Description

Mobile communication terminal with silent answering feature and method for the same}

The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal and a method for responding without making a sound, and more particularly, to a mobile communication terminal and a method for making a response without making a sound using a pre-recorded voice.

Recently, as the mobile communication service area is expanded with the development of mobile communication technology, the spread of mobile communication terminals is also expanding. In addition, as the spread of mobile communication terminals has increased, the base of the user has also expanded, leading to office workers, adolescents, housewives and the general public.

However, as the spread of mobile communication terminals expands, it provides convenience for users to communicate quickly, but also causes a negative effect due to the fact that many users can use almost anywhere. For example, many people frequently use mobile communication terminals in public places, public transportation such as buses and subways, or libraries and movie theaters that require quietness, and private calls are heard. It can be unpleasant to be heard by the people of the Lord.

To this end, the user may silently process various types of tones such as a ringtone at the reception or a keytone generation sound at the dialing, or provide a function called 'silent mode' to notify the user as a silent signal such as a vibration at the time of receiving a call. Mobile communication terminals are provided to prevent inconvenience to users and are being spread to users.

However, even in the 'silent mode' function, it does not emit a beeping sound only when the first call is made or the call is received. Therefore, there is no way to communicate without using fostering a call. There was only.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and employs a silent response method that can record voice data having a simple response content in advance on a mobile communication terminal and respond without making a sound by transmitting the voice data during a call. An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal capable of silent response and a method thereof.

1 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a mobile communication terminal capable of an unvoiced response according to the present invention;

2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a mobile communication terminal capable of an unvoiced response according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the configuration of a mobile communication terminal employing the quiet response method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a mobile communication terminal employing a quiet response method according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the radio circuit unit 11 converts a high frequency signal received from the other party into a baseband signal. The signal converted into the baseband is separated into an audio signal and a data signal in the baseband unit 12 so that the audio signal is sent to the audio processor 13 and the data signal is sent to the controller 10. The audio processor 13 transmits the audio signal received from the baseband unit 12 to the handset 14 through voice reproduction so that the receiver can listen to the voice by voice, and the control unit 10 controls the baseband unit 12. ) Is stored in the memory 17 or is visually visible to the user through the display unit 15.

The memory 17 may store not only data received from the counterpart, but also text input through the input unit 16 and voice data through the handset 14. The user stores in advance the response contents of the positive contents to be used in the quiet response mode and the contents of the negative contents in the memory 17 by using a predetermined button provided in the mobile communication terminal.

For example, when recording the voice content in the silent response mode, numbers are assigned to the response content of the positive content and the response content of the negative content, respectively, so that the response of the positive content is stored at the first time and the response of the negative content is stored at the second time. Put it. Therefore, in the case of sending the response contents to the other party later, when the first press is pressed, the response contents of the positive contents are pressed, and when the second press is pressed, the contents of the negative contents are sent.

"Yes" is an example of the response of affirmative content, "No" is an example of a response of a negative content. Of course, the user can record the response of the affirmative or the response of the affirmative.

In addition, the input unit 16 is composed of a number having a general dialing function, '*', '#', other menu buttons, etc., and also the 'normal mode' and 'quiet response mode' switching button or the memory 17 It may further include a button having a function for transmitting the response content of the positive content and the response content of the negative content stored in the.

In addition, the controller 10 controls mode switching between the normal mode and the quiet response mode. The general mode refers to a mode that emits various signals such as ringtones and keytones when a call is received, and the quiet response mode is a crowded public place, a public transportation such as a bus or subway, or a library requiring quietness. In order to prevent the sound of his phone call from disturbing others in a movie theater or the like, the user may use a predetermined button to silence the beeping sound by vibrating a ringtone and not generating a keytone sound. The voice data stored in advance can be transmitted. For example, as described above, the corresponding voice data is transmitted by pressing a predetermined button respectively assigned to the response information of the positive or negative stored in the memory 17 in advance. In addition, the controller 10 controls functions necessary for other general calls and menu settings.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a flowchart for explaining an embodiment according to the present invention.

The user must record in advance the response contents to be used in the quiet response mode, that is, the positive answer and the negative answer. For example, the user may store affirmative answers in the quiet response mode as 'yes' and negative answers as 'no' in the menu setting function by using a predetermined button provided in the mobile communication terminal.

First, when the call request signal is received from the other party (S10), it is checked whether the quiet response mode or the normal mode (S20).

In the quiet response mode, the vibration motor is driven to notify the receiver of a call request from the other party (S30).

When the receiver wants to make a call, the user starts a call by pressing an appropriate button or opening a folder (example of S40). If the phone does not answer (No in S40), the vibration motor stops vibration and the terminal returns to the reception standby state.

The receiver who receives the call hears the call from the other party and decides whether or not to answer affirmative (S60), and if the answer is affirmative, press a button to send a prerecorded positive response to the other party. To transmit (S61).

If it is determined that the answer to the negative (S70), by pressing the button for transmitting the pre-recorded negative response content to send the negative voice content to the other party (S71).

In addition, when receiving a call in the quiet response mode, it is also possible to send a voice message from the terminal indicating that the answer is only 'yes' or 'no' because the current quiet response mode. If the user presses the call end button during this call, the call is terminated (S80), otherwise, the process returns to step S60 to continue to listen to the call of the other party.

If the mode setting in step S20 is not the silent response mode, but in the normal mode, the receiver is notified of the incoming call with a predetermined ring tone (S25) and the call is made (S26).

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated with drawing and Example, this invention is not limited to a specific Example, The person of ordinary skill in the art, many corrections and a change without departing from the scope of this invention. I will understand this possible.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, although the user has previously set the mode of the mobile communication terminal to the quiet response mode, the quiet response is possible by switching to the quiet response mode during a call even when the user sets the normal mode. You can also do that. In this case, after the step S26, a quiet response mode switching step may be further provided to switch to the quiet response mode, and the process may proceed to step S60. Since the process after step S60 has already been described in the above embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, according to the present invention, since a response can be made without a voice during a call with the other party, a public place crowded with a lot of people, public transportation such as a bus or subway, or a library or movie theater requiring quietness There is an effect that his or her telephone call from the back can not cause inconvenience to others.
