(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of a portable wireless communication apparatus which is a portable terminal apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The CPU 11 is control means for controlling the entire apparatus. The wireless control unit 12 controls a wireless communication function via the antenna 13. That is, the wireless control unit 12 is connected to the telephone function control unit 1 described later.
In accordance with the instruction from 6, a wireless connection with the base station and transmission of a voice signal are performed. The display control means 14 controls the display 1
5 is controlled.

The telephone function control means 16 controls a microphone 17 for picking up a voice, a speaker 18 for vocalizing a voice signal and sounding a ring tone, a warning sound, and the like, and a vibrator 19 for vibrating the housing when a call is received. Then, it controls a series of functions as a telephone such as outgoing / incoming calls, talking, and holding.

The operation unit 20 sends a signal to the wireless control means 12 and the telephone function control means 16 when operated by the user. The memory 21 is a storage unit for storing a telephone number, a name, a standard voice pattern, and the like.

In the portable radio communication device having the above configuration, first, after a line is established, a digital audio signal received from the antenna 13 is converted into an analog signal via the telephone function control means 16 in the same manner as a normal radio communication device. The signal is converted into a signal and transmitted from the speaker 18. On the other hand, the sound collected from the microphone 17 is converted into a digital signal by the telephone function control means 16 and transmitted from the antenna 13 by the wireless control means 12.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a main part of the portable wireless communication device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The main parts are a moving speed measuring unit 101 that measures the moving speed of the wireless communication device, a incoming call notification mode determining unit 102 that determines the incoming call notification mode according to the moving speed information, and an incoming call switching that switches the incoming call notification mode according to the incoming call notification mode information. A notification mode switching unit 103, an incoming call detection unit 104 for detecting an incoming call, and an incoming call notification unit 105 for notifying the user of an incoming call according to the incoming call detection signal and the current incoming call notification mode information.

Next, the operation of the portable radio communication device having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. First, the moving speed of the wireless communication device is measured by the moving speed measuring unit 101. Here, as a method of measuring the moving speed, a method using the following Doppler effect or the like can be used. Specifically, as the wireless communication device moves, Doppler shift occurs in the carrier wave. Carrier waves fly from all directions around the wireless communication device due to reflection and diffraction phenomena.
The largest Doppler shift occurs in the carrier wave coming from the moving direction or the rear surface. Therefore, the maximum Doppler frequency can be measured as the difference between the carrier frequency at which the maximum Doppler shift has occurred and the reference carrier frequency. Then, the moving speed at that time can be uniquely determined from the maximum Doppler frequency. Thus, the moving speed of the wireless communication device can be measured.

If the wireless communication device is not moving (if stopped), the moving speed is 0. If the wireless communication device is in a walking or moving vehicle, the moving speed depending on the speed is measured. Is done. The moving speed information measured by the moving speed measuring unit 101 is input to the incoming call notification mode determining unit 102. The incoming call notification mode determination unit 102 determines whether or not the wireless communication device is moving at high speed using the value of the moving speed information. This determination is made by comparing the moving speed with a threshold value set in advance for the wireless communication device.
According to the determination result, it is determined whether to set the incoming call notification mode to sound or to vibrate the housing of the wireless communication device. To solve the problem, when the determination result indicates that the vehicle is moving at high speed,
What is necessary is just to set the incoming call notification mode to be the housing vibration of the wireless communication device.

The incoming call notification mode information determined by the incoming call communication mode determining unit 102 is input to the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103. The incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 switches the incoming call notification mode according to the incoming call notification mode information.

On the other hand, if there is an incoming call,
At 4, an incoming call is detected. The incoming call detection signal detected by the incoming call detection unit 104 is input to the incoming call notification unit 105. Also,
The current incoming call notification mode information switched by the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 is also input to the incoming call notification unit 105. The incoming call notification unit 105 notifies the user of the incoming call according to the current incoming call notification mode when the incoming call detection signal indicates an incoming call.

Since public transportation repeatedly stops, accelerates, steady speeds, decelerates, and stops, if the traveling speed is detected when the traveling speed becomes lower than the traveling speed threshold, an incoming call notification is issued. It is possible that the mode is switched to sound. If there is an incoming call at this time, a sound incoming call notification is made, which is a problem.

Therefore, once it is determined that the mobile station is moving at a high speed, the mobile speed becomes lower than a set value until it is determined that the mobile station is not moving at a high speed more than a predetermined number of times set in advance in the wireless communication device. At this time, the moving speed is measured after a predetermined time, and the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 is activated by the vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device until the judgment that the moving speed is equal to or less than the set value exceeds a predetermined number of times. Set to keep on notifications. By this operation, the incoming call notification mode in the public transportation having a speed change can be maintained at the housing vibration of the wireless communication device.

As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, during high-speed movement such as when using public transportation, the incoming call notification mode of the wireless communication device is changed to the incoming call notification by vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device. Since the setting is automatically made, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a nearby person feels discomfort due to a ring tone when a call is received.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a main part of a portable radio communication apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The main parts are a moving speed measuring unit 101 for measuring the moving speed of the wireless communication device, and an ambient noise level measuring unit 10 for measuring the noise level around the wireless communication device.
6 and an incoming call notification mode determination unit 102 that determines an incoming call notification mode according to the moving speed information and the ambient noise level information.

5 is included.

Next, the operation of the portable radio communication device having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. First, the moving speed of the wireless communication device is measured by the moving speed measuring unit 101. The method of measuring the moving speed is the same as in the first embodiment. If the wireless communication device is not moving (if stopped), the moving speed is 0, and if the wireless communication device is in a walking or moving vehicle, the moving speed depending on the speed is measured. The moving speed information measured by the moving speed measuring unit 101 is input to the incoming call notification mode determining unit 102.

In the ambient noise level measuring section 106,
A noise level around the wireless communication device is measured. Here, as a method of measuring the ambient noise level, a method of measuring a normal sound level can be used. The ambient noise level information measured by the ambient noise level measuring unit 106 is input to the incoming call notification mode determining unit 102.

The incoming call notification mode determination unit 102 determines whether or not the radio communication device is moving at high speed using the moving speed information. This determination is made by comparing with a threshold value of the moving speed preset in the wireless communication device. In addition, the incoming call notification mode determination unit 102 compares the ambient noise level information with a threshold value of the ambient noise level preset in the wireless communication device, and determines whether or not there is noise. In order to solve the problem, when it is determined that the mobile terminal is moving at a high speed, the incoming call notification mode is set to always be the vibration of the housing of the portable terminal device. Even if it is determined that the vehicle is not moving at high speed, if it is determined that the surroundings are not noisy, it is assumed that the user is in a movie theater or a library, so the incoming call notification mode becomes the vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device. Set as follows.

In this case, depending on the threshold value of the ambient noise level, it may be determined that the noise is not noisy in any environment, so it is necessary to set an appropriate threshold value. The incoming call notification mode information determined by the incoming call notification mode determining unit 102 is input to the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103. The incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 switches the incoming call notification mode according to the incoming call notification mode information.

On the other hand, when there is an incoming call,
At 4, an incoming call is detected. The incoming call detection signal detected by the incoming call detection unit 104 is input to the incoming call notification unit 105. Also,
The current incoming call notification mode information switched by the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 is also input to the incoming call notification unit 105. The incoming call notification unit 105 notifies the user of the incoming call according to the current incoming call notification mode information when the incoming call detection signal indicates an incoming call.

Since the public transportation system repeatedly stops, accelerates, steady speeds, decelerates, and stops, the traveling speed is detected when the traveling speed becomes lower than the traveling speed threshold while using the public transportation. If it is determined that the ambient noise level is a noisy level, the incoming call notification mode may be switched to a sound. If there is an incoming call at this time, a sound incoming call notification is made, which is a problem.

Therefore, once it is determined that the mobile station is moving at a high speed, the mobile speed becomes lower than the set value until it is determined that the mobile station is not moving at a high speed more than a predetermined number of times set in advance in the wireless communication device. At this time, the moving speed is measured after a predetermined time, and the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 is activated by the vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device until the judgment that the moving speed is equal to or less than the set value exceeds a predetermined number of times. Set to keep on notifications. By this operation, the incoming call notification mode in the public transportation having a speed change can be maintained at the housing vibration of the wireless communication device.

As described above, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, during high-speed movement such as when using public transportation, or
When the surroundings are quiet even when not moving at high speed, the incoming call notification mode of the wireless communication device is automatically set to the incoming call notification due to the vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device. It is possible to avoid discomfort due to sound.

In this embodiment, instead of measuring the moving speed, only the ambient noise level is measured, and when the ambient noise level exceeds a set value, it is determined that the vehicle is moving at high speed, and the incoming call notification mode is set. You may make it switch from a sound to housing | casing vibration.

(Embodiment 3) FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a main part of a portable radio communication apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The main parts are a moving speed measuring unit 101 that measures the moving speed of the wireless communication device, a incoming call notification mode determining unit 102 that determines the incoming call notification mode according to the moving speed information, and an incoming call switching that switches the incoming call notification mode according to the incoming call notification mode information. Notification mode switching section 103, an incoming call detection section 104 for detecting an incoming call, an incoming call notification section 105 for notifying the user of an incoming call according to the incoming call detection signal and the current incoming call notification mode information, and whether the user automatically sets the incoming call notification mode. Automatic / manual selection unit 107 for selecting whether to set manually
And

Next, the operation of the portable radio communication device having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. First, the moving speed of the wireless communication device is measured by the moving speed measuring unit 101. The method of measuring the moving speed is the same as in the first embodiment. If the wireless communication device is not moving (if stopped), the moving speed is 0, and if the wireless communication device is in a walking or moving vehicle, the moving speed depending on the speed is measured. The moving speed information measured by the moving speed measuring unit 101 is input to the incoming call notification mode determining unit 102.

The incoming call notification mode determining unit 102 determines whether or not the radio communication device is moving at high speed using the moving speed information. This determination is made by comparing with a threshold value of the moving speed preset in the wireless communication device. Then, according to the determination result, it is determined whether to set the incoming notification mode to sound or to vibrate the housing of the portable terminal device. To solve the problem, when it is determined that the vehicle is moving at high speed,
The incoming call notification mode is set to be the vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device.

The incoming notification mode information determined by incoming notification mode determining section 102 is input to incoming notification mode switching section 103. In addition, when the user inputs to the automatic / manual selection unit 107, the user sets whether to automatically set the incoming call notification mode or the user to set manually. Automatic / manual setting values are generated by the user's input. The automatic / manual setting values generated by the automatic / manual selection unit 107 are input to the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103.

When the automatic / manual selection value indicates a manual operation, the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 switches the incoming call notification mode according to the incoming call notification mode information selected by the user. On the other hand, when the automatic / manual selection value indicates the automatic operation, the incoming call notification mode is switched according to the incoming call notification mode information.

When there is an incoming call, the incoming call detection unit 104 detects the incoming call. The incoming call detection signal detected by incoming call detecting section 104 is input to incoming call notifying section 105. Further, the current incoming call notification mode information switched by the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 is also input to the incoming call notification unit 105. The incoming call notification unit 105 notifies the user of the incoming call according to the current incoming call notification mode information when the incoming call detection signal indicates an incoming call. When the automatic setting is selected by the automatic / manual selection unit 107, the following processing is also performed.

Since public transportation repeatedly stops, accelerates, steady speeds, decelerates, and stops, when the traveling speed becomes lower than the traveling speed threshold, the incoming call notification mode is set. It is possible that the sound is switched to a sound. If there is an incoming call at this time, a sound incoming call notification is made, which is a problem.

Therefore, once it is determined that the mobile station is moving at high speed, it is determined that the mobile station is not moving at high speed continuously for more than a predetermined number of times set in advance in the wireless communication device, that is, the moving speed is lower than the set value. At this time, the moving speed is measured after a predetermined time, and the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 is activated by the vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device until the judgment that the moving speed is equal to or less than the set value exceeds a predetermined number of times. Set to keep on notifications. By this operation, the incoming call notification mode in the public transportation having a speed change can be maintained at the housing vibration of the wireless communication device.

As described above, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the radio communication device itself automatically selects whether to set the incoming call notification mode of the radio communication device to sound or to vibrate the casing of the radio communication device. It is possible for the user to select whether to make a setting based on the determination or to manually switch the setting.

In the case where the selection operation is automatically set, the incoming call notification mode of the wireless communication device is set to the incoming call notification by vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device during high-speed movement such as when using public transportation. Is automatically set to
When an incoming call is received, surrounding persons can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable due to the ringtone.

First, the moving speed of the wireless communication device is measured by the moving speed measuring unit 101. The method of measuring the moving speed is the same as in the first embodiment. If the wireless communication device is not moving (if stopped), the moving speed is 0, and if the wireless communication device is in a walking or moving vehicle, the moving speed depending on the speed is measured. The moving speed information measured by the moving speed measuring unit 101 is input to the incoming call notification mode determining unit 102.

The incoming call notification mode determining unit 102 determines whether or not the radio communication device is moving at high speed using the moving speed information. This determination is made by comparing with a threshold value of the moving speed preset in the wireless communication device. Then, according to the determination result, it is determined whether to set the incoming notification mode to sound or to vibrate the housing of the portable terminal device. To solve the problem, when it is determined that the vehicle is moving at high speed,

Then, the parameter information set by the timer 108 is input to the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103.

While the parameter information indicates the automatic operation period, the incoming call notification mode switching section 103 switches the incoming call notification mode according to the incoming call notification mode information. On the other hand, while the parameter information indicates the manual operation period, the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 performs switching according to the incoming call notification mode set by the user.

When there is an incoming call, the incoming call detection unit 104 detects the incoming call. The incoming call detection signal detected by incoming call detecting section 105 is input to incoming call notifying section 105.

The incoming call detection signal detected by incoming call detecting section 104 is input to incoming call notifying section 105. Further, the current incoming call notification mode information switched by the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 is also input to the incoming call notification unit 105. The incoming call notification unit 105 notifies the user of the incoming call according to the current incoming call notification mode information when the incoming call detection signal indicates an incoming call.

Since public transportation repeatedly stops, accelerates, steady speeds, decelerates, and stops, when the traveling speed becomes lower than the traveling speed threshold, the incoming call notification mode is set. It is possible that the sound is switched to a sound. If there is an incoming call at this time, a sound incoming call notification is made, which is a problem.

Therefore, once it is determined that the mobile station is moving at a high speed, the mobile speed remains below the set value until it is determined that the mobile station is not moving at a high speed continuously for a prescribed number of times set in advance in the wireless communication device. At this time, the moving speed is measured after a predetermined time, and the incoming call notification mode switching unit 103 is activated by the vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device until the judgment that the moving speed is equal to or less than the set value exceeds a predetermined number of times. Set to keep on notifications. By this operation, the incoming call notification mode in the public transportation having a speed change can be maintained at the housing vibration of the wireless communication device.

As described above, according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, during high-speed movement such as when using public transportation, the incoming call notification mode of the wireless communication device is changed to the incoming call notification by vibration of the housing of the wireless communication device. Since the setting is automatically made, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a nearby person feels discomfort due to a ring tone when a call is received. At this time, the user can freely set parameters related to the automatic switching. For example, more flexible automatic switching can be realized by freely setting the threshold value of the traveling speed according to the speed of public transportation used daily by the user.

The above-described first to fifth embodiments can be implemented in appropriate combinations. Further, in the first to fifth embodiments, the case where the incoming call notification mode is sound or housing vibration is described. However, in the present invention, the case where the incoming call notification mode is other than sound or housing vibration is also used. Can be applied. For example, incoming notification mode is sound,
The present invention can also be applied to at least two cases of housing vibration and message recording.

In the first to fifth embodiments, the case where the portable terminal device is a portable radio communication device such as a portable telephone or a PHS is described. However, in the present invention, the portable terminal device is a pager or the like. The case can also be applied.

[0081]

As described above, according to the portable terminal device and the incoming call notification method of the present invention, when it is determined that the mobile terminal is moving at high speed based on the moving speed information, the incoming call notification mode is set by the vibration of the housing of the portable terminal device. Automatically, the user does not need to consciously set the incoming call notification mode to the incoming call notification due to the vibration of the housing in an environment that requires consideration for the surroundings, such as when using public transportation. The effect is obtained that the setting is automatically changed to the incoming call notification by sound after the use of the transportation is finished.

When the user wants to stop automatic switching of the incoming call notification mode, the user can change the mode to manual switching by operating the automatic / manual selection means. Further, by using the ambient noise level measurement and the moving speed measurement together, an effect is obtained that the incoming call notification mode can be automatically switched even in an environment where the vehicle is not moving at high speed.
