Reference numeral 13 denotes a modulation / demodulation unit, and 14 denotes an amplification unit. PH of this embodiment
S is configured as described above.

Next, the schematic operation of transmitting and receiving the PHS configured as described above will be described. First, when performing a transmission operation with a destination, a transmission button in the key operation unit 1 is operated, and for example, an input is performed while confirming a destination dial number on the display unit 2. As a result, the dial signal is input to the voice timing processing / protocol control unit 10 via the control unit 3 and is added with a call request signal and the like to be converted into a predetermined data string by time division multiplexing processing and modulated. After being further modulated to a high frequency in the modulation / demodulation section 13 and amplified by the amplifier 14, the data is transmitted to the nearest base station and the exchange through the antenna 9, and the data sequence transmitted in the exchange is transmitted to the transmission source. Is added and transmitted to the other party's PHS.

Next, the operation of the receiving side will be described. still,
Here, for convenience of explanation, the PHS of the receiving side has the same configuration as that of FIG. 1, and therefore, for convenience of explanation, the PHS of the other party will be described with reference to FIG.

The information transmitted from the exchange enters the control unit 3 as a call request signal via the respective components from the antenna 9 sequentially. By performing the following control processing, the light emission drive unit 5 is driven, and the LED of a predetermined color in the light emission unit 6 emits light.
When the bell drive 7 is turned on, the bell 8

To be displayed. Then, after this, the receiving side operates the reception button of the key operation unit 1 so that
A communication line with the other party is formed, so that mutual communication is possible.

To transmit character information by P-mail, the user selects a P-mail transmission mode button, inputs character information from the key operation unit 1, and then transmits the P-mail in any transmission mode. Make a choice. That is, when information is received at the other party's PHS, in the mode for selecting how to call the other party, for example, a mode selection of an automatic disconnection mode or a call continuation mode is performed. Then, after that, the transmission button is pressed to transmit the information. As a result, the information is supplied to the voice timing processing / protocol control unit 10 via the control unit 3, where the well-known processing according to the above-described transmission of the call information is performed and the P-mail transmission is performed. A flag indicating the presence and a flag indicating the transmission mode are added, and are transmitted to the nearest base station and exchange via the modulation / demodulation unit 13, the amplifier 14, and the antenna 9. In the middle of the exchange, the dialing number of the sender is added and the P
Sent to HS.

In the other party's PHS, after performing a well-known demodulation process and the like along the reverse route, the control unit 3
In this case, the incoming P-mail is detected, and the light emitting section 6 is caused to emit light of a different color from that at the time of receiving the above-mentioned call information, and is also turned on in accordance with a transmission mode described later. At the same time, if the reception of this P-mail is detected,
A signal indicating the reception of the P-mail is returned from the control unit 3 to the transmission source. The PHS of this embodiment operates as described above.

Next, a control method based on a processing program in the control unit 3, which is the gist of the present invention, will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 2 is a control flow at the time of outgoing call, and FIG. 3 is a control flow at the time of incoming call. First, a control flow at the time of transmission will be described. First,
When the telephone operating mode is selected and the dial operation is performed by the key operation unit 1, or the P-mail transmission mode is selected and the character information transmitting operation is performed, in step S1, it is determined whether the normal telephone call or the P-mail transmission is performed. Done. This determination is made by detecting an input signal of the mode selection button from the key operation unit 1.

As a result of this detection, when it is determined that the communication mode is set, the control unit 3 supplies a drive signal for blinking red light to the light emission drive unit 5 to control the red LED in the light emission unit 6 to blink. I do.

If it is determined in step S1 that the input signal of the control section 3 is an input signal from the P-mail transmission mode selection button, a drive signal is issued to blink the red and green LEDs. The red and green LEDs are supplied to the light emission drive unit 5 to blink simultaneously. As a result, the two colors can be mixed and viewed as orange light from the antenna 9.

When the call mode is selected, these blinking states are set after the reception signal is transmitted from the partner PHS, that is, after the mutual communication line is formed.
The state changes from the blinking state to the lighting state, and after about two seconds, the state is turned off. In the P-mail transmission mode, the same display control as described above is performed after a signal indicating data reception is transmitted from the partner PHS.

Therefore, the sender can identify the transmission of the call information and the transmission of the character information and immediately confirm that the transmission is normally performed simply by looking at the antenna, and change the flashing state to the lighting state. With the change, it is possible to immediately confirm that the communication line with the other party has been formed and that the character information has been normally transmitted to the other party.

Next, a control flow at the time of an incoming call will be described. When either the call information or the P-mail information arrives, it is detected in step 10 whether the call information or the P-mail information has arrived. If there is no flag indicating P-mail in the information, it is determined that the information is call information, and if it is determined that the information is call information, the process proceeds to step 11, where it is checked whether or not the call is from a specific person. That is, in the PHS of this embodiment, as described above, dial numbers of a close person or an important business partner can be stored in the storage unit 4 in advance. The transmitted dial number is sequentially compared with the dial number stored in the storage unit 4 in advance.

As a result of the comparison, when a matching dial number is found, the green LED is driven to blink, and when the bell driver 7 is turned on, a control is performed so as to sound a bell sound (step). S12). If there is no matching data, the red LED is turned on and off, and a bell is controlled according to the setting state (step S13).

On the other hand, in step S10, if there is a flag indicating P-mail in the incoming data,
The red and green LEDs are simultaneously turned on and off, and the bell is controlled to sound according to the setting state. (Step S14).

When the call information is received, these blinks are turned off and silenced by pressing the reception button (step S15).

If the P-mail has arrived, the process further proceeds to step S16, in which a determination is made as to whether the transmission mode is the automatic disconnection mode or the call continuation mode. When the flag of the automatic disconnection mode is detected in the data, the LED is blinked for about 5 seconds, the bell is sounded according to the setting state, and only the received character information is displayed.
It is turned off and silenced (step S17).

At this time, if the flag of the call continuation mode is detected, the flow shifts to step S15, and the bell is sounded according to the blinking and the set state until the receiving button is operated.

Therefore, according to the PHS of this embodiment, at the time of transmission, as described above, the blinking state of the LED identifies the transmission or the transmission of text information, confirms the transmission state, and checks the arrival state of the information at the destination. When receiving an incoming call, the color of the LED can be used to identify whether the call or text information is being transmitted. When receiving the call information, the registered person can be a registered person or a specific person such as a business partner. It is possible to identify at a glance whether the information is received from a user or call information from another person.

In addition, since the emission light of the LED is emitted through the light transmitting portion of the antenna housing, it is very noticeable, and when the bell sound of a train or the like is muted, the antenna is not used. It is very convenient to store only the parts so that they can be checked from the outside.

In the above embodiment, the PHS has been described as an example. However, the present invention may be applied to an ordinary portable telephone. It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to telephones installed in ordinary households.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the relationship between the LED color and the type of transmission information is fixed in advance, but the relationship between the LED color and the type of transmission information to be identified is determined by the user. May be changed later as desired. For example, the color from a specific person 1 may be red, the call from a specific person 2 may be green, and the call from a specific person 3 may be orange. In this case, change the control program of the control unit,
The specific persons 1, 2, and 3 may be stored in advance in the storage unit, and by comparing and detecting the dial number transmitted during the telephone call from the specific person, the LED set corresponding thereto may be blinked. .

When the specific person is to be identified and displayed, the green LE is set in step S12 in FIG.
D is emitted to indicate that the information is call information from a specific person from the antenna unit, and the specific persons 1, 2, and 3 are associated with each other using the translucent dial number buttons. The control program may be changed so that a dial number corresponding to the same color is identified by the same color or another color.

[0036]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to identify whether the request is a call request from a specific person or a call request from another person. Since the identification can be made through the body translucent portion, the identification is possible at a glance, and it is extremely effective when the ringing sound of a train or the like is turned off. According to the apparatus of the second aspect, it is possible to identify at a glance from which specific person the call request is made, which is extremely convenient. According to the device of the third aspect, it is possible to identify the arrival of character information, which is extremely convenient. According to the apparatus of the fourth aspect, it is possible to distinguish between the call request and the arrival of the character information, and it is also very convenient because it is possible to identify which specific person the call request is from. According to the apparatus of the fifth aspect, particularly at the time of transmission, it is possible to transmit while discriminating the transmission state of the call information and the character information, which is extremely convenient. According to the device of the sixth aspect, it is particularly convenient to confirm whether information has been normally transmitted to the destination.
