Description

A cellular phone and a bluetooth apparaus having a function of phone number-searching based on TTS}

The present invention relates to a mobile phone and a Bluetooth device having a telephone number retrieval function using a text to speech (TTS), and more particularly, to various types of voice and sound base mobile communication devices such as a mobile terminal, a PDA, and the like represented by a mobile phone. In addition, the present invention relates to a mobile phone and a Bluetooth device further having a search function, in particular, a phone number search function, between a Bluetooth device, which is based on a Bluetooth communication, and a Bluetooth device represented by a Bluetooth headset.

In cooperation with mobile communication devices such as mobile phones and the like, 'Bluetooth devices' represented by Bluetooth headsets are rapidly expanding their use in recent years due to the simplicity of wireless and reliability of call at short distances.

In particular, it is possible to replace the conventional hands-free function of various types of wired and FM transmission method, so most mobile phones are equipped with a communication function according to the Bluetooth standard, and its use is further expanded and functions in the future. It is foreseen to diversify.

In the case of a headset with the conventional Bluetooth function,

It is equipped with up-down volume button as a basic operation means to perform Bluetooth communication with mobile phone, and call button which performs a function according to the combination of pressing method and pressing time as a single button key. In the case of devices, in particular headsets or earsets, the geometrical configuration of the device is designed in a conventional bar shape or the like, which is extremely simple, due to the limitations in the installation space of such geometric or additional operating switches.

The conventional Bluetooth headset having such a basic configuration has a function of receiving a call from the mobile phone and handing it over to the headset by pressing the operation call button, a re-dialing function by 'long pressing' the call button of the mobile phone, and shortening the call button. It is programmed between the Bluetooth device and the mobile phone so that the Bluetooth headset provides the redialing function of the last call number by pressing the call.

In this way, a headset, such as a Bluetooth device, enables a minimum operation of the buttons, and a variety of operation effects by pressing the buttons ('long press', 'short press', number of presses) and press times. However, due to the limited number of operation buttons, due to the structural limitations as a human interface, it was not easy to provide various search functions, for example, a search function of a phone book of a mobile phone.

In addition to this conventional basic configuration, a device based on Bluetooth,

In particular, the name-phone number retrieval function in the headset for the call is an essential function, and the mobile terminal tends to replace the conventional phone book, so that the user registers most of the contact's phone number in the phone book of the mobile terminal. In the case of a telephone call, the necessity is further increased in view of the fact that most of the telephone book searches for a part of the name or telephone number and makes a call.

In summary, in the conventional Bluetooth headset, only the functions of receiving, calling, redialing, and volume up and down are performed as the operation of the call button among the function buttons, and the search is performed by the name or the phone number in the phone book which is the most important function of the mobile phone. Most of the 'search function' for making a call is performed by the user by providing the function in the mobile phone itself, and after the search in the mobile phone, the call button is operated to dial the Bluetooth function.

Therefore, when the user puts the mobile phone in a bag or pocket, there is a fatal problem that it is almost impossible to search for a phone number when the mobile phone operation is impossible due to driving or the like, which is why the operation of the mobile phone is legally prohibited while driving. Will be recognized as a more important defect.

In order to improve the inconvenience of searching the phone book on the mobile phone when using the above-mentioned Bluetooth headset, there are various attempts to search the phone number by using the volume-up-down button, which is a basic button mostly given to the Bluetooth headset. come.

As such a conventional approach, as in the assembly of a mobile phone and a Bluetooth headset having a search function of a method and apparatus for making a call with a Bluetooth headset of Patent No. 10-0396283, a patent application No. 10-2007-001579, which is a prior application of the inventor, The basic concept of entering the telephone number search mode according to the operation of the volume button and performing the search as an operation of the up-down key of the volume button is known.

In the method and apparatus for making a call with the Bluetooth headset of Patent No. 10-0396283, "In a method for making a call with a Bluetooth headset in a state where information can be exchanged with each other through an inquiry process and a pairing process, A first step of checking whether there is a volume button input; a second step of displaying a Bluetooth packet on the LCD screen if the volume button input is present; and a connection message when the Bluetooth packet is displayed on the LCD screen and a selection key is input; And how to make a call with a headset for Bluetooth, characterized in that the third step of the;

A liquid crystal display for displaying a Bluetooth packet, a liquid crystal display controller for controlling a connection message output from a Bluetooth module to be displayed on the liquid crystal display, a first key, a second key, a third key and a fourth key. It consists of a button unit for outputting the signal to the LCD screen control unit ", Bluetooth headset device characterized in that.

In the above-described conventional configuration, the entire Bluetooth data packet of the phonebook data is received from the mobile phone according to the determination of the volume button input and displayed on the LCD screen.

However, the above-described configuration of each source and the search in the Bluetooth headset of the basic functions are slow in transmission rate by adopting the packet transmission method of the phone book data from the mobile phone to the Bluetooth device, and the additional mobile phone and Bluetooth device There is a disadvantage on the device that is heavily loaded with hardware and software, and there is a need to upload to the Bluetooth device every time the phone book is changed, and additionally requires a number of additional buttons. Due to the constraints of the form, the realization was low.

Most of the users of the Bluetooth devices, especially the headsets, wear and use the Bluetooth headsets in their bags, pockets and vehicle storage, so they can use the entire data packet from the mobile phone to display the very small LCD screen mounted on the Bluetooth headsets. Searching while viewing does not meet the original purpose of the Bluetooth headset used as a hands-free substitute, and comes with a lot of inconvenience in searching while looking at a small LCD window. There were many limitations.

In particular, as described above, it is very inconvenient and dangerous to search for a name while looking at the display while walking or driving a vehicle with a Bluetooth headset mounted on the ear, and thus, other search guide means for the phonebook search mode, in particular, voice guidance The basic phone book search function may be a necessary function.

In order to provide a function to search a set of all phonebooks in a Bluetooth device and to implement such additional functions, only the 'key command' is transmitted and not based on the conventional method of transmitting the entire data packet. By sending only the search data retrieved from the mobile phone to the Bluetooth device, it minimizes the transmission load and required hardware and software specifications,

In the search routine through the individual 'key command', each search value is converted into a voice signal using the TTS function built into the mobile phone and transmitted to the Bluetooth device, so that the statement can be easily made according to the voice guide while wearing the Bluetooth device. It is characterized in that any combination of telephone number, name and telephone number can be searched.

In addition, most of the speech recognition functions that have been widely used in the past have been searched for phone numbers based on natural language, but the recognition rate is very low due to inaccuracy of pronunciation, inability to search for similar names, and ambient noise. .

However, the voice recognition function is a very important function that the user can efficiently perform voice recognition dialing while wearing the Bluetooth headset because the purpose of the Bluetooth headset itself is to enhance the hands-free function. In a mobile phone and a Bluetooth device having a telephone number search function using the TTS of the present invention, a TTS-based voice dialing is possible to implement a complete hands-free by TTS guidance and user's voice recognition.

First, the final call number retrieval and dialing method will be described based on the present invention.

In the following, the phone number and name to be searched are displayed by integrating the '[name-phone number]', and the TTS contents transmitted to the Bluetooth device (B) are '[name-phone number]', '[name]' Can be any one of '[phone number]' and such a combination can be set as a user's setting or a designer's default.

[Last Call Directory (LB) Search and Dialing Method]

A search and dialing method of the final call phone book LB formed by accumulating the final call number will be described with reference to FIG.

First, pressing the call button (M) in the Bluetooth device (B) transmits the call key command (Cm) to the mobile phone (H) (B10).

When the mobile phone (H) receives the call key command (Cm) for the call button (M) from the Bluetooth device (B), the [name-phone number] of the latest call and reception numbers are listed in the latest call order and the [name of the last call] -Any one of the telephone number, name or telephone number (hereinafter, the same)] is converted to TTS (TTS01) while displaying (D) and transmitted to the Bluetooth device (B) (H10).

The Bluetooth device B transmits the TTS signal TTS01 received from the mobile phone H to the speaker S to determine the corresponding [name-phone number] that the user U wants to hear and make a call.

If the [name-phone number] is not the data that the user (U) wants to call, the user (U) has a volume down button of the Bluetooth device (B) while the recent call list is listed on the mobile phone (H). Briefly press (Vd) to transfer the short push command (Csd01) to the mobile phone (H) (B11).

The mobile phone H moves to the [name-phone number] of the last call according to the short press command (Csd01) received from the Bluetooth device (B) and converts the [name-phone number] to TTS (TTS02) to Bluetooth. Send to device B (H11).

The Bluetooth device B transmits the TTS signal TTS02 received from the mobile phone H to the speaker S so that the user U hears it and decides again whether it is a phone number to call.

If not, the user U goes down to the short press command Csd02 by 'short press' of the volume down button Vd of the Bluetooth device B, and to the 'short press' of the volume up button Vu. The short press command Csu01 is moved to the upper position and searched to transmit the command to the cellular phone H (B12).

When the mobile phone receives the long press command Cld1 of the volume down button Vd from the Bluetooth device B, the mobile phone displays the built-in phone number of the phone book PB of the mobile phone H itself on the display D of the mobile phone. And the top [name-telephone] of the phone number of the first hierarchical group (the first a group in a, b, c, .. in English, the first a group in A, B, C ... in English) Number] is selected and displayed, at the same time converts [name-phone number] data to TTS (TTS1) and transmits to Bluetooth device B (H100).

The Bluetooth device B transmits the TTS signal TTS1 received from the mobile phone H to the speaker S, and makes a voice B2 to determine whether the user U is a corresponding phone number to listen to and make a call. The situation is entered, the user U is recognized as the highest phone number data enters the search standby state (B110).

While the mobile phone H receives a command from the Bluetooth device B and enters the phonebook search mode, the user U again finds the desired [name-phone number] by pressing the volume down button on the Bluetooth device B. Press and hold on the (Vd) key,

When the long press command Cld2 is transmitted to the mobile phone H, the first hierarchical group of the entire phone book PB to the second hierarchical group ('B' in Korean and 'B' in English) After moving to [Name-Phone Number], this top-level [Name-Phone Number] is displayed on the display D and simultaneously converted to TTS (TTS2) and transmitted to the Bluetooth device B (H110).

If the [name-phone number] group is to be passed, press and hold the volume-up button (Vu) for a long time and press the command (Clul) the Bluetooth device (B) to the mobile phone (H) (B120),

When the mobile phone (H) receives it, it moves to the top [name-phone number] of the previous Hieraki group and displays the top [name-phone number] while converting it to TTS (TTS3) and the Bluetooth device (B). (H120).

The repetitive movement of the next hierarchy and the previous hierarchy to the current hierarchy of the phone book PB is that the user U repeatedly operates (BRL) the Bluetooth device B and accordingly a long press command (Cld2, Clu1). As a result, the mobile phone H repeats the above-described operation (HRL) and moves to the hieraki containing the desired [name-phone number].

In the above-mentioned operation, with the [name-phone number] of the highest initial consonant included in the hieraki group containing [name-phone number] to be searched displayed as a phone book search result,

The short press command Csd1 of the volume down button Vd of the Bluetooth device B is transmitted to the mobile phone H, and the mobile phone H receives the short press command Csd1 of the volume down button Vd. Within the first consonants arranged in the order of the hieraki, the display of the [name-phone number] moved while moving to the lower first consonants in sequence (D) while converting sequentially to TTS (TTS4) and also sequentially to the Bluetooth device (B) Transmit (H130).

If you pass the [name-phone number] group within the hieraki, press the volume up button (Vu) shortly to send the corresponding short press command (Csu1) to the Bluetooth device (B) (B140) and ,

When the mobile phone (H) receives it, the mobile phone (H) is moved to the previous [name-phone number] while displaying the [name-phone number] that is moved while converting sequentially to the TTS (TTS5) while also sequentially It transmits to the Bluetooth device B (H140).

Moving to the previous [name-phone number] and the next [name-phone number] in the hieraki of the corresponding first consonant of the phone book PB is performed by the user U of the volume up button Vu of the Bluetooth device B. The short press command (Csu1) or the repeated operation (BRS) so that the short press command (Csd1) of the volume down button (Vd) occurs, and according to the short press command (Csu1, Csd1), the mobile phone (H) described above Repeat the operation (HRS) to move to the desired [name-phone number] to complete the search.

When [name-phone number] is searched for, the call button (M) is pressed to send the corresponding [name-phone number] as a call key command (Cm).

The mobile phone H provides a basic function of setting a group in which user U frequently collects phone numbers and stores them separately, and under such a function, a method of retrieving the multi-frequency phone number group FB of the present invention. The function of the embodiment is implemented and can be applied equally to the case of setting another specific group.

Since the entry into the phonebook search mode into the general phonebook PB is set to the volume down button Vd, the Bluetooth device B is paired and the frequency up button Vu is connected to the frequency up button Vu in the standby state. FB) and vice versa.

As in Figure 6,

In the standby state in which the Bluetooth device B and the mobile phone H are paired and connected, the designer can selectively set the Bluetooth device B in the standby state, for example, the volume up button Vu of the Bluetooth device B. If 'Long Press' is set to 'Enter Search Mode for Multi-Frequency Phone Groups,'

When long press the volume up button (Vu) to enter the phonebook search mode (B200), the long press command (Clu10) of the volume up button (Vu) is transmitted to the mobile phone (H).

When the mobile phone H receives the long press command Clu10 of the volume up button Vu from the Bluetooth device B,

The built-in phone number of the multi-frequency phone number group (FB) of the mobile phone (H) itself is displayed on the display (D) of the mobile phone, and the phone number of the first hieraki group (a, b, c, .. In the first 'ㄱ' group, English is the first 'A' group from A, B, C ... order, select the top [name-phone number] (H200) and display the top [name- Phone number] The data is converted into TTS (TTS11) and transmitted to the Bluetooth device B (H200).

In such a setting state, when the volume up button Vu is pressed for a long time, it is preferable to give a confirmation tone indicating that the user presses the `` long press '' to perform the multi-frequency phone number group FB entry.

Once the phone book search mode is entered into the multi-frequency phone number group FB, the search and dialing blocks SD are completely identical to the embodiment of the entire phone book of FIG.

Although the mobile phone and the Bluetooth device having the telephone number search function using the TTS of the present invention have the basic operation as described above, the above operation is not applied to the voice recognition function, and the voice recognition function is more convenient and efficient. Handsfree function can be implemented.

Hereinafter, a mobile phone and a Bluetooth device having a phone number search function using the TTS of the present invention based on the voice recognition function will be described in detail.

As described above, in the case of the conventional voice dialing function, the phone number is searched for based on the natural language based on the user's voice registration, but the phone number is incorrect. The recognition rate is remarkably low due to formation and the like, and its use is not generalized.

The voice recognition function is particularly preferable for application to a Bluetooth headset for the purpose of implementing a hands-free function. The present invention provides a voice recognition function capable of searching and dialing.

In particular, the Bluetooth headset is installed in close proximity to the user's mouth, so the voice recognition rate is relatively high, so that if a proper command is restricted, a very high voice recognition rate can be given. Furthermore, the present invention improves the mechanical speech recognition problem by entering the hierarchical group on the basis of the beginning of the statement.

Searching and dialing of a telephone number using the voice recognition function will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

It is very important to improve the recognition rate by specifically limiting the user voice commands used below and not using natural language. That is, it is desirable to limit the terms used for searching and dialing to short words as much as possible and to let the user know these voice commands.

[Searching and Dialing the End Call Phone Book (LB) Using Voice Recognition]

A search and dialing method based on the voice recognition function of the last telephone directory LB will be described below with reference to FIG.

Pressing the call button (M) in the Bluetooth device (B) transmits the call key command (Cm) to the mobile phone (H) (B200).

When the mobile phone H receives the call key command Cm for the call button M from the Bluetooth device B, the mobile phone H enters a preset voice recognition mode.

1) Upon entering the set voice mode, the [name-phone number] of the recent call and reception numbers is listed in the order of the latest call, and the [name-phone number, name or one of the telephone number] of the last call is displayed (D While converting to TTS (TTS21) and transmitted to the Bluetooth device (B) (H200).

2) Or, if the voice command of the preset voice command, for example, [final phone number search], is entered while entering the set voice recognition mode, the [name-phone number] of the recent call / receive numbers is listed in the latest call order. While displaying (D) of the final call [name-phone number, name or telephone number] is converted to TTS (TTS21) and transmitted to the Bluetooth device (B) (H200).

3) If necessary, the mobile phone (H) receives the call key command (Cm) for the call button (M) from the Bluetooth device (B) to enter the voice recognition mode, the user enters the volume up button (Vu) or volume When the down button Vd is pressed, it may be entered into the final phone number search mode.

The Bluetooth device B transmits the TTS signal TTS21 received from the mobile phone H to the speaker S to determine the corresponding [name-phone number] that the user U listens to and makes a call.

If the [name-phone number] is not the data that the user U wants to call, the user U also issues a next mobile voice command V1 called [next] as an example. (H) moves to [name-phone number] of the last call of the car according to the difference mobile voice command (V1) received from the Bluetooth device (B), and converts the [name-phone number] to TTS (TTS22). To the Bluetooth device B (H201).

The Bluetooth device B transmits the TTS signal TTS22 received from the mobile phone H to the speaker S so that the user U hears it and judges whether it is a phone number to call.

If not, the user U issues a voice command of a next mobile voice command V1 called [next] or a previous mobile voice command V2 called [previous] to the Bluetooth device B, respectively. With respect to the list of LBs, the mobile phone H moves to the corresponding [name-phone number] according to the above voice command and continuously converts the TTS (TTS23) to the Bluetooth device B (H202).

In the case of searching for [name-phone number] of a call target through the above process,

The user U transmits, for example, a call voice command Vs called [send] to the mobile phone H to the Bluetooth device B (B203). The call voice command Vs transmits the call voice command Vs. H) makes a call to the corresponding number of the retrieved [name-phone number] data.

In the above search step, if there are a large number of [name-phone numbers] to be searched, and it is necessary to transfer the data to upper and lower data at once, for example, [Step 5 next], [Step 5 next], [Next 5], etc. Recognizing this, it is preferable that the mobile phone H further adds logic of a lump move (Lump move) that moves to data after step 5 and transmits TTS.

[Full Search and Dialing Method of Phone Book Based on Speech Recognition]

As shown in FIG. 8, when the Bluetooth device B is paired, the entry of the phone book search mode is performed;

1) In the Bluetooth device B, when the volume up button Vu or the volume down button Vd is pressed or a separately assigned setting button Bs (illustrated in FIG. The command Cul, Cld, Cs is transmitted to the mobile phone H. From this time, when the mobile phone H receives one of these commands Cul, Cld and Cs from the Bluetooth device B, the preset voice is transmitted. Enters the recognition mode and simultaneously enters the phonebook search mode.

2) Press the call button (M) in the Bluetooth device (B) transmits the call key command (Cm) to the mobile phone (H) (B300).

When the mobile phone H receives the call key command Cm for the call button M from the Bluetooth device B, the mobile phone H enters a preset voice recognition mode. For example, if there is a voice command of [Phone Book Search], Enters the PB search mode.

When the mobile phone H enters the phone book search mode by any one of the above processes, the phone number embedded in the phone book PB of the mobile phone H is displayed on the display D of the mobile phone. 1Hairaki Group's telephone number (first a group in a, b, c, .. in Korean, first A group in English, A, B, C ... in order) Select and display, and simultaneously converts [name-phone number] data to TTS (TTS31) and transmits to Bluetooth device B (H300).

Alternatively, the mobile phone H enters the phone book search mode and then transmits, for example, the phrase " speak Hiiraki group " to the Bluetooth (B) device (H300).

The Bluetooth device B enters a situation in which the user U hears this and determines whether the corresponding phone number is to make a call by transmitting and uttering the TTS signal TTS31 received from the mobile phone H to the speaker S. The user U enters the search standby state by recognizing that it is the highest phone number data (B310).

While the mobile phone H enters the phonebook search mode, the user U wants to find his / her desired [name-phone number].

When the search voice command V12 is dropped on the Bluetooth device B and the corresponding search voice command V12 is transmitted to the mobile phone H, the voice area hierarchical group, such as Korean or alphabet, is represented by the search voice command V12. Move to the top [name-phone number] of the corresponding voice area hierarchical group, and then display this top [name-phone number] on the display (D) and simultaneously convert to TTS (TTS32) to convert the Bluetooth device (B). (H310).

For example, 'Kim Chul-soo' or 'Na Yeong-hui' means Hangeul, which moves to [a voice region group] and [b voice region group], respectively, and converts the top-level data to TTS. This is to make the consonant of the ultra-high consonant sound with the highest voice recognition as the reference search data when the name of the person to be searched is not exactly known or the mechanical voice recognition rate is not 100% guaranteed. Of course, if the correct voice recognition is the voice of the name is sent to the TTS will immediately try to call.

In the case of English and the like, the same method is performed.

For example, Alpha would be the A-second group and Bravo would be the B-second group, but if you have the word, you can use any word. Can be.

Once a search within the [name-phone number] hieraki group found by the search voice command (V12) is performed, the user (U) if the [name-phone number] is not the data that the user (U) wants to call. Also, as an example, when a next mobile voice command (V13) called [next] transmits the Bluetooth device B to the mobile phone H (B320).

The mobile phone H moves to the next level [name-phone number] according to the difference moving voice command V1 received from the Bluetooth device B, and converts the corresponding [name-phone number] to TTS (TTS33). Transfer to (B) (H320).

Bluetooth device (B) transmits the TTS signal (TSS33) received from the mobile phone (H) to the speaker (S) to allow the user (U) to listen again and determine whether the phone number you want to call,

If not, the user U issues a voice command of a higher mobile voice command V14 called [previous] to the Bluetooth device B so as to move to the previous data and retrieve the list of the phone book PB, respectively. The upper mobile voice command V14 is transmitted to the mobile phone H (B330).

Moving to the previous [name-phone number] and the next [name-phone number] within the voice field hierarchy of the corresponding first two consonants of the phone book PB, the user (U) moves to the Bluetooth device (B). The search is made by repeating the command V14 or the difference moving voice command V13 (VRS).

Through the above process, the [name-phone number] of the call target is searched and the mobile phone H is transmitted to the Bluetooth device B as the TTS TTS 34 (B330), after the user U confirms the Bluetooth device B. Call (send) call voice command (Vs) to the mobile phone (H) (B340), the mobile phone (H) by the call voice command (Vs) is retrieved data of the [name-phone number] The call to the corresponding number of (H340).

In the above search step, if there are a large number of [name-phone numbers] to be searched and it is necessary to transfer the data up and down at once, for example, [step 5 next] or [step 5 next], the mobile phone ( H) is preferably added to the logic of the lump move (Lump move) to move to the data after step 5 and TTS.

The various next, previous, outgoing voice commands are generated by the user's voice, and the mobile phone recognizes the voice and executes a corresponding command.

The phone number retrieval method using the voice recognition and the TTS has been described based on the Bluetooth device, but it is obvious that the same method can be applied to the wired earphones.

In the method of searching and dialing the final phone book (LB) or phone book (PB) using voice recognition function and TTS, the Bluetooth device operates from an external power source so that there is no worry of battery (e.g., a built-in Bluetooth device) ) Has a preset voice recognition function,

For example, if there is a voice command of [final phone number search], the phone number search mode is entered into the final phone number search mode. If there is a voice command of [phone number search], the Bluetooth device converts it into a specific command and converts it to the mobile phone. When the sender and the mobile phone receive this command, they enter the phonebook search mode. Since the search and dialing are the same as those in the final phone book of FIG. 7 or the phone book of FIG. 8, duplicate description is avoided.

Although not necessary in the present invention described above, in addition, if the Bluetooth device B has display means such as an LCD, it is also necessary to send text data.

To this end, if the Bluetooth device B has information on the LCD (i.e. voice only or text required) is sent to the mobile phone H, the mobile phone H will inform the [name-phone number] retrieved only by voice. It is possible to determine whether or not to inform it as this can be selectively implemented as the setting of the user (U) or the automatic setting by the program of the mobile phone, which will not necessarily be required in view of the object of the present invention.

In addition, in the above description and drawings, the bar type Bluetooth device B is illustrated and described, but the same purpose may be applied to various types of Bluetooth devices.

9 illustrates another type of Bluetooth device to which a mobile phone and a Bluetooth device having a telephone number search function using the TTS of the present invention are applicable.

The same operation buttons are also provided for the headset type Bluetooth device (B1), the mounting type Bluetooth device (B2) for mounting the vehicle mount (M), and the Bluetooth device (B3) for clip fastening to the sun visor (S). Of course, it is possible to apply.

Therefore, it can be seen that a mobile phone and a Bluetooth device having a phone number search function using the TTS of the present invention have various applicability for facilitating a phone number search while walking and driving a vehicle.
