Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate malfunction owing to the mix of a radio frequency or the like by connecting a portable telephone set with an annunciator informing an incoming call by vibration through the use of a supersonic wave. SOLUTION: The portable telephone set 1 previously operates a display operation part 15 and selects an informing unit 2 as the informing means of an incoming signal. A supersonic wave generation part 13 operates and generates the supersonic wave by the incoming call signal through a control part 12. The informing unit 2 detects the supersonic wave by a supersonic wave detection part 21, operates a vibration part 23 through a control part 22 and vibrates the whole informing unit. A user putting on the informing unit 2 learns the incoming call by vibration and makes the call from the portable telephone set 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone system, and more particularly to a portable telephone system comprising a portable telephone and an incoming call notifying device attached to the portable telephone to notify an incoming call by vibration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A portable telephone system of this type is characterized by a means for notifying an incoming signal. When a normal ringing tone of a speaker is not desired to be ringing during a meeting or the like, a vibration instead of the speaker is felt. To notify the incoming call. However, when attaching this vibration source to the mobile phone body,
The body of the mobile phone is large enough to be worn on the body at all times, and it is good to hold it in your hand, but if you put it on a desk, put it in a bag, or put it in a pocket of your jacket, vibration will occur on your body. Hatred. For this reason, the mobile phone system is configured such that the vibrating body is miniaturized as a separate structure from the main body, so that the vibrating body can be worn on an arm like a wristwatch or put in an underwear pocket.

A conventional example of this type of portable telephone system is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-298351. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing this conventional example. FIG.
In this embodiment, the present system comprises a mobile phone 3 and a vibrator 4 attached thereto.

The portable telephone 3 includes a transmitting / receiving unit 31 for transmitting and receiving a call control signal and a communication signal to / from a base station (not shown), a control unit 32 for controlling the call control signal, and a speaker that rings when an incoming call is received. 34, or a start signal transmitting section 33 for generating a start signal to be sent to the vibrator 4, a display / operation section 35 for displaying and controlling transmission / reception signals, and an antenna 3 for communicating with a base station or the vibrator 4.
6.

The vibrator 4 includes a transmission / reception unit 41 for transmitting / receiving a control signal such as a start signal to / from the mobile phone 3, a start signal detecting unit 42 for detecting a start signal, a vibrating unit 43 vibrating according to the start signal, and stopping the vibration. Stop button 44
And an antenna 45.

The operation of this system is as follows.
In the mobile phone 3, when the speaker 34 is not sounded, the speaker stop button of the display operation unit 35 is pressed and put in advance. The unit 33 operates, and the activation signal is transmitted to the vibrator 4 via the transmitting / receiving unit 31 and the antenna 36.

In the vibrator 4, the transmitting / receiving section 41 receives a radio wave, the starting signal detecting section 42 detects a starting signal from the received signal, and activates the vibrating section 43.
Vibrates the whole. The vibration can be stopped by pressing the stop button 44. In this way, the incoming call signal is notified to the person carrying the vibrator 4, and the mobile phone 3 can make a call.

[0008]

As described above, in the prior art, the portable telephone uses radio waves of the same frequency band used for communication with the base station as means for transmitting the incoming call signal to the vibrator side. For example, when another mobile phone is nearby, there is a problem in that the radio wave is erroneously detected and the vibrator is driven.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A portable telephone system according to the present invention receives a call signal from a base station and issues a call signal indicating the arrival of the call signal, and receives the call signal. In a mobile phone system including a mobile phone that notifies an incoming call with a bodily sensation due to vibration, a mobile phone system including a call notification device having a different structure from the mobile phone, the mobile phone converts the incoming signal into ultrasonic waves, A means for detecting the ultrasonic wave in the notifying device.

[0010] The portable telephone may include a speaker, a vibrating means, and a means for converting to ultrasonic waves as means for notifying the incoming call signal, and a selecting means for selecting one of them.

Further, the incoming call notification device may have a waterproof structure.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the present system includes a mobile phone 1 and a notification device 2 attached thereto.

The portable telephone 1 includes a transmitting / receiving unit 11 for transmitting / receiving a call control signal and a call signal to / from a base station (not shown), a control unit 12 for controlling the call control signal, and a speaker that rings when an incoming call is received. 14. Vibrating part 16 that vibrates or ultrasonic wave transmitting part 13 that generates ultrasonic waves to be sent to the communicator 2.
And a display / operation unit 1 for displaying transmission / reception signals and performing control operations
5. An antenna 16 for communicating with the base station.

The notifying device 4 detects an ultrasonic wave from the mobile phone 1, an ultrasonic detecting unit 21, a control unit 22 for controlling each unit based on the detection signal, and operates and vibrates according to a control signal from the control unit 22. It comprises a vibrating section 43 and a stop button 24 for stopping vibration. The structure of the alarm 4 is a small sealed structure that can be easily attached to the body by attaching it to an arm or putting it in a pocket in underwear like a wristwatch.

The operation of this system is as follows.
In the portable telephone, any one of ringing the speaker 14 by the incoming call signal, vibrating the main body, or vibrating the annunciator 4 is selected by operating the display operation unit 15 in advance. In this state, the incoming call signal is
When the input is made, the speaker 14 sounds, the vibrating unit 16 is vibrated, or the ultrasonic wave generating unit 13 operates to generate ultrasonic waves according to an instruction from the control unit.

When the vibration of the alarm 2 is selected, the alarm 2
Detects this ultrasonic wave by the ultrasonic wave detecting section 21 and controls the control section 22
The vibrating unit 23 operates to vibrate the alarm 2 as a whole. This vibration can be stopped by pressing the stop button 24. In this way, the incoming call signal is sent to the alarm 2
Is notified to the user, and a call can be made from the mobile phone 3.

Normally, the mobile phone 1 and the alarm 2 are used within a distance of several meters within which the ultrasonic waves can reach, but if the alarm 2 is made waterproof, it can be used for water work or bathing. it can.

[0018]

As described above, in the portable telephone system according to the present invention, since the portable telephone is connected to the alarm for notifying the incoming call by vibration using ultrasonic waves, the portable telephone system uses the radio frequency to be mixed. There is an effect that there is no malfunction.
