Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily recognize the operation of vibrator setting by inputting the identification number of a separate vibrator and setting the function of a vibration pattern, etc., in a portable telephone. SOLUTION: ID is inputted by the operation of a key switch operating part 10 at a portable telephone 1 side. The portable telephone 1 transmits ID stored and set in a memory 9 by a radio transmitting/receiving part 6 from an antenna as feeble electric wave and it is transmitted to a vibrator 2 side. It is received by the antenna 12 and a receiving part 13 at the vibrator 2 side and ID included in feeble electric wave is stored in the memory 15. Then, an operating part 10 setting-inputs a vibration level and a time, etc. CPU 11 transmits a control signal to the vibrator 2 side with the antenna 3 after a fixed time and controls the rotation of a motor 16 so as to execute vibration by the set vibration pattern.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an incoming call notification system for a portable telephone for checking the operation of a separate vibrator which is provided separately from a portable telephone main body and notifies an incoming call by vibration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a mobile communication terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a cellular phone) such as a cellular phone or a PHS, a so-called vibrator-type incoming call notifying method has been proposed in which a ringing tone is notified when a call arrives. In this system, a ringing tone is used to notify only the person without disturbing others, and a motor provided inside the telephone is rotated, and the vibration is transmitted to the person himself / herself via a telephone case.

[0003]

However, since the conventional device has a built-in vibrator in the telephone body as described above, vibration cannot be sensed unless the telephone body is provided in close contact with a human body. This is ineffective in the fact that most people have it in their bags. On the other hand, so-called separate type vibrators, which are separate from the phone itself, have also been put into practical use, but these devices operate by detecting radio waves other than that of a mobile phone or operate upon receiving a call to another mobile phone. Or had a problem. For this reason, the applicant has transmitted an ID signal from the telephone set to the vibrator to determine the identity for controlling the vibrator, and vibrates the vibrator only when this ID signal matches a signal stored in the memory of the vibrator. Proposing system.

On the other hand, in the conventional separate type vibrator, since the vibrator and the mobile phone main body do not correspond to each other, the setting of the vibrator function can be performed only by the vibrator main body alone. Could not be verified.

[0005] For this reason, it has been difficult to confirm the operation of the setting easily, and it has been troublesome to set the vibration pattern of the vibrator by removing the vibrator from the body to operate the vibrator body. When a plurality of vibrators are possessed, it is necessary to make settings for each of the vibrators, which is troublesome.

An object of the present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily set and confirm the operation of a vibrator from a telephone body. .

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention relates to a method for confirming the operation of a separate vibrator which is provided separately from a mobile phone and operates by a control signal from the mobile phone. By providing a means for setting a function such as an input of an identification number of a separate vibrator and a vibration pattern on a mobile phone, and after setting the function by the setting means, the corresponding vibrator is vibrated by the set function by a control signal from the mobile phone. Checking operation.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining the configuration of the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a mobile phone, and 2 denotes a vibrator. The mobile phone 1 includes an antenna 3 for normal communication and for controlling a vibrator, a speaker 4, a microphone 5, a wireless transmission / reception unit 6, a display unit 7, a power supply unit 8, a memory 9, a key switch operation unit 10, and a CPU 11. ing.

A vibrator 2 includes a receiving antenna 12 for receiving a radio wave for controlling the vibrator, and a radio receiving unit 1.
3, a CPU 14, a memory 15, a motor 16 that rotates to vibrate the vibrator 2, a power supply unit 17, and a switch 18.

A user inputs an ID by operating the key switch operation unit 10 on the mobile phone 1 side. The mobile phone 1 sends out the ID stored in the memory 9 as a weak radio wave of 300 MHz by the wireless transmitting / receiving unit 6 by the antenna 3 and sends it to the vibrator 2 side.

On the vibrator 2 side, the signal is received by the antenna 12 and the radio receiving unit 13 and the CPU 14
Is stored in the memory 15. In this way, by operating the key switch operation unit 10 of the mobile phone 1, the ID setting to the mobile phone 1 and the vibrator 2
Can be set.

Next, the setting of the vibrator in the telephone according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 2 shows a case where the vibration pattern of the vibrator 2 corresponding to the mobile phone 1 is set on the mobile phone 1 side. The key switch operation unit 10 is used to input a vibration pattern such as the vibration level and time of the vibrator 2.
After the setting is input, the CPU 11 of the mobile phone 1
After a certain period of time, the timer transmits a vibrator control signal from the wireless transmission / reception unit 6 to the vibrator 2 via the antenna 3 to control the rotation of the motor 16 so as to vibrate in a set vibration pattern. As a result, when the vibration pattern is set, it is confirmed that the vibrators 2 corresponding to each other vibrate in the set vibration pattern and are set correctly.

FIG. 3 shows a case where a corresponding vibrator 2 is newly specified on a one-to-one basis in the mobile phone 1. This is a system having a function of making the vibrator 2 correspond to the mobile phone 2 by inputting an ID which is an identification number of the vibrator 2 to be associated with the function of the mobile phone 1 into the memory 9 of the mobile phone 1 by the key switch operation unit 9. At this time, when the ID number of the vibrator 2 to be corresponded is set in the mobile phone 1, the vibrator 2 vibrates in a vibration pattern set on the mobile phone 1 for a certain period of time so that the correspondence can be confirmed. It is something to do.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, the function setting such as the vibration pattern of the vibrator corresponding to the one-to-one correspondence which can be confirmed by the ID signal on the mobile phone is performed, and the function setting is performed. Since the operation can be confirmed by the operation of the vibrator, the operation of setting the vibrator can be easily confirmed.

Further, the vibration pattern of the vibrator can be set by operating the mobile phone without operating the vibrator main body while keeping the vibrator on the body. Further, it can be confirmed that the setting operation of the vibration pattern has been correctly performed by vibrating for a certain period of time with the vibration pattern set at the time of setting. In addition, in order to be able to easily identify the ID of the corresponding vibrator on a mobile phone
Even if you have multiple vibrators, you can easily identify multiple vibrators with your mobile phone.
It can be easily handled as needed. Since the operation check at the time of performing the ID setting can be performed simultaneously with the setting, it is not necessary to perform a separate checking operation.
