DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone, and more particularly, to a portable telephone capable of easily displaying a display of various operating states to a user by sound or vibration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a portable telephone, a sound and vibrator vibration are used to convey an operation state to a user. The notification of the incoming call, the alarm of the wake-up, and the like can be collectively switched and set to one of the sounding sound and the vibrator vibration. Therefore, for example, when the mobile phone is put in a pocket or the like, if the vibration is set to vibrator, an incoming call or the like can be easily confirmed, and the surroundings are not bothered. When the user is away from the body and puts it in a bag or the like, an incoming call or the like can be confirmed by setting the sound to a sound.

[0003]

The operation states to be conveyed to the user include, in addition to the above-described incoming call and wake-up alarms, a quality alarm when the call quality is low, an LVA alarm for notifying a low battery voltage, and a notification of an incoming call during a call. , Call waiting tones, and the like, which are displayed exclusively by a sound. All of these are performed during a call, but there is a problem that the sound to be displayed disturbs the call.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable telephone capable of individually switching and setting the above-mentioned various status displays to a sound or a vibrator.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a portable telephone provided with a sounding means for displaying a plurality of notification events and a vibrator, wherein each of the notification events is displayed by the sounding means. A mobile phone is provided, which is provided with individual setting means for individually setting whether to display by the vibrator.

Further, the present invention discloses a portable telephone characterized by adding batch setting means for setting whether to display a plurality of notification events collectively by the sounding means or the vibrator. I do.

Further, the present invention discloses a portable telephone characterized in that the vibrator has a function of vibrating in a different mode for each notification event.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a mobile phone to which the present invention is applied. An antenna 1, a transmission / reception unit 2, a rewritable ROM 3, an input key 5, a display device 6, a microphone 7, a speaker 8, a vibrator 9 And an MPU 4 for performing these controls. ROM41 is M
Stores programs executed by PU4, etc.
The RAM 42 is used as a working memory of the MPU 4.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing an example of a sound / vibrator setting process provided in the portable telephone of the present invention. This process is stored in the ROM 41 of FIG. 2 as a program, and is read into the RAM 42 when activated,
This is executed by the MPU 4. This start-up or input during execution is performed by the input keys 5, and a user selection screen or the like is displayed on the screen of the display device 6. The result of the sound / vibrator setting is written into the rewritable ROM 3.

In FIG. 1, when the sound / vibrator setting is instructed from the input key 5, first, a selection screen as to whether or not to perform the collective setting is displayed (step 101). When the user selects the collective sound setting by inputting the number key "1", the ROM 3 is set so that all indications become sounds.
Is set (step 102), and when the batch vibrator setting is selected with the numeric key "2", all display is set in the ROM 3 so as to be vibrator vibration (step 3).

When the user inputs the number key "3" so as not to perform the batch setting in step 101, the process proceeds to the individual setting process in step 104 and subsequent steps. Here, first,
Select whether to display the incoming call as a vibrator vibration (step 104, this selection is made, for example, by using the numeric key “1”).
According to the selection, the ROM 3 sets whether the ring tone is displayed by vibrating the vibrator 9 or the sound of the speaker 8 (step 10).
5, 106). The following is the same as the case of the ring tone, and the setting of the alarm vibrator (steps 107 to 10)
9), setting of a schedule alarm (steps 110 to 110)
112), setting of LVA alarm (steps 113-1)
15), setting of a quality alarm (steps 116 to 11)
8), setting of ringtone during call (steps 119 to 12)
1) and setting of call waiting tones (steps 122 to 124) are sequentially set individually, and the processing ends.

In the mobile telephone set as described above, the ring tone, the wake-up alarm, and the schedule alarm are usually operations during a non-call, and the means set when the event occurs, ie, ringing or Displayed depending on the setting of vibrator vibration. On the other hand, the other status display is performed during a call, and an example of a processing flowchart thereof is shown in FIG. A program for performing the processing of this flowchart is also stored in the ROM 41 as in FIG. 1 and is executed by the MPU 4.

This program is always activated during a call, and monitors the occurrence (step 301).
When a notification event occurs, it is first checked whether it is an LVA alarm (step 302). If it is an LVA alarm, the setting is checked by referring to the ROM 3 (step 30).
3) Output LVA sound (step 304) or vibrator vibration (step 305) according to the setting. If it is not an LVA alarm in step 302, the same processing is performed for the quality alarm (steps 306 to 30).
9) Similarly, incoming calls during a call (steps 310 to 30)
3), call waiting tone (steps 314-)
317) is checked, and if so, the sound or vibrator vibration is output according to the setting.

According to the portable telephone described above, the sound setting or the vibrator vibration setting can be changed collectively or individually, and the setting can be changed according to the use situation or personal preference. Therefore, even if a sound occurs during a call, the other party's voice can be easily heard if the vibration is set.

In the description of FIG. 3, the vibration of the vibrator is not described in detail, but the vibration is usually of the same frequency and cycle in any event. However, as in the case of vibrator vibration, as in the case of different sounds, depending on the event, the user can easily recognize what the displayed event is. it can.

[0016]

According to the present invention, it is possible to confirm an incoming call or the like during a call without disturbing the call. Further, if the mode of the vibrator vibration is changed by an event, a more convenient mobile phone can be realized. it can.
