[0005]

However, according to the small electronic equipment system disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-165787, time data transmitted wirelessly is received, and an accurate schedule time is always reported. When notifying the schedule time on the screen, there is a problem that the user does not notice the notification of the schedule time because the display screen is not clearly seen during a call. In addition, the schedule time displayed on the display screen is checked after the call is over, and the user often forgets to check the schedule time.

Further, according to the notification device for small electronic equipment disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 6-12990, the driving force of one DC motor is switched between the vibration of the bell member and the vibration of hitting the weight, and the alarm time is determined by sound or vibration. Has the advantage that the number of parts can be reduced. However, when this notification device is applied to a composite portable information terminal, there is a problem that the built-in battery is quickly consumed because both the alarm sound and the alarm vibration are performed by the driving force of one DC motor.

The clock unit 8, the vibration unit 9, and the like are housed in the main body.

For example, the alarm sound may be annoying depending on the surrounding environment, the alarm vibration may not be noticed unless the user touches the body, and the alarm sound and the alarm vibration may quickly drain the battery. Therefore, the user can stop the notification by the alarm sound or the alarm vibration as necessary and set the notification to only the alarm display. However, the user presses the speaker 4a of the portable information terminal shown in FIG. 2 against his / her ear to confirm the alarm time set during the call with the transmission partner even if the alarm time is displayed on the display panel 10a. Can not.

Therefore, in this embodiment, even when the alarm time notification mode is set only to display the alarm on the display panel 10a, the alarm sound from the speaker 4a or the vibrator when the alarm time comes during communication. 9a
It is configured to notify the user that the alarm time has come due to the vibration of. After the call, the alarm time set by the user and the related information are displayed on the display panel 1.
0a.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a setting screen of the alarm time and the notification mobile phone according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the alarm time notification mode includes an alarm display, an alarm sound,
There are seven types that combine three types of alarm vibration (30
3). The notification modes 31 to 37 are set when an alarm time (~ year-month-day-hour-minute) is input by the key input unit 2 on the setting screen of the display unit 10 (30).
2). The notification mode during a call is also configured to be selectable by a combination of an alarm sound and an alarm vibration (see 301).

The setting of the alarm time and the notification mode is performed, for example, on a setting screen on an application such as a schedule.
Stored in AM6. The alarm display stores character information such as alarm time and schedule, the alarm sound also stores information such as the interval and frequency, and the alarm vibration stores information such as the interval and the number of vibrations. When the set alarm time comes, the control unit 5
Thus, the setting information is read from the RAM 6, the alarm sound is output from the sound output unit 4, the alarm vibration is output from the vibration unit 9, and the alarm display is output from the display unit 10, respectively.

Further, there are three types of settings for the alarm time notification mode during a call: alarm sound, alarm vibration, or alarm sound + alarm vibration. One of them is set so that the user can select it as necessary. Further, since not all setting of the alarm time notification mode shown in FIG. 3 is necessary, for example, a notification mode of a combination of alarm display + alarm sound or alarm display + alarm vibration may be configured.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the structure of the vibrating section of the present invention and the driving signals supplied to the vibrating section. FIG. 4 (a)
Vibrator 9a composed of motor 91 and striking mechanism 92
And a driving section 9b for driving a vibrator 9a. The drive circuit 9 b receives a drive signal for notifying the incoming or alarm time from the control unit 5 and supplies a drive voltage to the motor 91. The motor 91 vibrates the main body by a hitting mechanism by a driving force of a rotating body fixed to a motor shaft.

FIG. 4B shows drive signals (alarm signal, incoming signal) supplied to the vibrating section. The horizontal axis indicates the time axis (T), and the alarm signal and the incoming signal have different output intervals (t1 + t2) and different numbers (n). Therefore, the vibration differs between the incoming call notification and the alarm notification, and the user can distinguish between the incoming call notification and the alarm time notification.

In this example, there are two types of drive signals supplied to the drive circuit: an incoming call notification and an alarm notification. However, it is also conceivable to increase the types of drive signals so that the details of the alarm notification can be finely distinguished. Therefore, the user can determine the notification of the incoming call and the alarm time by the output interval and the number of vibrations. In addition, the generation of the alarm vibration is performed only by changing the drive signal using the vibrator 9a that notifies the incoming call, and there is almost no addition of parts.

Similarly, an alarm signal notifying an alarm time by a sound and an incoming signal notifying an incoming call are output from the control unit 5 to the drive circuit of the speaker 4a by changing the output interval and frequency. By using the speaker 4a of the audio output unit 4 and changing the drive signal, an alarm function can be added without adding components.

That is, when making a call, the on-hook operation is performed by the key input unit 2 and when the call is ended, the off-hook operation is performed by the key input unit 2. It can be determined by on-hook information or off-hook information.

If it is determined that the user is not talking, the process proceeds to step S5 to output alarm time information to the display unit. Here, it is assumed that the notification mode by the alarm display is set. If a call is in progress, an alarm time due to sound or vibration is notified for a predetermined time (step S7), and the process proceeds to step S5.
