Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone device which can recognize an incoming call and can be used even when the user does not want to ring a ring tone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 shows a conventional portable telephone device. In this figure, a radio unit 2 is connected to an antenna 1 and modulates and demodulates a signal into a high frequency for transmission and reception. The signal processing unit 3 is connected to the wireless unit 2 as well as to the control unit 40, and digitally processes the signal under the control of the signal processing unit 3 to perform encoding and decoding. In addition, the voice input unit 5 is composed of a microphone or the like, which inputs voice,
The voice output unit 6 is composed of a speaker or the like, and notifies the voice,
They are connected to the signal processing unit 3. Further, a ringtone notification unit 7 (so-called ringer) is provided to notify the user of an incoming call.
Do with. The input unit 8 is a keyboard used when dialing a telephone number, and is used for inputting when used by other users.

On the other hand, the setting unit 9 for making an incoming call setting by a user input is a notification means other than the ringing tone notification unit 7, and is either a vibration alerting unit 10 for alerting by vibration or the ringing tone notifying unit 7. This is for making settings in order to make notification. Some vibration notification units 10 generally vibrate when the motor rotates due to the supply of voltage.

Therefore, by setting an incoming call in the vibration notification unit 10, it is possible to prevent others from being bothered.
In addition, since it can be kept secret, the user can carry the mobile phone device in a standby state without paying attention to other people.

Specifically, when the signal processing unit 3 detects an incoming call, the incoming call setting unit 9 determines whether or not the incoming call is received.
Notify you of incoming calls. In other words, if the setting is set to notify the ringtone, the ringtone notification unit 7 is driven when an incoming call is received,
If the notification is made by sound and the setting is set to the notification of vibration, the vibration notification unit 7 is driven at the time of incoming call to notify by vibration.

[0006]

However, in such a conventional example, despite the fact that the incoming call of the vibration is set in order to charge the rechargeable battery which supplies the voltage to the portable telephone device, When it is attached to the charger, it will vibrate when it is set in the charger due to an incoming call.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the vibration of the charger may cause it to drop from the stand on which the charger is placed, or the surface of the main body of the portable telephone device may be damaged. In addition, since the incoming call is only due to vibration, there is a problem that the user does not notice the incoming call because the user does not have it.

The present invention solves these problems.

[0009]

According to the present invention, there is provided a portable telephone device having means for notifying an incoming call, a ringing tone notifying means for notifying the incoming call by sound, and a vibration for notifying the incoming call by mechanical vibration. An informing means, a setting means for setting which of the means is used for the incoming call, a switching means for switching the notification of the incoming call to either the ring tone notification means or the vibration informing means by the setting of the setting means, and the main body A mobile telephone comprising: a switch unit that is provided on a base part for placing a switch, and that is switched by a magnetically coupled unit by the magnetic force; and a unit that selectively switches the switching unit depending on the state of the switch unit. Provided is a mobile phone device characterized in that when the mobile phone is mounted on the base part, the incoming call is made by the vibration notification means when the incoming call is made by the vibration notification means. It is intended to.

1 is a circuit block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

The mobile phone 100 is mounted and connected to the charger 20 to charge the internal rechargeable battery (not shown). The charger 20 has a non-interlocking part 21 which is a permanent magnet ideally having a magnetic force built in the charger 20 in advance.
The mobile phone 100 includes a switch unit 12 that is operated by the non-interlocking unit 21.

[0012] Normally, the mobile phone 100 is equipped with a charger 20.
When it is used after being removed, the user can make a call by receiving a call by the call receiving method set by the user as in the conventional example.

On the other hand, when the mobile phone 100 is mounted on the charger, both ends 12a and 12b of the reed switch, which is the switch unit 12, are driven by the magnetic force of the non-interlocking unit 21 having magnetic force.
Is magnetized, as shown in FIG. 2, the contact 1 at the center of the switch
2c and 12d are connected (as indicated by the dotted line) by the magnetic force.

Then, the control unit 4 detects that one end of the switch unit 12 is grounded by the ON operation of the switch unit 12 by the magnetic force, and notifies the vibrator unit 10 of the incoming call regardless of the incoming call setting of the user. In addition to invalidating the control signal for this, the control signal is set to be output to the ringtone notification section 7 at the time of the incoming call so that the ringtone notification section 7 performs the incoming call notification. In other words, by mounting the battery charger 20 on the mobile phone 100, the mobile phone 100 does not notify by vibration, but only the ringing tone.

Next, the operation will be specifically described with reference to FIG. When the mobile phone 100 detects an incoming call by the incoming call detection unit 4a of the control unit 4, the output of the incoming call switching unit 4b is selected by a signal from the setting unit 9 in order to notify in the setting state set by the setting unit 9.

First, a case where the setting unit 9 selects the sound notification of the incoming call will be described. At this time, the output of the incoming call switching unit 4b is switched to the incoming call sound notification unit 7 side, and when an incoming call is detected, the incoming call sound notification unit 7 gives a sound notification.

On the other hand, a case where the setting unit 9 selects the notification of the incoming call by vibration will be described. At this time, the output of the incoming call switching unit 4b is switched to the vibrating unit 10 side, and when an incoming call is detected, a control signal is transmitted to the driving unit 10a of the vibrating unit 10 via the resistor 4d to drive the driving unit 10b, The drive unit 10b gives notification by vibration.

With this, when the user does not want to receive the incoming call by the ring tone, for example, when the user is in a place where an unnecessary sound such as a movie theater or a theater is in the way, the incoming call is recognized in the vibration mode. be able to.

Further, according to the present invention, the following processing is performed when the battery pack is attached to the charger 20 in order to be charged by the user or to be kept when not carried.

This process is performed by the mobile phone 10 to the charger 20.
By attaching 0, the magnetic force of the non-interlocking portion 21 is changed to the switch portion 12
Is turned on, and point C has the same potential as ground (that is, zero potential).
To Then, when the output of the incoming call switching unit 4b is switched to the vibrating unit 10 side, it is forcibly dropped to the zero potential via the resistor 4d. As a result, the comparison detection unit 4c causes the point A
Since the control signal at the point B (same as the point C) is not detected despite the presence of the control signal at, the fact that the charger 20 is attached is detected. When the detection result is output to the incoming call switching unit 4b, the incoming call notification unit 7 is activated regardless of the incoming call notification mode (ringtone / vibration) set by the setting unit 9.
Control signal to the output side.

Here, the resistor 4d is for protection so that when the point B (point C) is grounded via the switch section 12, the output of the switching section 4b is not directly grounded.

Therefore, even if the user sets the mobile phone 100 attached to the charger 20 to the vibration mode for the incoming call, when the incoming call is received, the incoming call alert section 6 gives a sound alert. You can

After that, the charger 20 to the portable telephone 100
When you attach and detach the, the influence of the magnetic force of the non-interlocking part 21 disappears
The switch unit 12 is turned off. Thereby, the point C can pass the control signal from the incoming call switching unit 4b, and in the vibration mode, the incoming call can be notified by vibration.

That is, the charger 20 to the mobile phone 100
When you put on and take off, it returns to the set incoming mode, so
The user can use it as it is without making any settings again.

Since the point B and the point C are separated, the vibrating section 10 and the switch section 12 for controlling the vibrating section 10 are connected to the mobile phone 1.
Even if it is separate from 00, only one connection is required for this case, and the design is not particularly limited. Therefore, it goes without saying that the points B and C may be the same point.

Next, the state transition of the incoming call mode of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This is when the present invention is implemented by software.

First, in step S1, it is determined whether the incoming call mode is set by the user by vibrating or ringing tone. In step S2, the incoming call mode is set as the vibrating mode. In S3, setting is made so that the incoming call mode corresponds to the ring tone mode.

In the initial state, the ring tone mode is set.

Next, in step S4, it is detected whether or not it is attached to the charger 20, and if it is not attached, step 1
Return to On the other hand, if it is attached, the process proceeds to step S5, and the incoming call mode is set to the ring tone mode. Then, these steps are repeated until the attachment of the charger 20 is released (attached / detached) (step S6).

When the mounting of the charger 20 is confirmed to be released (attached / detached), the incoming mode is returned to the mode before the mounting of the charger in step S7, and the process returns to step S1.

Therefore, the incoming call mode of the mobile phone of the present invention can be freely set by the setting of the user, but is set to the ring tone mode only while it is attached to the charger.

Next, referring to Table 1, another embodiment will be described. The same circuit block as in Figure 1 can be used.

[0033]

[Table 1]

Table 1 is a list showing the incoming call modes when the mobile phone is attached to the charger or at other times. This incoming call is notified by sound, vibration,
There are notifications by vibration and sound, and notifications of no setting. In any of these cases, the brightness of the display unit 11 changes depending on the incoming call, and in addition to the notification of each incoming call that there is an incoming call, the incoming call notification can be performed by expressing the brightness. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the incoming call by expressing the brightness even if the notification is not made.

In the present invention, the incoming call notification by sound not including the vibration notification and the non-setting notification are carried out by the charging / discharging of the charger.
The notification is given in the set state regardless of whether it is attached or detached. However, since the two notification methods including the notification of vibration make the notification of vibration a notification of sound when the battery is attached to the charger, the notification of vibration and the notification of vibration and sound are switched to notification of sound.

Therefore, even if vibration is set, if the battery is attached to the charger, the sound is notified of the incoming call, so that the user can recognize the incoming call by sound when the battery is attached to the charger.

Further, when the battery pack is detached from the charger, the switch section 12 is released, and the incoming call is set in the mode set by the user, so that the user does not need to make the setting again.

Therefore, it can be applied to some incoming modes including the vibration mode as in the other embodiments, and the damage of the charging stand and the damage of the mobile phone body are less likely to occur.

[0039]

According to the present invention, the user can arbitrarily set the ringing mode of the portable telephone by the setting means, and the vibration mode can be set as the ringing mode when the battery is attached to the charger. Can be notified as
You can select the incoming call mode depending on the place of use, and when it is attached to the charger, the vibration mode becomes the ringtone mode, so there is no drop due to the vibration of the charger.

Further, according to the present invention, by detaching the mobile phone from the charger, it is possible to perform the notification in the incoming mode set by the user, without resetting the incoming mode.

Further, according to the present invention, since the switch portion composed of the reed switch is used, it is possible to provide a portable telephone device which is non-contact and does not impair the appearance.

Further, it can be applied to some incoming modes including the vibration mode as in the other embodiments, and the damage of the charging stand and the damage of the main body of the mobile phone are less likely to occur.
