 through the changeover switch 6, and after the signal processing unit 5 performs the signal processing according to the instruction of the control unit 14, It is transmitted from the antenna 1 through the transmitter 4 and the duplexer 2.

The headset connection detector 8 detects whether or not the headset plug of the headset 9 is inserted, and sends the detection result to the controller 14.

The changeover switch 6 switches the connection with the signal processing unit 5 to the handset 7 side or the headset 9 side according to an instruction from the control unit 14.

Further, the ring tone generating section 10 outputs the ring tone to the speaker 11 according to an instruction from the control section 14.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail.

The control unit 14 checks whether or not the data signal processed by the signal processing unit 5 includes an incoming signal addressed to its own station. When the incoming signal addressed to its own station is detected, the ring tone generation unit 1
A ring tone is generated by instructing 0, and the ring tone is output from the speaker 11.

When the ring tone sounds a predetermined number of times by the owner of the mobile phone, for example, when the mobile phone has sounded twice, an output signal indicating that the mobile phone is being carried is output from the carrying-in-progress detection unit 13 and the headset is connected. When the output signal indicating that the headset 9 is connected is output from the detection unit 8, the control unit 14 enables the automatic response, stops the generation of the ring tone from the ring tone generation unit 10, and The changeover switch 6 is controlled to switch the connection with the signal processing unit 5 to the headset 9 side, and the caller and the mobile phone carrier carry out a call.

If the ringing tone sounds twice, an output signal indicating that the mobile phone is not being carried is output from the carrying state detection section 13, or the headset 9 is connected from the headset connection detection section 8. When the output signal indicating that there is no output is output, the control unit 14 invalidates the automatic response, continues the generation of the ring tone from the ring tone generation unit 10, and waits for key press information from the operation unit 12.

Then, when the owner of the mobile phone manually presses the incoming call key or any key, the incoming call tone from the incoming call tone generating section 10 is stopped and the call is started.

At this time, the change-over switch 6 changes over to the headset 9 side as shown by the broken line if the output signal of the headset connection detecting section 8 indicates that the headset 9 exists.
Further, if no headset is shown, it is switched to the handset 7 side as shown by the solid line.
