Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain communication available with an opposite party with a simple operation, when an incoming call is received in a vibration call reception mode. SOLUTION: When a noise level detected by a noise level detection circuit 35 decreases to a prescribed level or below in the vibration call reception mode, a system controller 50A discriminates reception and allows a vibrator 48 to vibrate to signal to the user of the arrival of an incoming call. Thereafter, when a PTT. SW46 is depressed, the vibration call reception mode is tentatively stopped and a transmission system is allowed to send a voice signal inputted from a microphone. When the PTT. SW 46 is released, the reception system is operated and the received voice is outputted from a loudspeaker. When the PTT. SW6 is not depressed or a state of no reception continues for a prescribed time, the original vibration call reception mode is automatically restored.

Reference numeral 50 denotes a system controller having a microcomputer structure which controls the overall operation of the FM transceiver. In accordance with the operation of the SW 45, the power supply circuit 40 is turned on / off, the transmission / reception circuit 20 is switched between a reception mode and a transmission mode, the operation channel is switched, and the display of the operation channel is controlled. The noise squelch control is performed according to the level of the noise level indicated by the noise level detection signal NL during the reception mode, and the vibration incoming control is performed when the vibration incoming mode is on.

The operation of the system controller 50 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. Built-in memory of system controller 50 (rewritable nonvolatile memory)
In this example, it is assumed that the operation CH data = 5 immediately before the power was turned off is stored. (1) Power-on In the power-off state, when the user presses the power key 42 and performs a power-on operation, the power key signal changes from H to L. Then, the system controller 50 determines that the power key has been operated, and instructs the power supply circuit 40 to each of the circuits (the display unit 47, the FM detection circuit 31,
Among the noise level detection circuit 35 and the transmission / reception circuit 20, power-on control is performed for a circuit that requires power for both transmission and reception, and a circuit that requires power only for reception (the IF amplification circuit 3).
0, among the vibration device 48 and the transmission / reception circuit 20, the power-on control is performed for the circuits that require power only at the time of reception, and the power is supplied to the respective circuits (steps S60 and S6 in FIG. 5).
1). Then, the switching control to the reception mode, the switching control to the operation CH = 5 immediately before the last power-off, and the display control of the operation CH to the display unit 47 are performed for the transmission / reception circuit 20 (step S62).

(2) Vibration incoming mode off After step S62, the system controller 50 turns off the vibration incoming mode and waits for reception from the other party (step S63). For example, assuming that there are 10 operable CHs of the FM transceiver, the noise level detection signal NL output from the noise level detection circuit 35 has a large voltage value and a large noise level when there is no transmission on the fifth CH from the other party. Is shown. When there is transmission on the fifth CH from the other party, the received signal caught by the transmitting / receiving antenna 21 is subjected to RF amplification and conversion to an intermediate frequency signal in the receiving system of the transmitting / receiving circuit 20. The intermediate frequency signal of the received signal of the fifth CH is amplified by the IF amplifying circuit 30, and then the FM detection circuit 3
At 1, FM detection is performed.

When the receiving electric field strength of the fifth CH is not weak, the noise level in the output of the FM detection circuit 31 is small, and the noise level detection signal NL has a small voltage value. However, if the other party is far away and the reception electric field strength of the fifth CH is weak, the level of the intermediate frequency signal is small, and the FM detection circuit 3
1, the noise level in the output is large, and the noise level detection signal NL has a large voltage value.

The system controller 50 controls the noise level detection signal NL in the reception mode with the vibration incoming mode off.
_Is compared with a predetermined reference level _VTH to detect the presence or absence of reception. Even if the other side is not transmitting on the fifth channel or is transmitting, the receiving electric field strength is weak because the distance is far and the noise level detection signal NL exceeds the reference level _VTH. Is turned off, noise noise is not output from the speaker 34, and battery consumption is prevented (step S6).
5 is NO, S66). If the other party is transmitting on the fifth channel and the received electric field strength is above a certain level and the noise level detection signal NL is lower than the reference level V _TH ,
It is determined that there is reception, the power of the audio power amplifier 33 is turned on, and the received voice is output from the speaker 34 (YES in step S65, S67).

(2) Transmission PTT. When the transmission instruction operation is performed by pressing the SW 46, an L-level switch signal is output, and the system controller 50 that has input the signal is output.
Determines that there is a transmission instruction operation (step S80 in FIG. 6).
And the determination of YES). At this time, the system controller 5
0 indicates a circuit that requires power to the power supply circuit 40 only at the time of reception (the IF amplifier circuit 30, the vibration device 48,
0, the power is controlled to be turned off to a circuit that requires power only at the time of reception, the power supply to the circuit is turned off, and a circuit that requires power only at the time of transmission (microphone amplifier 11, IDC1).
3. In the transmission / reception circuit 20, power-on control is performed on a circuit requiring power only at the time of transmission, and power is supplied to the circuit. Further, the power of the audio power amplifier 33 is controlled to be off, and the operation of the audio power amplifier 33 is stopped to prevent the battery from being consumed (step S81). Further, it controls the transmission / reception circuit 20 to switch to the transmission mode (step S82). The audio signal input by the microphone 10 includes a microphone amplifier 11, an HPF 12, an IDC circuit 13,
After passing through the LPF 14, it becomes a transmission baseband signal in a band of 300 Hz to 3000 Hz, is FM-modulated and power-amplified by the transmission / reception circuit 20, and is emitted from the transmission / reception antenna 21 to the outside at the transmission frequency of the fifth CH.

Thereafter, to stop transmission, PTT. SW4
6 is released, the switch signal rises to the H level, and the system controller 50 determines that the transmission instruction operation has ended,
The power supply circuit 40 controls the power supply of the circuit requiring power only at the time of reception to supply the power to the circuit, and controls the power supply circuit 40 to control the power supply of the circuit requiring power only at the time of transmission. The power supply to the circuit is turned off, and the transmission / reception circuit 20 is controlled to switch to the reception mode (YES in step S83, S84).

(3) Switching of Operation CH For example, when it is desired to change the operation CH to the seventh CH, the CH switching operation is performed twice by pressing the up key 43 of the key operation unit 41 twice in the reception mode. . When the up key signal falls from H to L in the first operation of the up key 43, the system controller 50 increments the operating CH data to 6, and controls the transmission / reception circuit 20 to switch the operating CH to the sixth CH. And the display unit 46
Is displayed after the change (step S6 in FIG. 5).
8, S69). Similarly, when the up-key signal falls from H to L again by the second pressing of the up-key 43, the operation CH data is incremented to 7, and the transmission / reception circuit 20 switches the operation CH to the seventh CH. do.

Conversely, when it is desired to change the operating CH to the sixth CH, the down key 44 of the key operation unit 41 is set in the reception mode.
Is pressed once, and the CH switching operation is performed once. When the down key signal falls from H to L by pressing the down key 44, the system controller 50 decrements the operation CH data to 6, and controls the transmission / reception circuit 20 to switch the operation CH to the sixth CH. . Further, the operation CH is displayed on the display unit 46 (step S6 in FIG. 5).
8, S69).

(4) Power-off When the power is to be turned off, the power key 42 is pressed to perform a power-off operation. In the power-on state, when the user presses the power key 42, the power key signal falls from H to L. Then, the system controller 50 determines that the power key has been operated, controls the power supply circuit 40 to turn off the power of all supply systems, and turns off the power (steps S85 and S86 in FIG. 6).

(5) Vibration Incoming Mode On If the user wants to know the incoming call from the partner station by vibration without voice output, press the vibrating incoming call mode key 45 in the receiving mode to turn on the vibrating incoming call mode. I do. When the vibration incoming mode key signal falls from H to L, the system controller 50 determines that the vibration incoming mode key has been operated, and turns on the vibration incoming mode (step S in FIG. 5).
YES at 64, S70). At this time, first, the power supply to the audio power amplifier 33 is turned off to prohibit the output of the received voice from the speaker 34 when receiving from the partner station (step S90 in FIG. 7).

Then, the presence or absence of reception is detected by comparing the noise level detection signal NL with a predetermined reference level _VTH . Even if the other party is not transmitting on the fifth CH or is transmitting on the fifth CH, the reception electric field strength is weak because the distance is far and the noise level detection signal NL exceeds the reference level _VTH, and it is determined that there is no reception (NO in step S91). ). At this time, PT
T. It is determined whether the switch signal from the SW 46 has fallen or not, and it is determined whether the switch has been operated (step S92).
If not, the process returns to step S91. If there is an operation, the vibration incoming mode is turned off and the process returns to step S64 in FIG. 5 (step S93).

When there is a transmission on the fifth CH from the other party and NL ≦ V _{TH in} the determination of step S91, the system controller 50 determines that there is a reception, and controls the vibration device 47 to cause vibration. Then, a 10-second timer for measuring 10 seconds is started (steps S94 and S9).
5). When the user does not notice the incoming call, the key operation unit 41 or the PT
T. When the 10-second timer expires without operating the SW 46, the system controller 50 still outputs NL ≦
A V _TH, while the reception is present vibrating device 47 is not stopped (YES in step S96 and S97), NL> the V _TH becomes reception is eliminated and the vibration device 47 is stopped, step S9
1 (NO in step S97, S98.

(6) Response to Vibration Incoming When a user who notices an incoming call by vibration wants to communicate with the other party,
PTT. Press SW46. PTT. SW4
6, the system controller 50 determines YES in step S99, stops the vibration device 47 (step S100), and determines that the current operation is PTT. Since this is for the SW 46, the vibration incoming mode is turned off (YES in step S101, S10
2), proceed to step S64 in FIG. In addition, PTT. S
If the vibration has already stopped when W46 is pressed, the system controller 50 determines in step S92 that YE
After determining S, the vibration incoming mode is turned off (step S93), and the process proceeds to step S64 in FIG. As a result, if there is a transmission from the other party and N ≦ V _TH , the received voice can be heard from the speaker 34 (step S65,
S67), PTT. If the transmission instruction operation is performed by pressing the SW 46, it is possible to call the other party (steps S80 to S82 in FIG. 6).

If communication is not possible even if there is an incoming call, simply press the up key 4 of the key operation unit 41 during vibration.
3, any one of the down key 44 and the vibration incoming mode key 45 may be pressed for operation. At this time, the system controller 50 simply stops the vibration and returns to step S91 (YES in step S99, NO in S100, S101).

[0022]

In the above-mentioned FM transceiver having a vibration incoming call function, when a vibration incoming call is received while the vibration incoming call mode is on, a PTT. SW46 is depressed once to turn off the vibrating incoming call mode, and then the PTT. SW46
Has to be pressed to perform the transmission instruction operation, and there is a problem that the operation is troublesome. In addition, after communicating with the other party,
To return to vibration mode again, press the vibration mode key 4
5 had to be operated, and the operation was troublesome in this respect as well. Also, when there is a vibration incoming call and the user wants to hear only the other party's voice and return to the original vibration incoming call mode, the PTT. SW
First, the vibration incoming call mode is turned off by pressing the button 46 once, and after confirming the other party's voice, the vibration incoming call mode key 45 must be operated, which is troublesome. The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the related art, and provides a communication device capable of communicating with a partner by a simple operation and returning to the original vibration reception mode when a call is received in the vibration reception mode.

The noise squelch control is performed according to the level of the noise level indicated by the noise level detection signal NL in the reception mode, and the vibration incoming control is performed when the vibration incoming mode is on.

When the vibration reception mode is on, the system controller 50A
5 is operated, or PTT. SW4
When the button 6 is operated, the vibration reception mode is temporarily turned off. Therefore, PTT. While the transmission instruction operation is performed by pressing the SW 46, the transmission / reception circuit 20 performs the transmission operation, so that a call can be made to the other party, and the PTT. While the SW 46 is released and the transmission instruction operation is not performed, the voice can be heard if there is a reception from the other party. However, PTT. If the state where the SW 46 is not operated and the reception from the other party is not detected continues for a certain period of time, the apparatus automatically returns to the vibration incoming mode ON state. When Vibration mode is ON, PT
T. When the SW 46 is operated, the system controller 50A immediately causes the transmission / reception circuit 20 to perform a transmission operation. The other components are configured exactly the same as in FIG.

The operation of the system controller 50A will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are flowcharts showing the control processing of the system controller 50A when the vibration incoming mode is on. Except for the control processing when the vibration incoming mode is on, the control processing is exactly the same as the control processing in FIGS. Hereinafter, in the FM transceiver, the vibration reception mode is on, and the operation CH is set to 5C.
The description will be made assuming that H has been switched.

(1 ') Vibration incoming call mode on In the vibration incoming call mode off state, if the user wants to know the incoming call from the partner station by vibration without voice output, press the vibration incoming call mode key 45 in the receiving mode, Perform the vibration incoming call mode on operation. The system controller 50A
When the vibration incoming mode key signal falls from H to L, it is determined that the vibration incoming mode key has been operated, and the vibration incoming mode is turned on (see steps S64 and S70 in FIG. 5). At this time, first, the power supply to the audio power amplifier 33 is turned off to prohibit the output of the received voice from the speaker 34 when receiving from the partner station (step S110 in FIG. 2).

Then, the presence or absence of reception is detected by comparing the noise level detection signal NL with a predetermined reference level _VTH . If the other party is not transmitting on the 5th CH or is transmitting on the 5th CH, the receiving electric field strength is weak because it is far away and the noise level detection signal NL exceeds the reference level _VTH , it is determined that there is no reception (NO in step S111). ). At this time, the presence or absence of a fall of a key signal from any key (excluding the power key) of the key operation unit 41 or the PTT. SW46
It is determined whether there is a fall of the switch signal from the CPU and it is determined whether any operation has been performed (step S11).
2) If not, the process returns to step S111, and if there is any operation, the process proceeds to step S120 described later.

When transmission is performed on the fifth CH from the other party and NL ≦ V _TH is determined in step S111, the system controller 50A determines that there is reception, and the vibration device 48
To cause vibration. Then, a 10-second timer for measuring 10 seconds is started (step S11).
3, S114). When the user does not notice the incoming call, the key operation unit 41 or the PTT. When the 10-second timer expires without operating the SW 46, the system controller 50A
Is still NL ≦ V _TH , and while there is reception, the vibration device 47
Is not stopped (YES in steps S116 and S117), N
> The V _TH becomes reception is eliminated and the vibration device 47 is stopped, the flow returns to the step S 111 (N in step S117
O, S118).

(2 ') Vibration Incoming Mode Temporary Suspension When a user who notices an incoming call due to vibration wants to communicate with the other party,
PTT. Press SW46. PTT. SW4
When the switch signal from 6 falls, the system controller 50A determines YES in step S115, stops the vibration device 48 (step S119), and the current operation is not for the vibration incoming mode key 45 (step S120). NO), the vibration receiving mode is temporarily stopped and the vibration receiving mode is turned off (step S122), and then a 30-second timer for measuring 30 seconds is started (step S123).

(3 ') Transmission And the operation this time is PTT. Since it is for SW 46 (YES in step S124), step S
Proceeding to 130, a circuit that requires power only for reception for the power supply circuit 40 (a circuit that requires power only for reception among the IF amplifier circuit 30, the vibration device 48, and the transmission / reception circuit 20)
The power supply to the circuit is turned off by turning off the power to the circuit, and a circuit that requires power only at the time of transmission (microphone amplifier 1)
1. In the IDC 13 and the transmission / reception circuit 20, the power-on control is performed on a circuit that requires power only at the time of transmission to supply power to the circuit. Further, it controls the transmission / reception circuit 20 to switch to the transmission mode. When the user calls, the audio signal input by the microphone 10 is transmitted to the microphone amplifier 11,
30 through the HPF 12, the IDC circuit 13, and the LPF 14.
The signal becomes a transmission baseband signal in a band of 0 Hz to 3000 Hz, is FM-modulated and power-amplified by the transmission / reception circuit 20, and is emitted from the transmission / reception antenna 21 to the outside at the transmission frequency of the fifth CH.

Thereafter, in order to stop transmission, PTT. SW4
When the switch 6 is released, the switch signal rises to the H level, the system controller 50A determines that the transmission instruction operation has been completed, and controls the power supply circuit 40 to turn on power to a circuit that requires power only at the time of reception. The power supply is controlled to turn off the power supply to the circuit that requires power only at the time of transmission to turn off the power supply to the circuit, and to control the transmission / reception circuit 20 to switch to the reception mode (step YES in S131, S132). At this time, the 30-second timer is restarted (step S133).

[0035] (4 ') receives the system controller 50A detects the presence or absence of reception by comparing the time of reception mode under stop state at the vibration reception mode one, the noise-level detection signal NL with a predetermined reference level V _TH. When the other party is transmitting on the fifth channel and the received electric field strength is above a certain level and the noise level detection signal NL is below the reference level _VTH , it is determined that there is reception and the power of the audio power amplifier 33 is turned on. Then, the received voice is output from the speaker 34 (YES in step S134, S135). Then, the 30-second timer is restarted (step S136).

It is determined that there is no reception when the other side stops transmission on the fifth channel or the reception electric field strength is weak because the transmission is distant and the noise level detection signal NL exceeds the reference level _VTH. The power of the audio power amplifier 33 is kept off to prevent noise sound from being output from the speaker 34 and to prevent battery consumption (NO in step S134, S137).

Then, it is checked whether the 30-second timer has expired (step S138). If NO, the PTT. It is checked whether the transmission instruction operation has been performed by pressing the SW 46 (step S
139) If YES, the audio power amplifier 3
3 after the power-off control (step S14)
0), the process proceeds to step S130 to perform the transmission operation, and NO
If so, the process returns to step S134 to continue the receiving operation. As a result, if there is a transmission from the other party and N ≦ V _TH , the received voice can be heard from the speaker 34 (steps S134 and S135), and the PTT. If the transmission instruction operation is performed by pressing the SW 46, it is possible to call the other party (steps S139, S140, S130).

(5 ') Return to the Vibration Incoming Mode ON State After that, after the communication is completed or the voice of the other party is confirmed, the user sets the PTT. If the transmission instruction operation by pressing the SW 46 is not performed and the reception from the other party is not detected for 30 seconds or more, the 30-second timer times out, so the system controller 50A determines YES in step S138 of FIG. I do. At this time, after returning to the vibration receiving mode ON state (step S141), the process proceeds to step S111 in FIG. 2, and waits for reception again in the vibration receiving mode.

Since the user who notices the incoming call by the vibration communicates with the other party, PTT. When the SW 46 is pressed, the transmission has been stopped by the other party, and the 10-second timer has already timed out and the vibration has stopped (step S116 in FIG. 2).
YES at S117, NO at S117, S118), PTT. SW
When the switch signal from 46 falls, the system controller 50A determines YES in step S112. At this time, since it is not the vibration reception mode key, the process proceeds to step S122, and the vibration reception mode is temporarily stopped.
After starting the 30-second timer (step S12)
3), the operation this time is PTT. Since this is for the SW 46 (YES in step S124), step S1 in FIG.
Proceed to 30 to immediately perform the transmission operation. Therefore, the call can be promptly made.

When there is an incoming vibration, during vibration,
Regardless of whether the vibration is stopped or not, when it is desired to hear the other party's voice and confirm who is, it is sufficient to press any one of the up key 43 and the down key 44 in the key operation unit 41. Then, when the system controller 50A is vibrating, the system controller 50A executes step S1.
After determining YES at 15, the vibration is stopped, and the vibration incoming mode is temporarily turned off (steps S119, S12).
2), the process proceeds to step S134 in FIG. 3, and when the vibration is stopped, YES is determined in step S112, and the vibration incoming mode is temporarily turned off (step S122).
Proceeds to step S134, so that the voice can be heard immediately if the other party is transmitting. After this, PTT. SW
If a transmission instruction operation is performed by pressing 46, it is possible to call the other party.

(6 ') Cancellation of Vibration Incoming Mode Regardless of whether vibration is in progress or vibration is stopped, when it is desired to cancel vibration incoming mode, the vibration incoming mode key 45 is pressed. Then, the system controller 50A determines YES in step S115 during vibration, stops the vibration, cancels the vibration reception mode after determining YES in step S120 (step S121), and stops the vibration when stopping vibration. After YES is determined in S112 and step S120, the vibration reception mode is released (step S121), and a normal transmission / reception operation is performed (see step S64 in FIG. 5).

In the above embodiment, when there is an incoming call, the vibration continues for 10 seconds. However, the vibration may be continued until an operation is performed. In addition, when the user sets PTT. When the transmission instruction operation by pressing the SW 46 is not performed and the reception from the other party is not detected for more than 30 seconds, the automatic return to the vibration receiving mode ON state is performed. Other times may be set. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the FM transceiver is described as an example. However, the present invention can be applied to other types of communication devices.

[0043]

According to the present invention, if any predetermined operation is performed when the vibration reception mode is on, the vibration reception mode is temporarily turned off. , And the other party's voice can be heard by stopping the operation of the transmission instruction operation means.
Then, when the user turns on the vibration reception mode, the user responds to the vibration reception for a meeting or the like,
Or, after confirming the other party by listening to the voice, you often want to turn on the vibrating mode again, but if you do not operate the transmission instruction means, the vibrating mode is automatically turned on after the other party stops transmitting , The trouble of turning on the vibration incoming call mode can be saved. Also, when there is an incoming call when the vibration reception mode is on, if the transmission instruction operation means is operated, it is possible to immediately call the other party, and there is no need to perform a separate operation for turning off the vibration reception mode before transmission. .
