Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention, when an incoming call is received by a mobile phone or the like, notifies the user of the incoming call even if the ringing tone of the mobile phone or the like is in the erased state. The present invention relates to an incoming call notification device capable of giving a warning of misplacement of the mobile phone or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, mobile phones and personal handy phone systems (PHS) (hereinafter, referred to as mobile phones, etc.) have rapidly spread, and often come into contact with scenes used in various scenes. ing.

Further, with respect to the above-mentioned mobile phones and the like, improvements have been made and conversation quality has been improved, and the size and weight have been reduced, but it is still difficult to store them in a suit pocket or the like. Since a large battery, especially a battery having a large capacity, is bulky, many users carry a mobile phone or the like in a bag or the like. Therefore, depending on the distance from the bag or the like, the ambient noise, or the like, the ring tone of the mobile phone or the like may not be heard.

Further, in public places such as movie theaters and trains, the ring tone of a mobile phone or the like is often annoying to others. However, in such a case, the ring tone of a mobile phone or the like cannot be heard.

Therefore, recently, an incoming call notification device for a mobile phone or the like has been developed and is being put on the market, even in the above-mentioned cases, when it is known that a mobile phone or the like has received an incoming call.

When an incoming call is received by a mobile phone or the like, the incoming call notification device such as the mobile phone or the like is transmitted by the mobile phone or the like to identify the mobile phone or the like and its position, and use the data for calculating charges. A ring tone is heard by receiving and detecting a radio wave (hereinafter, called an incoming radio wave) and notifying it to the user (in consideration of use in a public place, vibration is often used by a vibrator). The user can be notified of an incoming call even if there is no such item or the item has been deleted. However, such a conventional product has a drawback.

[0007]

That is, since the conventional incoming call notification device for a mobile phone or the like receives and detects the incoming radio wave itself transmitted by the mobile phone or the like, it also detects the incoming radio wave sent by another person's mobile phone or the like. Therefore, in order to avoid confusion due to detection of incoming radio waves from other people's mobile phones, etc., the reception sensitivity has been significantly reduced (specifically about 1 m maximum), and incoming calls from mobile phones, etc. If there is any obstacle between the alarm device and the mobile phone, etc., the receiving sensitivity is further lowered, so that it is difficult to detect the incoming radio wave in many cases.

Of course, since the incoming radio wave is used for charge calculation and the like, it originally contains information peculiar to the mobile phone or the like, but on the other hand, it is highly likely that it will be misused. Therefore, the peculiar information is not disclosed. Therefore, the conventional incoming call notification device such as a mobile phone has no choice but to detect the incoming call signal itself as described above, and avoid the above inconvenience. Can not.

Further, when an incoming call is expected to a mobile phone, etc., the user places the mobile phone, etc. nearby.
It is often called so-called waiting, but it is said that as time goes by, it is not uncommon to forget that the mobile phone or the like is placed nearby and leave it as it is.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and even if the ring tone of a mobile phone or the like is erased or the mobile phone or the like is far away, It can notify that there is an incoming call, and it will not operate if there is an incoming call on another mobile phone, etc. In addition, the distance from the mobile phone etc. It was made for the purpose of providing an incoming call notification device such as a mobile phone that can issue a warning when it is vacant naturally.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a cellular phone or the like, and 2 is a detection / transmission unit 3 and a reception / notification unit 4 which are separately formed. An incoming call notification device for mobile phones, etc.
With respect to the incoming call notification device 2 of the mobile phone or the like of the present invention, even if the ring tone of the mobile phone 1 or the like is erased or the distance from the mobile phone 1 or the like is long, the mobile phone 1 The incoming call notification device 2 of the mobile phone or the like of the present invention is the same as the conventional product in that the incoming call can be notified to the device 1 or the like.

The detection / transmission unit 3 comprises a reception antenna 5, a bandpass filter 6 and a detection section 7,
A reception detection unit 9 that receives and detects an incoming radio wave 8 transmitted by the mobile phone or the like when an incoming call is received by the mobile phone or the like 1,
A reception radio wave transmission unit 1 including a radio transmitter 10 and a transmission antenna 11, which transmits a reception radio wave 12 indicating that the incoming radio wave 8 has been received based on the output of the reception detection unit 9.
3 and a unique signal sending unit 14 for sending a first unique signal and a second unique signal including unique information corresponding to the incoming call notification device 2 based on the output of the reception detecting unit 9. (Note that the power supply etc. are omitted).

In this embodiment, the unique signal transmitting section 14 is used.
Is output to the reception radio wave transmission unit 13, which causes the reception radio wave transmission unit 13 to modulate the carrier wave in the radio wave 12 with the first proper signal and / or the second proper signal. It also functions as a unique radio wave transmission unit that transmits to the notification unit. Of course, the configuration of the detection / transmission unit 3 in the present invention is not limited to this, and a unique radio wave transmission unit is provided separately from the reception radio wave transmission unit 13, and the output of the unique signal transmission unit 14 is You may give it.

Further, the detection / transmission unit 3 of the present invention may use a plurality of radio waves corresponding to each of the first unique signal and the second unique signal. In such a case, The first eigen signal and the second eigen signal may be different, but the first eigen signal and the second eigen signal may be the same. Further, for example, if the modulation times are different, the first unique signal and the second unique signal can be the same, and the radio waves can be one type.

According to the present invention, the first information including the unique information (for example, the number of digits) corresponding to the incoming call notification device 2 is provided.
In consideration of the fact that the incoming radio wave 8 itself transmitted from a mobile phone or the like cannot be generally identified as a unique one to the mobile phone or the like, as will be described later, this peculiar signal of The first unique signal is used for identification, and therefore the first unique signal is received by the reception radio wave transmission unit 1 at least when the reception detection unit 9 receives and detects the incoming radio wave 8.
It suffices to configure so that the data is sent to the device 3.

Further, according to the present invention, the second unique signal including the unique information (for example, the number of digits) corresponding to the incoming call notification device is used when the mobile phone is waiting for reception. In consideration of the fact that things may be left behind,
As will be described later, the case where the second unique signal cannot be received is assumed to be a misplaced state. Therefore, the second unique signal is continuously transmitted to the reception radio wave transmission unit 13. It may be configured, or may be configured to intermittently deliver at an appropriate interval.

The types of the first and second unique signals are not particularly limited as long as they are unique between the detection / transmission unit 3 and the reception / notification unit 4.

On the other hand, the receiving / notifying unit 4 comprises a receiving antenna 15 and a radio receiver 16, and has a receiving section 17 for receiving the received radio wave 12 and a first specific signal and / or the first specific signal in the received radio wave 12. Unique signal detecting unit 18 for detecting the second unique signal, receiving unit 17, and unique signal detecting unit 1
On the basis of the output of 8, when the received radio wave 12 is received and the first unique signal is detected, the notification means 19 indicates that the received radio wave 12 has been received, that is, the mobile phone 1 or the like has received a call. In addition to the above, when the second unique signal is not detected, the state is presumed to be misplacement of the mobile phone 1 or the like, and the notifying unit 19 also notifies the state by the notifying means 19 (the power supply unit is included. Etc. are omitted).

As the notification means 19 of the notification unit 20,
Specifically, a notification device represented by a buzzer, an LED, or the like can be adopted, but in view of the possibility of use in a public place, a vibration generated by a vibrator (vibration generator) similar to that of a conventional product is used. It is preferable to use. It should be noted that when the received radio wave 12 is received and the first peculiar signal is detected (when there is an incoming call to the mobile phone 1 or the like), and when the second peculiar signal is not detected (it is assumed to be misplaced). In some cases, different notification means 19 (for example, a vibrator and an LED) may be activated.

Further, the notifying unit 20 may operate the notifying means 19 for a predetermined time, for example, when the second unique signal is not detected in the predetermined time.

Further, since the frequency of the incoming radio wave 8 varies depending on the mobile phone or the like, the reception detecting section 18 is appropriately configured so as to match the target mobile phone or the like 1.

In the incoming call notification device such as the mobile phone of the present invention configured as described above, when the mobile phone 1 receives an incoming call, the incoming radio wave 8 transmitted by the mobile phone 1 is
The signal is received by the reception antenna 5 in the reception detection unit 9 of the detection / transmission unit 3, selected by the bandpass filter 6, and then detected by the detection unit 7. When the incoming radio wave 8 is received and detected, it indicates that the incoming radio wave 8 has been received based on the outputs of the reception detecting unit 9 and the unique signal sending unit 14, and includes the first unique signal. The reception radio wave 12 is transmitted from the reception radio wave transmission unit 13 including the radio transmitter 10 and the transmission antenna 11.

Then, the radio wave 1 including the second unique signal
2 ′ (the carrier wave is the same as the received radio wave 12) is continuously or intermittently transmitted from the received radio wave transmission unit 13.

The reception radio wave 12 (and 12 ′) transmitted from the transmission section 13 of the detection / transmission unit 3 is received by the reception antenna 15 in the reception section 17 of the reception / notification unit 4, and then received by the radio receiver 16. To be detected. When the unique signal detection unit 18 detects the first unique signal or the second unique signal in the received radio waves 12 (and 12 ′), the notification unit 20 is provided with an output to that effect.

In the notification unit 20, as a first aspect, when the first unique signal is detected, and when the mobile phone 1 or the like receives an incoming call, the notification unit 19 such as a vibrator is used. Is activated to inform that the mobile phone 1 or the like has received a call.

On the other hand, the second unique signal in the radio wave 12 'is
When the unique signal detecting unit 18 is constantly monitored via the receiving unit 17 of the receiving / notifying unit 4 and the second unique signal is not detected in the received radio wave 12 ′, for example, for a predetermined time, an output to that effect is output. It is given to the notification unit 20.

Then, as a second mode, the notification unit 20 pretends that the second unique signal is not detected, and operates the notification unit 19 such as a vibrator to cause the notification unit 20 to be left behind. It is designed to notify the state.

Thus, in the incoming call notification device such as the mobile phone of the present invention, the detection / transmission unit 3 and the reception / notification unit 4 are provided.
Since they are formed separately, the detection / transmission unit 3 can be arranged close to the mobile phone 1 etc. regardless of the reception / notification unit 4, and as a result, the detection / transmission unit 3 Sensitivity can be weakened to the extent that only the incoming radio wave 8 transmitted from the mobile phone 1 or the like that is close by can be detected. Therefore, as in the conventional product, it can be carried by another person at a far distance compared to the above. Even in a place where multiple mobile phones may be used without detecting the incoming radio waves transmitted from the telephones, etc., only the incoming radio waves 8 from a predetermined mobile phone etc. are detected and It is possible to notify that there is an incoming call.

Further, in the incoming call annunciator such as the cellular phone of the present invention configured as described above, the first unique signal in the detection / transmission unit 3 is detected by the reception / informing unit 4 together with the incoming radio wave 12. Only in such a case, the notification unit 20 operates. Therefore, by merely disposing the detection / transmission unit 3 in the vicinity of the mobile phone 1 or the like, it is not possible to completely detect the incoming radio wave transmitted by another person's mobile phone or the like. Even if it cannot be prevented, false notifications will not be given by the incoming radio waves transmitted from other people's mobile phones.

Of course, in the incoming call notification device of the mobile phone or the like of the present invention, since the detection / transmission unit 3 can be arranged in the vicinity of the mobile phone 1 or the like, there is some obstacle between the detection / transmission unit 3 and the mobile phone 1 or the like. However, unlike conventional products, they are not adversely affected.

Further, in the incoming call notification device such as the mobile phone of the present invention, the detection / transmission unit 3 and the reception / notification unit 4 are provided.
The reception / notification unit 4 does not detect the incoming radio wave 8 of the mobile phone 1 but the detection / notification unit 4 because they are formed separately.
Received radio waves 12 (and 12 ') transmitted by the transmission unit 3
Will be received and therefore the detection / transmission unit 3
By improving the transmission output of and / or the reception sensitivity of the reception / informing unit 4, the range of use as an incoming call notification device such as a mobile phone can be remarkably expanded as compared with the conventional product.

Furthermore, in the incoming call notification device such as the cellular phone of the present invention configured as described above, when the second unique signal in the detection / transmission unit 3 is not detected by the reception / notification unit 4, the notification unit is provided. Since 20 operates, it is possible to know that the mobile phone or the like has been separated from the mobile phone to some extent, so that the mobile phone or the like will not be left behind even if a long waiting time continues.

It is expected that if the size of a mobile phone or the like becomes smaller, it will not be an obstacle even if it is housed in a pocket of a suit or the like. In such a case, the usefulness of the detection / transmission unit is reduced. In such a case, the reception detection unit 9 and the reception radio wave transmission unit 13 in the detection / transmission unit are output by the mobile phone or the like when the mobile phone or the like receives an incoming call. Based on an incoming signal, an incoming signal indicating that an incoming call has been received by the mobile phone or the like is transmitted to a receiving / notifying unit configured in the same manner as described above. It may be built in a mobile phone or the like.

With the above configuration, the reception radio wave transmitting unit emits the reception radio wave only when the mobile phone or the like receives an incoming call, so that the reception radio wave from another person's mobile phone or the like can be detected. Since this can be completely prevented, there will be no false notification by an incoming radio wave transmitted by another person's mobile phone or the like.
