After setting the kind and volume size of the bell, a signal is transmitted to the bell/motor unit(22), so that the user can sense the destination state.

Description

Automatic bell setting device according to time zone and method thereof {AUTOMATIC BELL SETTING APPARATUS CORRESPONDING TO A TIME TABLE AND THE METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a mobile phone terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile phone terminal device and method that can select the bell type and size according to the time zone.

Due to the rapid increase in the number of users of mobile wireless terminals, the ring sounds of terminals in public places have reached the level of noise pollution. To prevent this, the user must set the bell by vibrating the terminal in advance.

If the user who is using the mobile phone is a student or office worker, the device is in a vibrating state during class or working hours to prevent the device from ringing during class or meeting. can see. In addition, it is possible to reduce the size of the ringing bell at night to prevent problems caused by ringing.

Figure 1 is a simplified diagram of a conventional mobile phone terminal, as shown, the control unit 10 for controlling the function of the mobile phone, the clock unit 11 having information on the current time, and the bell to inform the incoming situation to the user It consists of the motor part 12. The control unit receives an input from the user to designate the bell type and size, and when the incoming call is detected, the control unit transmits a signal to the bell / motor unit 12 so that the user can detect the incoming situation. The clock unit 11 has information on the current time and thereby displays the current time on the terminal.

When the incoming call notification sound or the incoming call notification vibration is selected by the user input, the mobile phone controller 10 maintains the state until the next user input, and notifies the user of the incoming call using a bell or vibration of a set size according to the set state. .

However, in the prior art as described above, when the ringtone of the terminal needs to be changed frequently at a certain time, there is an inconvenience that the user always needs to operate the terminal to change the type or size of the bell. If you do not receive or do not change from the bell to the vibration there is a problem that can cause damage to others.

Therefore, an object of the present invention for solving the conventional problems as described above is that the user can configure the bell setting table in the mobile phone terminal by setting the bell in accordance with a certain time zone, the user manually changes the bell It is designed to reduce problems and prevent problems caused by forgetting to change the ringtone.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a mobile telephone terminal in which a user can set a ringtone, a table for receiving the bell type and its size according to the time from the user and recording and storing it, compared with the current time bell ring It characterized in that it comprises a mobile phone control unit for automatically changing the type and size of the.

In addition, the present invention is a mobile phone terminal for changing the bell type and size by comparing the bell setting table according to time with the current time of the clock unit, the bell setting table, if it is determined whether to use a pre-stored table The first step of completing the bell setting, the second step of inputting the start time, the end time, the bell type when the table is not stored in the first step, and the selected bell in the second step The third step is to determine whether to save the table created after receiving the bell size if it is not vibration, and to complete the bell setting if the table created in the third step is not saved, and to save the table. And after a fourth step of completing the bell setting.

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

First, Figure 2 is a bell setting table of the present invention, as shown, is configured to have a certain type of bell type, size, start time, end time. First, from 6 to 9 o'clock, the bell 1 is set to 10 when there is an incoming call, and the vibration is maintained from 9 o'clock or 18 o'clock during class or working hours. If there is an incoming call, the bell 1 will ring to the size of five.

The term "bell setting" as used throughout the specification of the present invention means selecting one of a bell type and a vibration mode.

As will be described below, the bell setting table of the present invention may be stored and used, or may be used for a limited time until the next ring tone is changed.

Next, the configuration of the present invention having the bell setting table will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the control unit 20 controls the function of the mobile phone, the clock unit 21 having information on the current time, the bell / motor unit 22 informing the user of an incoming situation, and the bell type for the time zone. And a bell setting table 23 having a volume of the bell sound. The control unit 20 receives the incoming bell type and the size used in a certain time zone from the user and controls to record and store it in the bell setting table, and uses the current time information of the clock unit 21 to set the bell setting table. Obtain the corresponding bell type and size, and through this, set the bell type and size, and transmit the signal to the bell / motor unit 22 so that the user can detect an incoming situation.

As described above, the apparatus of the present invention is configured to generate the bell setting table 23 by using the bell setting information received from the user, thereby automatically changing the actual bell type and size according to the set time. .

Of course, the above-described apparatus of the present invention is just one example of realizing the present invention. In addition to the above-described method, the device may basically provide preset bell setting tables, may modify and use them, and the user may create various tables. It can also be configured for selection.

Now, a method of implementing the bell setting table through a user input will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

As shown, the bell setting table is composed of predetermined steps. In the first step, if there is a pre-stored table, it is determined whether to use a pre-stored table. Automatically change the bell type and size by zone using the saved bell setting table. In the second step, when a table previously stored in the first step is not used, a start time, an end time, and a bell type are received. Of course, the order may be changed arbitrarily, but following the selection of the bell type, the following third step of processing the bell size should be carried out. In the third step, if the bell selected in the second step is not a vibration, the bell size is further inputted, and in the case of the vibration, the bell size is omitted. In the fourth step, the bell setting is completed when the table created in the third step is not stored, and when the table is stored, the bell setting is completed after the table is saved.

The method described above shows recording one data set (time zone, bell type, bell size) in the bell setting table and storing the bell setting table. Various bell settings can be made by repeating the above flow chart. In the third step, the first step of determining whether the bell setting input is completed before determining whether to save the created table, and the bell setting input If the process is completed completely, the process is terminated. If the input is not completed, the bell setting may be repeatedly performed by further including a second process performed again from the second step.

The bell setting is preferably set on a daily basis. However, the bell sound and the setting may be changed at a date and time determined on a weekly or monthly basis.

Although the present invention has been described using a mobile phone terminal as an example, the present invention can be applied to any device that supports ringing tones and vibrations, and therefore can be used for, for example, IMT2000, TRS, PDA, and the like.

As described above, the present invention allows a bell setting table to be configured in a portable device that supports sound and vibration as a means of notifying an incoming call so that the bell type and size set in advance according to a set time are automatically applied. Therefore, if you need to change the ringtone in a certain time, the bell type and size are automatically changed with one setting, so you can reduce the user's trouble and also troubleshoot the problems that can be caused by not changing the ringtone beforehand. There is an effect that can be prevented.
