In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention described in claim 1 comprises an incoming notification means for notifying operation of being accompanied by an incoming call to a mobile terminal, and an exterior body having an external appearance of an animal for accommodating the incoming notification means. Therefore, when the incoming call notification means is accompanied by a call to the mobile terminal, the appearance of the exterior body having the appearance shape of the animal accommodating the incoming call means, for example, a "mouse" has a design appearance. The exterior body appears to be in the notification operation, which can cause fun.

In addition, the term "appearance of the animal" as used herein is a concept that includes the appearance of a cat, human, a virtual animal, a virtual creature, a mascot, a specific character, and the like. Only a portion (e.g., top, bottom, side, all, or back) has the appearance of a cat, human, virtual animal, virtual creature, mascot, or specific character, while other portions are, for example, boxes You may be provided with the shape and cylindrical shape.

In the invention described in claim 2, the incoming call notification means is configured to notify by vibrating. Therefore, when there is an incoming call to the mobile terminal, the incoming notification means inside vibrates, and further, the exterior body vibrates. Therefore, if the incoming call notification device is placed on a table or the like, for example, an external body having an appearance such as a “mouse” vibrates whenever the incoming call is made, and at the same time, it is displaced on the table or the like with vibration.

In the invention described in Claim 3, the incoming notification means and the exterior body are separate entities, and the incoming notification means is detachable to the exterior body. Therefore, the call notification means can be taken out from the exterior body and used alone, or can be mounted on the exterior body and used while generating the above fun.

In the invention described in claim 4, a housing portion is formed in the exterior body, and the incoming communication means is freely accessible to the housing portion. Therefore, when the call notification means is used as a group, or arranged in an exterior, it is easy to enter and exit the call notification means.

In the invention set forth in claim 5, the incoming notification means operates in a notification pattern different for each incoming call. Apparently, it looks like the exterior works in a different pattern for each incoming call.

In the invention described in claim 6, the incoming notification means changes the notification pattern every predetermined time to operate the notification. Therefore, apparently, the motion of the exterior body seems to be changing.

Moreover, in the invention of Claim 7, the said call notification means changes the intensity | strength of the said vibration. Therefore, when the exterior of the exterior body is an animal, if it is placed on the table or the like, the exterior body having the exterior of the animal will stir on the table or the like in various ways as if the exterior body having the exterior of the animal is similar to the vibration.

In the invention as set forth in claim 8, the call notification means generates the vibration by a motor, and has control means for controlling the rotational direction of the motor. Therefore, as the motor rotates forward and reverse, the vibration form changes in various ways, and the vibration form of the exterior body also changes in various ways, and the movement of the exterior body on the table or the like becomes interesting.

Further, in the invention described in claim 9, the incoming notification means further has a rhythm pattern generating means for generating a rhythm pattern, and changes the vibration to this rhythm pattern. Accordingly, the vibration of the exterior body also changes to a predetermined rhythm pattern, and the movement of the exterior body on a table or the like becomes rhythmic.

Accordingly, the vibration of the exterior body becomes rhythmic and accompanied by the vibration and music of the rhythmic exterior body, the sight and hearing of the viewer are refreshed.

In the invention as set forth in claim 12, the call notification means performs a notification operation in a different notification pattern according to the character of the exterior body accommodated and arranged. That is, if the character of the exterior body is "cat", the notification means notifies by the notification pattern of "cat", whereby appearance and movement match.

In the invention described in claim 13, the incoming call notification means performs a notification operation on at least one of voice and vibration. Thus, for example, the notification operation is performed by the "cat" crying, the vibration of the "cat" movement, or the quantum notification operation.

According to the invention described in claim 14, the incoming notification means is capable of notification operation in a different notification pattern according to the character, and has switching means for switching to the other notification pattern, and the exterior body is provided with the destination notification means. Accompanied with the installation, it has a switching driving means for switching the switching means in accordance with the character of the exterior body. Thus, for example, when the call notification means is attached to an exterior body having a character of "cat", the switching means provided with the call notification means is provided with a "cat" The notification pattern is switched to notify operation. As a result, when an incoming call is received to the mobile terminal, the outer body having the character of "cat" is notified by the notification pattern of "cat". For example, if the incoming notification means is attached to an exterior having a character of "rat", the switching means provided on the exterior of the exterior accommodating the switching means provided on the exterior of the destination notification means "rat". The notification pattern is switched to notify operation. Accordingly, when there is an incoming call to the mobile terminal, the exterior body having the character of "rat" is notified by the notification pattern of "rat". In other words, when the incoming call is received by simply attaching the incoming call notification means to the exterior body, the mounted incoming notification means operates the notification operation in accordance with the notification pattern suitable for the character of the exterior body.

In the invention set forth in claim 15, the incoming notification means is a notification operation by emitting light, and the exterior body has a light transmitting portion for transmitting light emitted from the incoming notification means housed therein. Therefore, when the incoming notification means emits light with the incoming call to the mobile terminal, the light is irradiated to the outside through the light transmitting portion of the exterior body. Therefore, by using the light projecting part as the eye part of the character of the exterior body, it is possible to stimulate the vision of the viewer using the exterior body and light.

In the invention described in claim 16, the call notification means performs a notification operation by vibrating together with the light emission, so that both of them are synchronized. Therefore, the visual is stimulated by the movement of the exterior body accompanied by the vibration and vibration of the exterior body and light, and also the exterior body.

In the invention described in claim 17, the incoming notification means further includes music generating means for generating music, and at least one of the light emission and vibration is changed in accordance with music from the music generating means. Therefore, not only the visual is stimulated by the movement of the exterior body accompanied by the vibration and vibration of the exterior body and light, but also the exterior body, and the hearing is also stimulated by music.

Moreover, in the invention of Claim 18, the said exterior body has a movable part in which the said vibration is transmitted and excited. In other words, if the exterior is in the form of an animal, and the tail or the ear is a movable part, the tail or the ear vibrates individually when the incoming notification means vibrates with reception to the mobile terminal.

Moreover, in the invention of Claim 19, the rotating body which freely rotates is provided in the bottom part of the said exterior body. Therefore, when placed on a table or the like, the incoming call notification means vibrates with the incoming call to the mobile terminal, and when the exterior body vibrates with this, the rotating body can rotate and accompany the vibration, and the exterior body can move.

Moreover, in the invention of Claim 20, the convex part which protrudes below is provided in the bottom part of the said exterior body. Therefore, when placed on a table or the like, the exterior body comes into contact with the table at the tip of the convex portion so that the contact area is small. Therefore, when the incoming call notification means vibrates with the incoming call to the mobile terminal, and the exterior body vibrates with this, the exterior body easily moves on the table or the like with the vibration.

Further, in the invention described in claim 21, the exterior body has an interlocking portion that operates in synchronization with the notification operation of the incoming call notification means. Therefore, when the incoming call notification means is notified when the call is received by the mobile terminal, when the interlocking portion of the exterior body, for example, the exterior body is in the form of an animal, and the tail or ear is operated by a motor or the like, It is known that an incoming call has been caused by the movement of the tail and ears accompanying the operation of this motor.

In the invention described in claim 22, the exterior body includes a movable portion, and the incoming notification means drives the movable portion to perform notification operation. That is, for example, if the exterior body is an animal, and the tail or ear is in the form of a rotatable animal, the incoming call notification means notifies the incoming call by rotating the tail or ear when there is an incoming call to the mobile terminal.

In the case according to claim 23, the exterior notification unit is provided with a receptacle which is detachably accommodated, and the exterior shape is the exterior shape of the animal. Therefore, when the incoming notification unit is properly placed in the receiving portion, it appears that an exterior body having an appearance similar to that of the animal when the incoming call to the mobile terminal is carrying out the incoming notification.

In the exterior body according to claim 24, the notification operation is a light emission operation performed upon reception of the portable terminal, and further includes a transmission portion for transmitting light emitted in accordance with the light emission operation. Therefore, when the incoming notification unit emits light in conjunction with the incoming call to the mobile terminal, the light is irradiated to the outside through the light-transmitting part of the exterior, and light can be generated from the exterior of the exterior of the animal, thereby generating fun. .

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows the appearance of the incoming call notification device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and the incoming call notification device 1 has an exterior body 2. The exterior body 2 is a stuffed toy that mimics a mouse, and its shape is maintained by a bag-like skin 3 made of a cloth or the like and a filler 4 such as a surface filled inside the skin 3. It is. A substantially U-shaped clamp 5 is attached to an end of the exterior body 2, and a ring 7 provided at an end of the tail 6 as a movable part is fitted to the clamp 5 so as to be movable. As shown in FIG. 2, the inside of the exterior body 2 is provided with the accommodating part 8 which is open on the bottom side, The bottom part of this accommodating part 8 is the cover part 3a extended to the skin 3 and is provided. It is opened and closed freely by.

In the accommodating part 8, a reception notification unit 9 is arranged. As shown in Fig. 3, the incoming notification unit 9 includes an antenna 10 for receiving a response signal generated by the mobile terminal (mobile phone) in response to the incoming call to the mobile terminal. Is connected to the radio wave detector 11. The radio wave detector 11 detects the incoming radio wave received by the antenna 10 and generates a predetermined incoming pattern signal, and the amplifier 12 amplifies the incoming pattern signal to a level that the CPU 13 can recognize. do.

The CPU 13 controls each unit while using the RAM 15 as a work area based on a program stored in the ROM 14, and determines whether there is an incoming signal or whether there is an incoming signal based on the input signal pattern. The vibrator drive circuit 16 and the sound source 17 are controlled based on this determination result. The vibrator drive circuit 16 is connected to a vibrator motor 18 which is a driving unit of the vibrator, a speaker 19 is connected to the sound source 17, and a timer 20 is connected to the CPU 13.

The vibration pattern data (1) to (n) shown in Fig. 4 are stored in the ROM 14 together with the program. The vibration pattern data is composed of a combination of the stop (0), the strong and the weak and the rotational directions (forward rotation and reverse rotation) of the vibr motor 18. In addition, the ROM 14 stores a plurality of pieces of melody data of a predetermined piece of music, such as "Doremi's song" and "Cat's dance," while rhythm pattern data such as "Waltz" and "Mambo" contain a plurality of rhythm types. I remember.

In the present embodiment having the above configuration, when the power supply is in the ON state, the CPU 13 operates according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 based on the program, and the input of the input signal or the incoming pattern signal has been input from the amplifier 12. It is judged whether or not there is (step SA1). When the mobile terminal generates a response signal accompanied by an incoming call to the corresponding mobile terminal, it is received by the antenna 10 and the radio wave detector 11 generates an incoming pattern signal. When the incoming pattern signal is input through the amplifier 12, the process proceeds from step SA1 to step SA2, and randomly selects any of the vibration patterns 1 to (n) shown in Fig. 4 (step SA2). Subsequently, the vibrator drive circuit 16 is controlled in accordance with the selected vibration pattern (step SA3). Accordingly, the vibrating motor 18 operates according to either of the vibration patterns 1 to (n), and the incoming notification unit 9 vibrates in the corresponding pattern, so that the incoming notification unit 9 may receive an incoming call. Each time it vibrates in a different pattern.

Then, the vibration of the incoming communication unit 9 is transmitted to the exterior body 2, and the exterior body 2 also vibrates in the same vibration pattern. At this time, the exterior body 2 is in the form of a rat, and exhibits a shape in which the rat is notified by vibration or a live rat shape, thereby generating visual fun. If the incoming notification device 1 is placed on a table or the like, the incoming notification device 1 is moved by vibration, and the exterior body 2 looks like a mouse moving on a table or the like. 18), the movement of the exterior body 2 on the table or the like becomes interesting as well as the movement of the exterior 2 on the table and the like, and also the visual fun is obtained. In addition, as described above, when the notification operation is performed in different notification patterns for each incoming call, the appearance 2 seems to operate in a different pattern for each incoming call. In addition, the tail portion 6 is vibrated separately from the exterior body 2 and is excited by the vibration from the exterior body 2, so that the visual fun is further enhanced.

On the other hand, in the flow of FIG. 5, in step SA4 following step SA3, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed based on the time value of the timer 20, and if the predetermined time has elapsed, the process from step SA1 is repeated. Therefore, if the call is in the incoming state at this time, the processes of steps SA1 to SA4 are repeatedly executed. Therefore, the vibration patterns of the incoming communication unit 9 and the exterior body 2 change every predetermined time, and apparently, the movement of the rat of the exterior body 2 seems to be changing, thereby providing visual fun. have.

In addition, when the cover part 3a is opened, it is also possible to take out the incoming notification unit 9 accommodated in the accommodating part 8, and to use it as a unit, so that the use mode can be easily changed. In addition, by receiving the existing incoming notice unit 9 in the accommodating part 8, this incoming notice apparatus 1 can also be manufactured at low cost.

In this embodiment, when the portable terminal generates a response signal accompanied by an incoming call to the corresponding portable terminal as described above, it is received by the antenna 10 and the radio wave detector 11 receives the incoming pattern signal. And the incoming pattern signal is inputted to the CPU 13 via the amplifier 12. However, in a system in which an incoming call detection device is provided separately from the portable terminal, and the incoming call pattern signal is radiated from the incoming call detection device, the incoming call pattern signal is received by the antenna 10, and the incoming call pattern signal is a radio wave detector. Input to the CPU 13 via the amplifier 11 and the amplifier 12. As a result, the determination of step SA1 is made with the input signal, and the processing after step SA2 is performed.

Fig. 6 shows the processing procedure of the CPU 13 in the second embodiment of the present invention. In other words, when the power supply is in the ON state, the CPU 13 operates according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 based on the program, and determines whether or not an input signal or an incoming pattern signal has been input from the amplifier 12 (step SB1). . When the mobile terminal generates a response signal accompanied by an incoming call to the corresponding mobile terminal, it is received by the antenna 10 and the radio wave detector 11 generates an incoming pattern signal. When the incoming pattern signal is input through the amplifier 12, the process proceeds from step SB1 to step SB2 to randomly select one of the songs stored in the ROM 14 (step SB2), and further to the ROM 14; One of the stored rhythm pattern data is randomly selected (step SB3). Subsequently, the melody and the rhythm pattern based on the melody data of the selected song are automatically played (step SB4). Thus, for example, the melody "Doremi's song" is automatically played along with the rhythm pattern "Mambo".

Next, the vibe motor 18 is controlled in accordance with this automatic performance (step SB5). Accordingly, the vibr motor 18 operates while reversing the strength or the forward rotation in accordance with the melody and the rhythm pattern which are automatically played, and the incoming notification unit 9 vibrates in accordance with the melody and the rhythm pattern. Then, the vibration of the incoming communication unit 9 is transmitted to the exterior body 2 and the melody and the rhythm pattern are soundproofed, and the exterior body 2 vibrates in synchronization with the melody and the rhythm pattern. Therefore, if the call notification device 1 is placed on a table or the like, the call notification device 1 is rhythmically displaced by vibrations synchronized with the melody and the rhythm pattern, and the sight and hearing of the viewer are refreshed.

On the other hand, in the flow of Fig. 6, in step SB6 subsequent to step SB5, it is determined whether or not the automatic playing of the selected song has ended, and if so, the process from step SB1 is repeated. Therefore, if the call is in the incoming state at this time, the processing of steps SB1 to SB6 is repeatedly executed, and the tune and rhythm pattern to be played automatically change.

Fig. 7 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, wherein a convex portion 21 protruding downward is formed at the bottom of the exterior body 2, and the convex portion 21 has a sharp tip. Therefore, when placed on a table or the like, the exterior body 2 comes into contact with the table at the tip of the convex portion 21, resulting in a small contact area. Therefore, when the incoming notification unit 9 vibrates with the incoming call to the mobile terminal and the exterior body 2 vibrates with this, the exterior body 2 moves on the table or the like in conjunction with the vibration. It's easy to move and widen the range, which increases the fun.

FIG. 8 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which a roller 22 is rotatably supported at the bottom of the exterior body 2. Therefore, when placed on a table or the like, the exterior body 2 is easy to move. Therefore, when the incoming notification unit 9 vibrates with the incoming call to the mobile terminal, and the exterior body 2 vibrates with this, the exterior body 2 accompanies this vibration more widely on the table or the like. To increase the fun.

9-12 show the 5th Embodiment of this invention, As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, this incoming communication apparatus 1 has the exterior body 30. As shown in FIG. The exterior body 30 is a plastic hollow body that mimics a duck, and has a light-transmitting portion 31 through which light can pass. Inside the exterior body 30, the reception notification unit 32 is installed and supported so that it can be pulled out, and the LED 33 is disposed at a portion of the reception notification unit 32 facing the light-transmitting part 31. It is. As shown in Fig. 11, the incoming notification unit 33 according to the present embodiment is connected to the LED driving circuit 34 and the LED driving circuit 34 in the circuit of the incoming notification unit 9 shown in Fig. 3 described above. It is comprised by adding the said LED 33 driven by.

In the present embodiment having the above configuration, when the power supply is in the ON state, the CPU 13 operates according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 12 based on the program. In this flowchart, the processes of steps SC1 to SC5 and step SC7 are described above. It is the same process as that of step SB1-SB6 of FIG. The only other step SC6 controls the LEDs for autoplay. As a result, the LED driving circuit 34 drives the LED 33 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 13, and blinks in accordance with the melody and rhythm pattern in which the LED 33 automatically plays.

Then, the light from the LED 33 is irradiated to the outside through the light-transmitting portion 31 which is the eye portion of the duck, which is the exterior body 30, thereby stimulating the vision. Therefore, the visual is stimulated by the movement of the exterior body 30 accompanied by the vibration and vibration of the exterior body 30, and the hearing is stimulated by the melody and the rhythm, as well as the appearance and the light transmitting part 31 of the exterior body 30. Visual is stimulated by light from) and can raise fun more.

13 to 16 show a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the cat outer body 40 that mimics the cat shown in FIG. 13A and the mouse outer body that mimic the mouse shown in FIG. 41 is prepared in advance. At the bottom of both exterior bodies 40 and 41, the accommodating part 43 which has the opening 42 of the same shape is provided in the same C figure, and the recessed part is centered in the predetermined frame part center of this opening 42. As shown in FIG. The dent 44 is formed. As shown in the same diagram of D, the concave and convex portions 44 of the cat exterior body 40 are provided with the right curved grooves 45 extending in a curved shape in the right direction in succession. In the concave and distorted portions 44 of the rat outer shell 41, left curved grooves 46 extending in a curved shape in the left direction are successively provided.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 14, the incoming notification unit 47 according to the present embodiment has the same shape as that of the opening 42 in plan view, has a slide switch circuit portion 48 at one end, and the slide switch circuit portion. The slide operation piece 49 of 48 is provided in the center of one end part. And this slide switch circuit part 48 is comprised so that it can switch to "OFF", "1", and "2" by displacing the slide operation piece 49 to a center position and both sides.

As shown in FIG. 15, the circuit of the incoming call notification unit 47 is configured by replacing the timer 20 in FIG. In this embodiment, however, the ROM 14 stores a vibration pattern for cats, a vibration pattern for rats, a cat cry waveform, and a mouse cry waveform.

In this embodiment which concerns on the above structure, the opening notification unit 47 with the slide operation piece 49 in an OFF position is made into the opening part 42 in the accommodating part 43 of the cat exterior body 40, for example. When inserted through, the slide operation piece 49 is fitted into the concave and distorted portion 44. In this state, when the reception notification unit 47 is inserted into the receiving portion 43 again, the slide operation piece 49 is guided to the right curved groove 45 and slides, and the slide operation piece 49 is “ Slide from the "OFF" position to the "1" position (right). And when the incoming notification unit 47 reaches the predetermined position of the receiving portion 43, the slide operation piece 49 also reaches the position of "1", and thus the incoming notification unit 47 to the cat exterior body 40 When mounted, the slide switch circuit 48 is set to "1".

In addition, when the slide notification piece 49 is inserted into the receiving notification unit 47 in the OFF position, for example, into the receiving portion 43 of the mouse outer body 41 through the opening 42, the slide piece 49 becomes It fits into the recessed portion 44. In this state, when the reception notification unit 47 is inserted into the receiving portion 43 again, the slide operation piece 49 is guided to the left curved groove 46 and slides, and the slide operation piece 49 is “ Slide from the "OFF" position to the "2" position (left). And when the incoming notification unit 47 reaches the predetermined position of the receiving portion 43, the slide operation piece 49 also reaches the position of "2", so that the incoming notification unit 47 to the mouse outer body 41 When mounted, the slide switch circuit 48 is set to "2".

In this way, when the incoming notification unit 47 is mounted on either of the exterior bodies 40 and 41, and the slide switch circuit 48 is set to "1" or "2", the CPU 13 sends a program to the program. It operates according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 16 based on it, and determines whether there was an input of the input signal or the incoming pattern signal from the amplifier 12 (step SD1). When the mobile terminal generates a response signal accompanied by an incoming call to the corresponding mobile terminal, it is received by the antenna 10 and the radio wave detector 11 generates an incoming pattern signal.

When the incoming pattern signal is input through the amplifier 12, the flow advances from step SD1 to step SD2 to determine whether the slide switch circuit 48 is "1" (step SD2). As a result of this determination, if the slide switch circuit 48 is "1" and the incoming notification unit 47 is attached to the cat exterior body 40, the process proceeds from step SD2 to step SD3, and is stored in the ROM 14. The vibr motor 18 is controlled by the vibration pattern of use (step SD3). Further, the cat's crying waveform is read from the ROM 14 and given to the sound source 17 to generate the cat's cry from the speaker 19 (step SD4). Therefore, when the incoming notification unit 47 is mounted on the cat exterior body 40, the cat exterior body 40 vibrates in the form of the cat's vibration when there is an incoming call, and the cat's crying sounds are generated.

If the result of the discrimination in step SD2 is that the slide switch circuit 48 is not "1", it is inevitably "2", and the incoming notification unit 47 is mounted on the mouse outer body 41. In this case, the step from step SD2 is performed. Proceeding to SD5, the vibe motor 18 is controlled by the vibration pattern for the mouse stored in the ROM 14. Further, the mouse crying waveform is read from the ROM 14 and given to the sound source 17 to generate the mouse crying from the speaker 19 (step SD6). Therefore, when the incoming notification unit 47 is mounted on the mouse outer body 41, when the incoming call is received, the mouse outer body 41 vibrates in the form of the rat's vibration and at the same time, the mouse cries occur. Therefore, the call notification can be performed in the form of a movement and pronunciation matched to the character of both the exterior bodies 40 and 41 by a simple operation of simply attaching the incoming communication unit 47 to the exterior bodies 40 and 41.

In this embodiment, the slide notification operation of the incoming notification unit 47 is made to correspond to the appearance of the two types of exterior bodies 40 and 41 by using the exterior bodies 40 and 41 having two different appearance shapes. Although the piece 49 is switched in conjunction with the attachment of the incoming notification unit 47 to the exterior bodies 40 and 41, it is also possible to use a plurality of types of exterior bodies and to make the incoming notification unit in multiple stages depending on the type of exterior body. The user may switch the slide operation pieces according to their taste for each of various types of exterior bodies.
