Description

Automatic response method for a cellular phone

The present invention relates to an automatic response processing method of a mobile phone, and more particularly, a mobile phone which improves communication convenience by transmitting a predetermined message when a user who has a mobile phone cannot receive a call. It relates to an automatic response processing method.

In the case of using a conventional mobile phone, it is difficult to immediately receive an incoming call while driving a vehicle, and even if a call is received, there are an increasing number of accidents, and cases of reviewing and implementing legal regulations for banning calls while driving are increasing.

While the mobile phone user is in consultation with the customer or attending a meeting or watching a performance, the mobile phone user switches to the vibration manner, but even if it is difficult to receive the incoming call quickly, the power is turned off.

In order to prepare for such a case, conventionally, there is a function of setting the cellular phone on hold, and when a call cannot be received immediately, a message is notified to the calling party through the base station that pressing the hold button does not immediately answer the other party.

However, the message at this time only contains a uniform message, "You can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message or phone number." Halve

In addition, if you store your cell phone in a bag or pass through a noisy area such as a roadside, you may not be able to answer the call immediately or you may not know the incoming status. There is no inconvenience in having to try several calls.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience, the automatic response processing of the mobile phone to improve the convenience of communication by sending a suitable appropriate message is sent when there is an incoming call in the state that the user with a mobile phone can not answer the call Its purpose is to provide a method.

A method for causing a control unit that captures an incoming call through a transmitter / receiver in an auto answer setting mode by an input key to transmit a predetermined voice message recorded in the storage unit: when the call is received in the auto answer setting mode (S30) Sending a message (S31); guiding a specific message confirmation by voice (S32); If there is a confirmation request, guides a phone number input by voice (S34) and determines a match of the phone numbers (S35); Outputting the corresponding recording contents when the telephone numbers match (S36), and guiding the absence of a message by voice when the telephone numbers are mismatched (S37); And it ends through the step (S38) of guiding other messages such as a call by voice.

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

1 is a block diagram showing a circuit connection state of a main functional unit of a mobile phone.

The wireless communication signal transmitted from the base station (not shown) is input to the transmission / reception unit 11 via an antenna and converted into an intermediate frequency signal. The intermediate frequency signal is demodulated into a digital signal by the demodulation unit 12 and then decoded into a digital communication signal and a digital control signal. The digital communication signal is converted into an analog call signal through the voice processor 14 and then output from the receiver 17. The digital control signal is supplied to the control unit 10 equipped with a microprocessor and used as various control information.

The voice of the user input to the talker 18 is converted by the voice processor 14 into an digital talk signal by encoding the analog talk signal. The digital talk signal is encoded by the modulator 12 together with the digital control signal generated by the controller 10 and then modulated into a quadrature modulated signal. The modulated signal is synthesized by the high frequency signal of the radio channel set by the transceiver 11 and then transmitted to the base station through the antenna.

On the other hand, the input key 13 generates a signal in which numbers and symbols are imprinted and discriminated by the key matrix, and the display 16 displays various modes of use of the telephone, the current time, and the like. The alarm 19 may be a vibrator mechanism for a manner function or may be a speakerphone mechanism that generates a constant sound.

The storage unit 15 is composed of a ROM that stores a driving program of a mobile phone, and an EPROM and RAM that stores temporary control and call data.

2 is a flowchart showing a voice message recording process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the method in which the control unit 10, which captures the automatic response recording mode by the input key 13, records a predetermined voice message in the storage unit 15, setting input by the function key set in the first step S20. Receive. The function key may be provided with a button that is exposed to the outside of the mobile phone or may be used as it is. When the user presses a function key for the auto answering mode, the signal is inputted to the control unit 10 and a subroutine program is driven through subsequent steps.

Next, a step S21 of guiding a selection key for a general message and a specific message by voice and receiving a selection input is performed. Voice guidance is made in the form of "press the general message 1, the specific message press 2" and the control unit 10 determines the input state of the first key or the second key from the input key (13).

Next, when the specific message function is selected, a specific phone number is added, and when the general message function is selected, the voice message is stored without adding a phone number (S24). In the step S22 of determining the selection of the public message, if yes, the process proceeds to storing the voice message (S24). If no, the user inputs the voice number of the specific person by voice and receives and stores the input (S23). Proceed to step S24.

When the phone number input or recording is completed in step S23 or step S24, the user inputs a voice to press a specific key on the input key 13. In the case of step S24, the data of the telephone number and the voice message data are connected to enable searching. The telephone number data and the voice message data are each stored in plural and the status thereof is retrievable via the display 16. Recording with several different contents is convenient for mobile phone holders who have the same reason for frequent succession.

Next, a step (S25) of guiding a selection key for confirming recording contents by voice. For example, it outputs a guide voice that says, "Press 1 if you want to hear it again, or press 2 if you want to record it." The controller 10 moves the temporarily stored message contents to a memory area that is not erased even when the power is turned off when the second key is input.

If the first key is pressed instead of the second key, in step S26 of determining the content check, it is determined as the request for the content check, and the recorded information is output. The voice prompt says, "Press 1 if correct or 2 if you want to correct or cancel." When the user who listens to the recording contents is satisfied with the recording state and presses the first key, as described above, the temporarily stored message contents are moved to the memory area which is not erased even when the power is turned off. If you press the 2 key to return to the step S21 or S24 can be modified, if it is terminated as it is can be canceled because the recording is not stored.

Next, if the content confirmation is not requested, the step (S27) is skipped and the voice message is guided by other message recording (S28). The voice prompt says, "Thank you for using. End recording. Press 1 to continue recording another message."

Finally, it is determined whether to return to the step S21 or end according to whether or not recording continues is selected (S29). When the call is terminated, the answering machine recording mode is canceled and the call is returned to the call waiting state.

On the other hand, the capacity to store a message or telephone number is limited to about 10, and once stored, the message is replaced by the first in first out (FIFO) method when the allocated area is filled. Of course, the message that stores the temporary content may be automatically deleted after a certain time.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a recorded message processing process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In a method in which the control unit that catches an incoming call through the transmitter / receiver in the auto answer setting mode by the input key transmits a predetermined voice message recorded in the storage unit, first, when the call is received in the auto answer setting mode (S30). The voice message is sent (S31). If the message "You are currently in a meeting, please call again or leave a message" is displayed, the other party can conveniently predict the next call.

Next, a step (S32) of guiding a specific message confirmation by voice is performed. The voice prompt says, "Press 1 if you want to see if there are any special messages for you."

Next, if there is a confirmation request, the phone number input is guided by voice (S34), and the process of determining the match of the phone number proceeds to step S35. "Press your phone number and * or # key" and when the input is completed, the control unit 10 retrieves the data from the storage unit 15.

At this time, if the phone number is matched, the corresponding recording is output (S36), and if the phone number is mismatched, a step of guiding the voice message is performed (S37). In step S36, the personal message input through the above-described process of FIG. 2 is output as voice. In step S37, because the telephone number is incorrectly input or the user does not input a specific message, the user is informed that there is no special message.

The specific message may include content for a specific person who is expected to call instead of a general message such as driving, attending a meeting, or watching a performance. Using this function, the caller can use the information stored in the message to perform necessary tasks or determine the intention of the other party, even if the caller does not talk directly with the other party. Since a specific number of messages is attached to a specific message, it is not easily accessible to the general public, so that the communication density is maintained to some extent.

Finally, it ends through the step (S38) of guiding other messages such as a call by voice. This step is to be combined with the functions currently used in the mobile phone, it is possible to provide a variety of services.

Meanwhile, the auto answer recording mode of FIG. 2 and the auto answer setting mode of FIG. 3 are provided with a shortcut key to enable switching with only one button.

According to the above configuration and operation, the present invention has the effect of improving the convenience of communication by sending a suitable message set in advance when there is an incoming call in the state that the user with a mobile phone can not receive the call.

It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, such modifications or variations will have to belong to the claims of the present invention.
