In the case the flag corresponding to the coincident telephone number indicates a flag denoting that the automatic incoming call is replied, the communication unit transmits a reply message to the caller. When the flag corresponding to the coincident telephone number indicates a flag denoting that the automatic incoming call reply is not made, the communication unit conducts an incoming call notice.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a communication apparatus, and more particularly to a communication apparatus having an automatic incoming call response function for automatically transmitting a response message to an incoming call.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a communication device, for example, a portable telephone, can automatically transmit a response message to an incoming call by setting an automatic incoming call answering function in advance by a user. By storing the message of the caller in response to the response message in the memory of the own device or the base station, the user can hear the message of the caller later.

[0003] Since the same response message is usually transmitted to any caller, a specific message cannot be transmitted only to a specific caller.

Therefore, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-159451,
JP-A-9-233196 and JP-A-10-21
In the telephone set described in Japanese Patent No. 5309, a telephone number and a response message are stored in a memory in the apparatus in advance so as to correspond to each other. If so, the telephone number received at the time of the incoming call is compared with the telephone number stored in the memory, and if they match, a response message stored in the memory is sent out in pair with the telephone number. If the telephone number received at the time of the incoming call does not match the telephone number stored in the memory, a predetermined default response message is transmitted.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned telephone, if the user sets the automatic call answering function in advance, the answering message is sent out in response to the automatic call answering for all incoming calls. There is a problem that an automatic response is also made to a caller, for example, an urgent incoming call from a hospital.

If the user does not set the automatic incoming call answering function in advance, the incoming call is notified for all incoming calls, so that incoming calls from callers who do not want to talk are also received. There is a problem that the call must be made by pressing the call button. For example, while responding to an incoming call from a friend or family member during a private time such as a holiday, it must also respond to an incoming call from a company or the like, such as a business contact.

In recent telephones, since the telephone number of the caller is displayed on its own display unit, it is conceivable that the user may judge on each occasion whether or not to answer the incoming call while watching the display. It is difficult to immediately determine who is calling from the displayed phone number, and if the call is not answered, an incoming call notification, for example, a ring tone is output until the caller disconnects the line. Therefore, it becomes annoying to the surroundings.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to determine whether or not to perform an automatic incoming call response according to a caller, to perform an incoming call notification for an incoming call from a desired caller, It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication device for automatically answering an incoming call from an undesired caller.

When the user operates the operation unit 9 to change the check input unit 21, the flag shown in FIG. 2 is also changed accordingly. The initial values of the check input unit 21 are all “□”.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a preferred example of the operation of the portable telephone shown in FIG. 1 when a call is received.

In FIG. 4, when the power is turned on (S4
01 (YES in step S40), and shifts to the reception standby state (S40).
2). In the reception standby state, it is determined whether there is an incoming call (S403), and if there is an incoming call (YE in S403).
S), it is determined whether or not the other party's telephone number is included in the reception control signal separated by the signal processing unit 3 (S4).
04). If it is determined that the other party's telephone number is included in the wireless signal (YES in S404), the RAM 12
Is retrieved (S405), and the telephone number that matches the telephone number included in the wireless signal is stored in the RAM.
12 is determined (S40).
6). If a telephone number that matches the telephone number included in the wireless signal is stored in the RAM 12 (Y in S406)
ES), it is determined whether or not the flag stored in the RAM 12 in pair with the index to which the telephone number belongs is “0” (S407). Here, if the corresponding flag is not “0”, that is, if it is “1” (NO in S407), the user has previously created a call destination that is stored in the voice memory unit 10. A response message is sent out (S408), and when the called party voice-inputs the message in response to the response message, the message recorded by the calling party is voice-recorded and stored in the voice memory unit 10. It is stored (S409).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 404 that the wireless signal does not include the other party's telephone number, then in step 406, the telephone number that matches the telephone number included in the wireless signal is replaced. If it is determined that it does not exist in the RAM 12 or if the flag corresponding to the index to which the received destination telephone number belongs is “0” in the process of step 407, the notification unit 7
(Step S410).

The response message sent to the call destination in the process of step 408 is input, for example, by operating the operation unit 9 and then inputting a voice to the transmission unit 6.

In this case, the notification unit 7 starts the notification of the incoming call (S60).
8). In response to the incoming call notification, if the user determines that he / she wants to make a call, the mode is shifted to the call mode by pressing a hook button included in the operation unit 9 (YES in S609) (S616). On the other hand, if the hook button is not pressed in response to the incoming call notification (N in S609)
O), it is determined whether or not the output number of calls has reached a predetermined number N, for example, 3 (S610). If the number of calls has not reached the predetermined number N (NO in S610), the incoming call notification is performed until the user presses the hook button or the number of calls reaches the predetermined number N. If the number of calls has reached the predetermined number N (S610
YES), an automatic incoming call response is performed. That is, a response message is sent to the call destination (S611), and a message message from the call destination is recorded (S61).
2). The processing in steps 611 and 612 is the same as the processing in steps 408 and 409 shown in FIG. 4, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted here to avoid redundancy.

In the process of step 610, the predetermined number N to be compared with the output number of calls is an integer of 1 or more, and can be changed to an arbitrary value by operating the operation unit 9 by the user. .

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 607 that the flag stored in the RAM 12 in pair with the index to which the telephone number included in the received radio signal belongs is "0", the notification is made. Incoming call notification is performed by the unit 7 (S613). In response to the incoming call notification, when the user determines that the user wants to make a call, the user presses a hook button included in the operation unit 9 (S61).
If YES in step 4, the mode is shifted to the call mode (S616). On the other hand, if the hook button has not been pressed in response to the incoming call notification (NO in S614), it is determined whether the line has been disconnected by the calling party (S615). If the line is not disconnected by the calling party (N in S615)
O), the incoming call notification is continued until the user presses the hook button.

It is preferable that the notification of the incoming call in the process of step 608 and the notification of the incoming call in the process of step 613 are different from each other in the notification means or the notification mode, so that the user can distinguish each of them. For example, in the process of step 608, a notification is made by sounding,
In the process of step 613, notification is made by a vibrator. In addition, in the process of step 608, the notification sound “pip-pip-pip” may be output, and in the processing of step 613, the notification sound “pip-pip” may be output.
