Description

How to set up incoming call environment on mobile phone

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone, and more particularly to a method for setting various incoming call setup functions.

In general, a mobile phone is configured to set various call-related setting functions as desired by a user. Examples of the call-related setting functions include a bell volume adjustment function for adjusting the bell volume, a speaker volume adjustment function for adjusting the speaker volume, a microphone gain adjustment function for adjusting the microphone gain, and a vibration mode. There is a vibration mode selection function that can select or select. These call-related setting functions are appropriately set by the user according to the receiving environment or preference.

On the other hand, when using a mobile phone, the reception environment varies depending on the situation or place where the user is placed. For example, when a user watches a movie in a theater, is in a street, or has a meeting, there may be various situations.

In such a case, the user had to reset various incoming call setting functions every time. For example, if you are attending a meeting with a mobile phone that has various call-related settings set for a noisy distance, you can mute the bell, select the vibration mode, and increase the microphone gain instead of reducing the speaker volume. Incoming related setting functions had to be reset according to the receiving environment.

As described above, since a typical mobile phone is configured to set various incoming call setting functions separately, it is inconvenient to set each incoming call setting function one by one each time a user wants to reset the incoming call. There was a ham.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a call environment setting method in which a user can collectively set various call-related setting functions suited to a call environment desired by a user.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a process for inputting the setting conditions selected by the user for each of the various call-related setting functions for each incoming environment mode specified by the user in the incoming environment editing mode, and the setting conditions Storing the setting data according to the designated reception environment mode in the memory; reading out the setting data corresponding to the selected reception environment mode from the memory when any one of the reception environment modes is selected by the user; And a process for resetting call-related setting functions according to the set-up data. The called environment editing mode refers to a mode in which the user preselects setting conditions for various incoming call related setting functions for each expected call environment. The incoming environment mode may be classified into, for example, a theater, a street, a conference, a standard, and the like.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a mobile phone to which the present invention is applied. In FIG. 1, a memory unit 102, a key pad 104, a display unit 106, an RF (Radio Frequency) module 110, a baseband processor 112, and a codec The control unit 100 connected to the Coder-Decoder 114 performs voice signal and data processing for a general telephone call or data communication and controls each part of the mobile phone. As the control unit 100, when the cellular phone of Fig. 1 adopts the CDMA (Code Division Mutiple Access) method, for example, a Qualcomm MSM (Mobile System Mode) chip is used. The MSM chip includes a microprocessor, a CDMA processor, a vocoder, and the like. In the following description, the description of the processing and control of the control unit 100 for a conventional telephone call or data communication or various additional functions not directly related to the present invention will be omitted.

The memory unit 102 connected to the control unit 100 includes an electrically erasable and programmable ROM (EEPROM), a flash memory, a random access memory (RAM), and the like, to process and control the control unit 100. A program and various reference data are stored, and a working memory of the controller 100 is provided. The keypad 104 includes various keys including numeric keys to provide the controller 100 with a key input input by a user. The display unit 106 typically includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) to display various information as an image under the control of the controller 100. The RF module 110 transmits and receives an RF signal with the base station through the antenna 108. The RF module 110 converts the received RF signal into an IF (Intermediate Frequency) signal and outputs the signal to the baseband processor 112 and the baseband processor 112. IF signal inputted from) is converted into RF signal and transmitted.

The baseband processor 112 is a baseband analog ASIC (BBA) that provides an interface between the controller 100 and the RF module 110. The baseband processor 112 converts a baseband digital signal applied from the controller 100 into an analog IF signal. The signal is converted and applied to the RF module 110, and the analog IF signal applied from the RF module 110 is converted into a digital signal of the baseband and applied to the controller 100.

In addition, the codec 114 connected to the control unit 100 is connected to the microphone 118 and the speaker 120 through the amplifying unit 116, and the PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) encoding of the voice signal input from the microphone 118 ( After encoding, the voice data is output to the controller 100, and the PCM decoding of the voice data input from the controller 100 is performed to output the voice signal to the speaker 120 through the amplifier 118. The amplifier 116 amplifies the voice signal input from the microphone 118 or the voice signal output to the speaker 120. The volume of the speaker 120 and the gain of the microphone 118 are controlled by the control unit 100. Adjust accordingly. The ringer 122 generates a ring tone under the control of the controller 100, and the vibrator 124 generates vibration under the control of the controller 100.

In the mobile phone as described above, the incoming call environment editing mode of the present invention is usually added as an item of a user selectable menu, or selected using a specific key on the keypad 104. Accordingly, the user can select or exit the call environment editing mode by menu selection or key input.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing of the receiving environment editing process according to the selection of the receiving environment editing mode. The process of the control unit 100 is shown in the steps (200) to (214). First, when the user selects the reception environment editing mode by the input of the keypad 104 in step 200, the control unit 100 performs step 202. In step 202, the control unit 100 displays the incoming call environment editing menu on the display unit 106. The reception environment editing menu may be displayed in the form of ″ 1. theater, 2. distance, 3. meeting, 4. standard ″, for example, if the reception environment modes are set to theater, street, conference, or standard. .

In the above state, the control unit 100 waits for the designation of the incoming call environment mode in step 204, and when the user designates one of the incoming call environment modes through the keypad 104, the call arrives in step 206. The relevant setting function selection menu is displayed on the display unit 106. For example, if the incoming call setting function is set to the bell volume adjustment function, the speaker volume adjustment function, the microphone gain adjustment function, and the vibration mode selection function, for example, "1.bell volume" and "speaker volume". , Microphone gain, vibration, etc.

In the above state, the control unit 100 waits for the selection or termination of the call-related setting function in steps 208 and 214. At this time, if the user selects any one call-related setting function through the keypad 104, the setting menu of the call-related setting function selected in step 210 is displayed on the display unit 106. The setting menu of the call related setting function may be the same as in the normal case.

The control unit 100 inputs the setting conditions input by the user in step 212 and returns to step 208. At this time, the setting conditions are, for example, the bell volume is selected as one of ″ mute ″, ″ up ″, ″ middle ″, and ″ low ″. The setting data according to the input setting conditions are temporarily stored in a volatile memory such as a RAM of the memory unit 102.

By repeating the above steps (208) to (212), all of the setting conditions for the reception related setting functions for the reception environment mode designated by the user are input. Table 1 shows an example of the setting conditions selected for each of the various incoming call setup functions for each incoming call environment mode specified by the user.

Incoming environment mode Bell volume Speaker volume Microphone gain Vibration mode Theater ″ Mute ″ "medium" "Prize" "Selection" Street "Prize" "Prize" "Prize" ″ Non-select ″ conference ″ Mute ″ "medium" "Prize" "Selection" Standard "medium" "medium" "medium" ″ Non-select ″

Thereafter, when the user ends the incoming call environment editing menu through the keypad 104, the control unit 100 performs step 216 in response to the step (214). In step 216, the control unit 100 stores the setting data according to the setting conditions input by the user in a non-volatile memory such as an EEPROM of the memory unit 102 in accordance with the designated reception environment mode. Return to the in-process routine.

Meanwhile, the incoming call environment editing menu and the incoming call setting function selection menu may be any other form. In addition, the incoming call environment mode, the type and name of the call-related setting function can be input and designated as desired by the user. These matters are basically the same as inputting, changing, or deleting various types of information by menu selection in a conventional mobile phone, and thus detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of setting a call environment according to a user's call environment mode selection after the call environment is edited. The process of the control unit 100 is shown in steps 300 to 304. . First, when the user selects one of the incoming call environment modes by the input of the keypad 104 in step 300, the controller 100 performs step 302. In step 302, the control unit 100 reads setting data corresponding to an incoming call environment mode selected by the user from the nonvolatile memory of the memory unit 102. Next, according to the setting data read out in step 304, the receiving related setting functions are reset and returned to the normal processing routine. At this time, for example, when the incoming call environment mode is selected as the ″ meeting ″ shown in Table 1, the control unit 100 controls the amplifier 116 to mute the bell and adjust the speaker volume to ″ mid ″ and the microphone. Adjust the gain to "up" and set the vibration mode. Accordingly, when the user attends the meeting, if the reception environment mode is selected as ″ meeting ″ only, the reception environment is automatically reset accordingly.

Therefore, after the user selects in advance the setting conditions for the various reception-related setting functions for each reception environment mode, if the user selects only the reception environment mode that he / she wants, various reception-related setting functions are reset accordingly. Therefore, even if the incoming environment changes, it is possible to alleviate the inconvenience of having to set various incoming call setup functions one by one.

Meanwhile, in the above description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, in the embodiment of the present invention, the type of the incoming call environment mode and the call-related setting functions may be applied differently. In addition, the receiving environment mode can be set by the manufacturer as the default so that the user does not need to specify the setting conditions separately. Therefore, the scope of the invention should not be defined by the described embodiments, but should be defined by the equivalent of claims and claims.

As described above, the present invention has an advantage that the user can conveniently use various types of call-related setting functions at once at a time when a user selects only a desired call environment mode when the call environment changes.
