3 is an operation flowchart of a reception program of the finger phone.

The operation step upon reception of the finger phone prepares for reception (step S1), checks whether the reception is OK (step S2), if the reception is not OK, repeatedly waits (step S3) and checks whether the reception is OK. If reception is OK, the reception operation is performed (step S4) to check the reception mode stored in the memory (step S5).

It is checked whether it is the knocking function mode (step S6), and if it is a tapping function mode, the Knock motor repeatedly performs knocking (step S8).

If not in the tapping function mode, the reception LED is repeatedly turned on / off (step S7).

When the user checks whether or not the reception is performed (step S9), the reception is stopped or the LED is stopped or turned off (step S10), and other reception corresponding operations are performed (step S11).

If the user does not receive, the operation is repeated again from the reception mode check stored in the above-described memory (step S5).

4 is an operation flowchart of a reception program of a finger phone associated with a speaker or a wireless input / output interface.

The operation step of receiving a finger phone related to the speaker or the wireless input / output interface prepares a reception operation (step S12), checks the speaker mode or the wireless input / output mode in the reception mode stored in the memory (step S13) and checks the speaker mode (step S14).

In the speaker mode, the wireless input / output function with the computer or the like is turned off and the speaker is turned on (step S15). If it is not the speaker mode, it is checked whether it is the wireless input / output mode (step S16).

If it is the wireless input / output mode, it is checked whether it is the earphone mode (step S17), and if it is not the wireless input / output mode, other corresponding operation is performed (step S21).

In the step of checking whether the earphone is in the earphone mode (step S17), if the earphone mode, the speaker is turned off, the wireless output is turned on and the transmission corresponding operation is performed using an infrared or Bluetooth interface (step S18).

If not in the earphone mode, check whether the computer input / output (I / O) mode (step S19), if the computer I / O, turn off the speaker, turn on the wireless input / output, perform the corresponding operation using the infrared or Bluetooth interface, (Step S20), if not the computer I / O, other corresponding operation is performed (Step S21).

As described above, it will be appreciated that the finger phone device of the present invention provides many features and advantages that were not available in conventional mobile phones or mobile phones. For example, the finger phone device provided by the present invention eliminates the effect of electromagnetic waves on the brain of a conventional mobile phone, can always detect vibration even in a noisy place, and knocks with low power consumption instead of vibration. Method, finger phone string is used as annular antenna to transmit / receive signals with high sensitivity and use power efficiently, and there is no need to make antenna separately. It is also possible to dial into the microphone by voice, and it is easy to make it waterproof, so it can be worn and used in water so that it can be used in any emergency situation regardless of time and place.

Although described above with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be variously modified and changed within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below I can understand that you can.
