行動通訊裝置之來電提醒調整方法及其行動通訊裝置Call reminder adjustment method of mobile communication device and mobile communication device thereof

本發明關於一種行動通訊裝置之來電提醒調整方法及其行動通訊裝置,尤指一種比對聲波偵測單元所偵測到之實際聲波輸出值以及預設聲波輸出值以判斷是否調整來電提醒之輸出強度的方法及其行動通訊裝置。The invention relates to a method for adjusting an incoming call reminder of a mobile communication device and a mobile communication device thereof, and more particularly to comparing an actual sound wave output value detected by a sound wave detecting unit and a preset sound wave output value to determine whether to adjust an output of an incoming call reminder. The method of strength and its mobile communication device.

隨著行動通訊裝置的發展,手機成為日常生活中不可或缺的通訊設備之一,用以通訊、拍照或製作個人通訊錄等。一般來說,手機皆內建有數種操作模式,藉以於不同使用環境(例如戶外、室內等)下,提供合適之來電鈴聲。With the development of mobile communication devices, mobile phones have become one of the indispensable communication devices in daily life for communication, photographing or making personal address books. In general, mobile phones have several operating modes built in, which provide appropriate ringtones for incoming calls in different environments (such as outdoor, indoor, etc.).

近來已有手機配備光感應器,利用感應手機週遭光線強弱之方式作為其所處之使用環境的判斷依據,藉以選擇合適之操作模式,如此即可達到手機可自動調整來電鈴聲波量以符合使用者需求的目的。然而,由於手機目前所需設定之來電鈴聲波量大小,物理上並非與光線強弱程度成正相關,所以此光感應設計常有誤判的情況發生,例如將手機放於背包中抑或將手機靜置於夜晚熄燈之房間內,上述兩種使用環境之週遭光線皆微弱,卻需要強度截然不同之來電鈴聲波量,但是在此光感應設計中,如將其設定成自動縮減來電鈴聲波量,就會容易導致外出的使用者漏接來電,反之就會導致夜間來電鈴聲波量過大;另外,若是光感應器受到阻擋物遮蔽或於半屏蔽狀態,則同樣也會容易出現誤判使用環境的情況。如此一來,此光感應設計反而會因上述的錯誤判斷,致使容易造成使用者在接聽來電上的諸多困擾與不便。除此之外,此光感應設計需於手機上額外增設一光感應器,其亦會造成手機生產成本的增加。Recently, mobile phones are equipped with light sensors, which use the method of sensing the light intensity of the mobile phone as the basis for judging the environment in which they are used, so as to select an appropriate operation mode, so that the mobile phone can automatically adjust the incoming call ringtone wave to meet the use. The purpose of the demand. However, because the size of the incoming call ringtone currently required by the mobile phone is not physically related to the intensity of the light, the light sensing design often has a misjudgment, such as placing the mobile phone in a backpack or resting the mobile phone. In the room where the lights are turned off at night, the ambient light of the above two environments is weak, but the incoming call ringing waves of different strengths are required, but in this light sensing design, if it is set to automatically reduce the incoming call ringing wave, It is easy for the outgoing user to miss the incoming call, and vice versa, the nighttime incoming call ringing is too large. In addition, if the light sensor is blocked by the obstacle or half-shielded, it is also prone to misuse of the environment. In this way, the light-sensing design will be judged by the above-mentioned mistakes, which may cause many troubles and inconveniences for the user to answer the call. In addition, this optical sensing design requires an additional light sensor on the mobile phone, which will also increase the production cost of the mobile phone.

綜上所述,本發明利用聲波偵測單元偵測來電提醒之理想聲波強度所產生之預設聲波輸出值與偵測實際聲波強度所產生之實際聲波輸出值之比對,判斷是否須調整來電提醒之輸出強度。如此一來,即便是在輸出單元受到阻礙物阻擋而導致其輸出強度降低的情況下,本發明所提供之行動通訊裝置係可利用上述所提及之針對來電提醒的輸出強度補償流程,來達到輸出單元在實際使用下所輸出之實際聲波強度與其理想聲波強度一致的目的,從而大幅度地避免行動通訊裝置因其輸出單元受到阻礙物遮蔽而無法正常發揮來電提醒功能的情況發生。除此之外,由於本發明係直接利用行動通訊裝置本身所具有之麥克風對輸出單元輸出之實際聲波強度進行偵測,因此,本發明亦可降低行動通訊裝置之生產成本,且本發明基於震動強度與震動聲波具物理正相關的特性,依此亦可進行震動強度的回饋控制。In summary, the present invention uses the sound wave detecting unit to detect the ratio of the preset sound wave output value generated by the ideal sound wave intensity of the incoming call reminder to the actual sound wave output value generated by detecting the actual sound wave intensity, and determines whether the incoming call must be adjusted.

In addition, since the present invention directly utilizes the microphone of the mobile communication device itself to detect the actual sound wave intensity outputted by the output unit, the present invention can also reduce the production cost of the mobile communication device, and the present invention is based on vibration.

於此係針對上述各個步驟進行詳細的描述。在上述步驟中所提及之操作模式,其係為預先內建於行動通訊裝置10內或是使用者根據其使用習慣自行設定之對應不同使用環境下的情境模式,例如室內模式、戶外模式、會議模式等,而行動通訊裝置10則可根據各個操作模式,調整來電提醒之相對應輸出強度,舉例來說,在室內模式下,來電提醒之輸出強度係可設定為5分貝,而在戶外模式下,則是可調升至15分貝。為求簡化說明,以下僅會針對於單一操作模式下來電提醒之輸出強度補償流程進行說明,若是行動通訊裝置10於實際應用中具有複數個操作模式,其相關輸出強度補償流程係可以此類推,故於此不再贅述。This is a detailed description of each of the above steps. The operation modes mentioned in the above steps are pre-built in the mobile communication device 10 or the context mode corresponding to different usage environments set by the user according to their usage habits, such as indoor mode, outdoor mode, The conference mode, etc., and the mobile communication device 10 can adjust the corresponding output strength of the incoming call reminder according to each operation mode. For example, in the indoor mode, the output strength of the incoming call reminder can be set to 5 decibels, while in the outdoor mode. Next, it is adjustable to 15 decibels. In order to simplify the description, the following will only explain the output intensity compensation process of the electric reminder in a single operation mode. If the mobile communication device 10 has a plurality of operation modes in practical applications, the related output intensity compensation process may be analogous. Therefore, it will not be repeated here.

假設本發明欲針對行動通訊裝置10處於戶外環境時進行其來電提醒之輸出強度之調整,則在步驟200中,首先可利用聲波偵測單元16偵測輸出單元14於對應戶外環境之一操作模式下所輸出之一來電提醒之理想聲波強度以產生一預設聲波輸出值,此步驟係用來進行輸出單元14與聲波偵測單元16間之聲波通道之衰減量估測,並以此衰減量做為比較基準,其中,該預設聲波輸出值係較佳地以於一特定時間(如1秒)內針對聲波偵測單元16所偵測到之來電提醒之理想聲波強度之振幅取平均之方式來產生,藉以作為後續數值比對之依據,而此處所提及之來電提醒之理想聲波強度,其係為輸出單元14在無遮蔽物阻擋縮減其輸出強度的理想使用條件下所輸出之聲波強度;需注意的是,上述該預設聲波輸出值係可選擇性透過行動通訊裝置10於出廠前之內部測試或是經由使用者自行測試而建立,舉例來說,使用者係可自行開啟行動通訊裝置10之來電提醒量測功能,對其常接觸之使用環境進行來電提醒之理想聲波強度的量測,藉以達到行動通訊裝置10之來電提醒功能可更加符合使用者之使用需求的目的。It is assumed that the present invention is intended to adjust the output strength of the incoming call alert when the mobile communication device 10 is in an outdoor environment. In step 200, the sound wave detecting unit 16 can first be used to detect the operating mode of the output unit 14 in the corresponding outdoor environment. One of the output sound waves is used to alert the ideal sound wave intensity to generate a preset sound wave output value. This step is used to estimate the attenuation of the sound wave channel between the output unit 14 and the sound wave detecting unit 16, and the attenuation amount is used. As a comparison benchmark, the preset sound wave output value is preferably averaged for the amplitude of the ideal sound wave intensity of the incoming call reminder detected by the sound wave detecting unit 16 within a specific time (eg, 1 second). The method is generated as a basis for subsequent numerical comparison, and the ideal sound wave intensity of the incoming call reminder mentioned here is outputted by the output unit 14 under the ideal use condition without the shielding block to reduce the output intensity thereof. Sound wave intensity; it should be noted that the preset sound wave output value can be selectively tested by the mobile communication device 10 at the factory for internal testing or by the user. By establishing a test, for example, the user can turn on the call reminder measurement function of the mobile communication device 10, and measure the ideal sound wave intensity of the incoming call reminder for the environment in which it is frequently contacted, thereby achieving the mobile communication device 10 The call alert function can be more in line with the user's use needs.

接下來,當行動通訊裝置10於戶外環境下接收到來電時,也就是來電訊號接收單元12接收到一來電訊號(步驟202),處理單元18會先根據該來電訊號啟動聲波偵測單元16偵測目前背景環境音(步驟204),並根據該背景環境音將輸入單元14切換至步驟200中所提及之該操作模式(步驟206)。也就是說,在此實施例中,行動通訊裝置10具有根據背景環境音將輸入單元14自動切換至相對應之操作模式的功能。上述背景環境音與操作模式之間的對應關係可選擇性根據於行動通訊裝置10出廠前內部測試人員所預設之特定比例關係(如訊噪比(Signal Noise Ratio,SNR)等)而建立,或是經由使用者自行設定而產生。Next, when the mobile communication device 10 receives an incoming call in an outdoor environment, that is, the incoming call signal receiving unit 12 receives an incoming call signal (step 202), the processing unit 18 first activates the sound wave detecting unit 16 according to the incoming call signal. The current background ambient sound is measured (step 204), and the input unit 14 is switched to the operational mode referred to in step 200 in accordance with the background ambient sound (step 206). That is, in this embodiment, the mobile communication device 10 has a function of automatically switching the input unit 14 to the corresponding operation mode in accordance with the background environmental sound. The correspondence between the background ambient sound and the operation mode may be selectively established according to a specific proportional relationship (such as a Signal Noise Ratio (SNR)) preset by the internal tester before the mobile communication device 10 is shipped. Or generated by the user's own settings.

在將輸入單元14切換至對應戶外環境之該操作模式後,輸出單元14就會根據該操作模式輸出相對應之來電提醒(步驟208),也就是以上述同時使用揚聲器20以及震動器22分別產生來電鈴聲以及來電震動之方式來執行來電提醒功能;此時,為了確保輸出單元14無論是在有無遮蔽物之情況下均可輸出具有一致聲波強度的來電提醒,聲波偵測單元16就會同時偵測該來電提醒之實際聲波強度以產生一實際聲波輸出值(步驟210)。同理,該實際聲波輸出值亦較佳地以於一特定時間內針對聲波偵測單元16所偵測到之來電提醒之實際聲波強度之振幅取平均之方式來產生,此處所提及之該來電提醒之實際聲波強度係為輸出單元14在實際使用下所輸出之聲波強度,其係會受到有無遮蔽物阻擋之影響而可能產生與上述理想聲波強度不一致之情況。After the input unit 14 is switched to the operation mode corresponding to the outdoor environment, the output unit 14 outputs a corresponding incoming call reminder according to the operation mode (step 208), that is, the speaker 20 and the vibrator 22 are used to generate the same. The incoming call reminder function is performed by the ringing tone of the incoming call and the vibration of the incoming call; at this time, in order to ensure that the output unit 14 can output the incoming call reminder with the uniform sound wave intensity in the presence or absence of the shielding, the sound wave detecting unit 16 simultaneously detects The actual sound wave intensity of the incoming call alert is measured to produce an actual sound wave output value (step 210). Similarly, the actual sound wave output value is also preferably generated by averaging the amplitudes of the actual sound wave intensities detected by the sound wave detecting unit 16 for a specific time, as mentioned herein. The actual sound wave intensity of the incoming call reminder is the sound wave intensity outputted by the output unit 14 under actual use, which may be affected by the presence or absence of the shielding of the obstacle and may be inconsistent with the above-mentioned ideal sound wave intensity.

在接收到聲波偵測單元16所產生之該實際聲波輸出值後,處理單元18就會開始判斷該實際聲波輸出值是否小於該預設聲波輸出值(步驟212)。若是處理單元18判斷出該實際聲波輸出值不小於該預設聲波輸出值,則代表行動通訊裝置10目前係處於輸出單元14沒有受到阻礙物阻擋縮減其輸出強度的理想使用條件下接收到來電,因此,處理單元18就會結束本發明針對來電提醒之輸出強度補償流程(步驟216)。After receiving the actual sound wave output value generated by the sound wave detecting unit 16, the processing unit 18 starts to determine whether the actual sound wave output value is smaller than the preset sound wave output value (step 212). If the processing unit 18 determines that the actual sound wave output value is not less than the preset sound wave output value, the representative mobile communication device 10 is currently receiving an incoming call under the ideal use condition that the output unit 14 is not blocked by the obstruction to reduce its output intensity. Therefore, the processing unit 18 ends the output strength compensation process for the incoming call alert of the present invention (step 216).

另一方面,若是處理單元18判斷出該實際聲波輸出值小於該預設聲波輸出值,則代表行動通訊裝置10目前係處於輸出單元14受到阻礙物(例如將行動通訊裝置10放置於背包中時,輸出單元14被文具、書本等物品所遮蔽)阻擋縮減其輸出強度的情況下接收到來電,此時,為了避免使用者漏接來電的情況發生,行動通訊裝置10就會需要調升該來電提醒的輸出強度。因此,處理單元18即會根據該預設聲波輸出值與該實際聲波輸出值之差值,產生該聲波補償值並根據該聲波補償值調升該來電提醒之輸出強度(步驟214)。也就是說,處理單元18就會將目前所設定之該來電提醒之輸出強度值在加上該聲波補償值後,回授至輸出單元14,藉以控制輸出單元14輸出經強度補償後之來電提醒,接著再重複執行上述步驟210與步驟212,直到聲波偵測單元16所偵測到之實際聲波輸出值實質上等於該預設聲波輸出值為止。On the other hand, if the processing unit 18 determines that the actual sound wave output value is less than the preset sound wave output value, the representative mobile communication device 10 is currently in the output unit 14 being obstructed (for example, when the mobile communication device 10 is placed in the backpack) The output unit 14 is blocked by the articles such as stationery and books, and receives the incoming call when the output strength is blocked. In this case, in order to prevent the user from missing the incoming call, the mobile communication device 10 needs to be upgraded. The output strength of the call alert. Therefore, the processing unit 18 generates the sound wave compensation value according to the difference between the preset sound wave output value and the actual sound wave output value, and increases the output intensity of the incoming call reminder according to the sound wave compensation value (step 214). That is to say, the processing unit 18 will feedback the output intensity value of the incoming call reminder currently set to the output unit 14 after the sound wave compensation value is added, thereby controlling the output unit 14 to output the intensity-compensated call alert. Then, the above steps 210 and 212 are repeated until the actual sound wave output value detected by the sound wave detecting unit 16 is substantially equal to the preset sound wave output value.

此外,在上述針對來電提醒的輸出強度補償方面,其係可隨著來電提醒之不同輸出方式而有所不同;舉例來說,若是輸出單元14僅利用揚聲器20或震動器22以產生相對應之來電鈴聲或來電震動之方式來產生來電提醒的效果,則即可根據上述聲波補償值直接調升揚聲器20之來電鈴聲波量或震動器22之來電震動程度;若是輸出單元14係採用同時使用揚聲器20以及震動器22分別產生來電鈴聲以及來電震動之方式來輸出來電提醒,則上述聲波補償值可依照行動通訊裝置10內部預設或透過使用者自行設定之一特定比例分配關係,分別進行揚聲器20之來電鈴聲波量或震動器22之來電震動程度的補償調升,但不受此限,其亦可採用其他常見於先前技術中之補償值分配設計,如處理單元18可依序控制揚聲器20以及震動器22分別輸出來電鈴聲以及來電震動,並使用聲波偵測單元16加以偵測,藉以分別獲取相對應之聲波補償值,從而更加精準地針對揚聲器20之來電鈴聲波量或震動器22之來電震動程度進行補償調整。In addition, in the above-mentioned output intensity compensation for the incoming call reminder, it may be different according to different output modes of the incoming call reminder; for example, if the output unit 14 only uses the speaker 20 or the vibrator 22 to generate a corresponding corresponding If the ringing tone of the incoming call or the vibration of the incoming call is used to generate the effect of the incoming call reminder, the incoming call ringing amount of the speaker 20 or the incoming call vibration level of the vibrator 22 can be directly raised according to the above-mentioned sound wave compensation value; if the output unit 14 is used with the speaker simultaneously 20 and the vibrator 22 respectively generate an incoming call ringtone and an incoming call vibrating method to output an incoming call reminder, and the sound wave compensation value may be respectively performed according to a preset ratio of the mobile communication device 10 or a specific proportion distribution by the user, and respectively perform the speaker 20 The caller ringing wave or the vibration level of the vibrator 22 is compensated, but is not limited thereto. It can also adopt other compensation value distribution designs commonly used in the prior art. For example, the processing unit 18 can sequentially control the speaker 20 And the vibrator 22 respectively outputs an incoming call ringtone and an incoming call vibration, and uses the sound wave detecting unit 16 is detected to obtain the corresponding sound wave compensation value, so as to more accurately compensate for the ringing wave volume of the speaker 20 or the vibration level of the vibration of the vibrator 22.

值得一提的是,於上述步驟212中,若是經強度補償後所偵測到之實際聲波輸出值仍然持續小於該預設聲波輸出值,則處理單元18就會在判斷出經強度補償後之來電提醒的輸出強度超過一臨界值(如輸出單元14所能產生之最大輸出強度)時,結束本發明針對來電提醒之輸出強度補償流程。除此之外,步驟204以及步驟206係可為可省略之步驟,進而達到增加行動通訊裝置10之設計彈性的目的,換句話說,行動通訊裝置10係可選擇性地不具有根據背景環境音將輸出單元14自動切換至相對應之操作模式的功能,而是改採用使用者需自行將輸出單元14切換至該操作模式的手動設計。It is worth mentioning that, in the above step 212, if the actual sound wave output value detected after the intensity compensation still continues to be smaller than the preset sound wave output value, the processing unit 18 determines the intensity compensation. When the output strength of the incoming call reminder exceeds a critical value (such as the maximum output intensity that the output unit 14 can generate), the output intensity compensation process for the incoming call alert of the present invention ends. In addition, steps 204 and 206 may be steps that may be omitted, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the design flexibility of the mobile communication device 10. In other words, the mobile communication device 10 may optionally have no background sound. The function of automatically switching the output unit 14 to the corresponding operation mode is instead a manual design in which the user has to switch the output unit 14 to the operation mode.

相較於先前技術利用行動通訊裝置配備有光感應器之方式,本發明利用聲波偵測單元偵測來電提醒之理想聲波強度所產生之預設聲波輸出值與偵測實際聲波強度所產生之實際聲波輸出值之比對,判斷是否須調整來電提醒之輸出強度。如此一來,即便是在輸出單元受到阻礙物阻擋而導致其輸出強度降低的情況下,本發明係可利用上述所提及之針對來電提醒的輸出強度補償流程,來達到輸出單元在實際使用下所輸出之聲波強度與其理想聲波強度一致的目的,從而大幅度地避免行動通訊裝置因其輸出單元受到阻礙物遮蔽而無法正常發揮來電提醒功能的情況發生。除此之外,由於本發明係直接利用行動通訊裝置本身所具有之麥克風對輸出單元之實際輸出聲波強度進行偵測,因此,本發明亦可降低行動通訊裝置之生產成本,且本發明基於震動強度與震動聲波具物理正相關的特性,依此亦可進行震動強度的回饋控制。Compared with the prior art, the mobile communication device is equipped with a light sensor, and the present invention utilizes the sound wave detecting unit to detect the preset sound wave output value generated by the ideal sound wave intensity of the incoming call reminder and the actual actual sound wave intensity detected. The comparison of the sound wave output values determines whether the output intensity of the incoming call reminder needs to be adjusted. In this way, even in the case that the output unit is blocked by the obstruction and the output intensity is lowered, the present invention can utilize the above-mentioned output intensity compensation process for the incoming call reminder to achieve the actual use of the output unit. The output of the sound wave intensity is consistent with the ideal sound wave intensity, thereby greatly preventing the mobile communication device from being able to properly perform the call alert function due to the obstruction of the output unit. In addition, since the present invention directly utilizes the microphone of the mobile communication device itself to detect the actual output sound wave intensity of the output unit, the present invention can also reduce the production cost of the mobile communication device, and the present invention is based on vibration. The strength and the vibration sound wave have a physical positive correlation characteristic, and thus the feedback control of the vibration intensity can also be performed.
