Description

  The present invention relates to a portable communication terminal including an optical sensor and a sound sensor, and an incoming call notification method for the terminal.

  A communication terminal including an optical sensor and a sound sensor is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-165480 (see Patent Document 1). In this publication, the volume and the call time of the ringing tone at the time of incoming call are controlled based on the detection results from both the optical sensor and the sound sensor.

  Moreover, as a portable communication terminal provided with an optical sensor and a sound sensor, there is one described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-068888 (see Patent Document 2). When it is low, the ringing volume at the time of the incoming call is controlled to be large, and when the brightness is changed so as to increase, the ringing volume is controlled to be small.

When the surrounding sound is a sound like Mode L, it is easy for the user to notice the ring tone if the sound is peaked in the middle or high tone, and when the surrounding sound is a sound like Mode M If the notification is made with a sound having a peak in the low tone, the user is likely to notice the ringtone.

  In FIG. 4, the present invention sets three modes, Mode A, Mode B, and Mode C, from the smallest to the largest ambient sound pressure detected by the sound sensor at the time of incoming call, that is, from quiet to noisy. ing. And the alerting | reporting method is changed corresponding to these Modes.

  In FIG. 5, in the present invention, three modes, Mode X, Mode Y, and Mode Z, are set from the light intensity detected by the optical sensor at the time of incoming call from the smallest to the largest, that is, from dark to bright. Yes. Then, similarly to the above Mode, the notification method is changed corresponding to these Modes.

  In FIG. 6, in the present invention, Mode L and Mode M are divided by detection of the sound sensor 202 at the time of an incoming call, and Mode A, Mode B and Mode C are divided, and further, detection by the optical sensor 201 is performed. The ring tone (including volume and frequency characteristics), the vibration device 210, and the ring lamp 212 are controlled separately for Mode X, Mode Y, and Mode Z.

  To explain an example, when there is an incoming call, the sound sensor first determines which of the frequency characteristics shown in FIG. 3 is close, and divides it into Mode L or Mode M. It is determined whether any of Mode A, Mode B or Mode C shown in FIG. Further, it is determined whether it corresponds to Mode X, Mode Y, or Mode Z shown in FIG. 5 according to the detected illuminance, and the incoming control in the classified Mode is executed.

  For example, referring to FIG. 6, first, Mode L is determined as Mode L among Mode L and Mode M, and further, Mode C among Mode A, Mode B, and Mode C is determined. The incoming call control 601 is executed as control when Mode Z is determined among Mode X, Mode Y, and Mode Z. That is, at the time of this incoming call, the incoming call tone is controlled to a sound having a peak in middle and high sounds, the vibration device 210 is turned off, and the incoming call lamp 212 is controlled to be brightly lit.

  The operation at the time of incoming call of the mobile communication terminal 101 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 7, 8, and 9. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile communication terminal when an incoming call is received, and FIGS. 8 and 9 are flowcharts showing the continuation of FIG. 7 of the mobile communication terminal.

  First, in step 701 (hereinafter, “step” is described as S), the presence / absence of an incoming call is detected. When an incoming call is detected in S701, sound and illuminance are detected by the sound sensor 202 and the optical sensor 201 in S702. Then, it is determined whether or not the detected sound corresponds to Mode L in S703. If the detected sound does not correspond to Mode L, since it corresponds to Mode M, the control proceeds to S715, and Mode M is controlled. When the mode L is satisfied, the control proceeds to the next S704.

  In S704, it is determined whether or not the detected sound corresponds to Mode A. If it does not correspond to Mode A, it is next determined whether or not the sound detected in S705 corresponds to Mode B. When it does not correspond to Mode B, it is inevitably determined that it is Mode C, and the control proceeds to S706.

  In step S <b> 706, it is determined whether the detected illuminance is an illuminance corresponding to Mode X according to the detection by the optical sensor 201. If it does not correspond to Mode X, it is next determined whether or not the illuminance detected in S707 corresponds to Mode Y. If it does not correspond to Mode Y, it is inevitably determined that it is Mode Z, and control proceeds to S708. In step S <b> 708, the ring tone, the vibration device 210, and the ring lamp 212 are controlled. In S708, control is performed when Mode C is Mode C and Mode Z is further set, and the ringtone is controlled to a sound having a peak in middle and high tones, the vibration device 210 is controlled to be OFF, and the ringing lamp 212 is turned on. Controlled by bright lighting.

  When the user answers the phone, an off-hook is detected in S709, the control proceeds to S710, the ringtone is stopped, the vibration device 210 is controlled to be OFF, and the incoming lamp 212 is controlled to be turned off.

  When it is determined that the mode is L and Mode C, and if it is determined in step S706 that the mode corresponds to Mode X, the control proceeds to step S711, where the ring tone is controlled to a sound having a peak in middle and high tones. The vibration device 210 is controlled to be ON, and the incoming call lamp is controlled to be darkly lit. Then, when the user answers the phone, an off-hook is detected in S712, the control proceeds to S710, the ringtone is stopped, the vibration device 210 is controlled to be OFF, and the incoming lamp is turned off.

  If it is determined that Mode L and Mode C are satisfied, and if it is determined in S707 that the mode corresponds to Mode Y, the control proceeds to S713, and the ring tone is controlled to a sound having a peak in middle and high tones. The vibration device 210 is controlled to be ON, and the incoming call lamp is controlled to be in the middle lighting state. When the user answers the phone, an off-hook is detected in S714, the control proceeds to S710, the ring tone is stopped, the vibration device 210 is controlled to be OFF, and the incoming lamp 212 is controlled to be turned off.

  If it is determined that the mode is L and then Mode A is determined in S704, the control proceeds to S806 shown in FIG. 8, and if it is determined that Mode B is determined in S705, the control is S906 shown in FIG. Proceed to

  The control in S806 to S814 in FIG. 8 and the control in S906 to S914 in FIG. 9 correspond to the control in S706 to S714 shown in FIG. There are three different portions in each figure, and the incoming control corresponding to S708, S711, and S713 in FIG. 7 is S808, S811, and S813 in FIG. 8, and in FIG. 9, S908 and S911. , S913 is different.

  If it is determined that the mode does not correspond to Mode X in S806 shown in FIG. 8 and further does not correspond to Mode Y in S807, it is inevitably determined that the mode corresponds to Mode Z. A certain sound is controlled so that the volume gradually increases from small to large, the vibration device 210 is controlled to be OFF, and the incoming call lamp 212 is controlled to be brightly lit. During the incoming call control, when the user answers the phone and an off-hook is confirmed in S809, the ringtone, the vibration device 210, and the incoming call lamp 212 are controlled to be stopped in S810. The control that gradually increases from small to large means that the volume is adjusted from small to medium and large so that the user is not surprised and easily noticed. This is a control that gradually raises stepwise or continuously.

  If it is determined in Step S806 that the mode corresponds to Mode X, in Step S811, the ring tone is controlled so that the volume is gradually increased from small to large with a peak in middle and high tones, and the vibration device 210 is turned on. Then, the incoming call lamp 212 is controlled to be darkly lit. During the incoming call control, when the user answers the phone and an off-hook is confirmed in S812, the ringtone, the vibration device 210, and the incoming call lamp 2121 are controlled to be stopped in S810.

  If it is determined in S807 that the mode Y corresponds to Mode Y, the ringtone is controlled to increase gradually from low to high in a ringing tone having a peak in middle and high tones, and the vibration device 210 is turned on. Then, the incoming call lamp 212 is controlled to be lit middle. During the incoming call control, when the user answers the phone and off-hook is confirmed in S814, the ringing tone, the vibration device 210, and the incoming call lamp 212 are controlled to be stopped in S810.

  If it is determined in S906 shown in FIG. 9 that it does not correspond to Mode X, and if it is determined in S907 that it does not correspond to Mode Y, it is inevitably determined that it corresponds to Mode Z. A certain sound is controlled, the vibration device 210 is controlled to be OFF, and the incoming call lamp 212 is controlled to be brightly lit. During the incoming call control, when the user answers the phone and an off-hook is confirmed in S909, the ringtone, the vibration device 210, and the incoming call lamp 212 are controlled to be stopped in S910.

  If it is determined in S906 that the mode X corresponds to Mode X, in S911, the ringtone is controlled to a sound having a peak in the middle / high tone, the vibration device 210 is controlled to be ON, and the incoming call lamp 212 is controlled to be darkly lit. During the incoming call control, when the user answers the phone and an off-hook is confirmed in S912, the ringtone, the vibration device 210, and the incoming call lamp 212 are controlled to be stopped in S910.

  Further, if it is determined in S907 that the mode Y corresponds to Mode Y, the ringtone is controlled to a sound having a peak in middle and high tones in S913, the vibration device 210 is controlled to be ON, and the ringing lamp is controlled to be lighted in the middle. During this incoming call control, when the user answers the phone and an off-hook is confirmed in S914, the ringtone, the vibration device 210, and the incoming call lamp 212 are controlled to be stopped in S910.

  Note that the flowchart of Mode M control in S715 shown in FIG. 7 is omitted.

  The control of Mode M, whose illustration is omitted, will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 6 regarding the ring tone for incoming control and the control of the vibration device 210 and the incoming lamp 212.

  If Mode M, Mode A, and Mode X are determined, the ringtone is set to a mid-high tone peak and the volume is gradually increased from low to high. Then, the vibration device 210 is turned on and the incoming call lamp 212 is controlled to be darkly lit (see incoming call control 602).

  In addition, when Mode M, Mode A, and Mode Y are determined, the ring tone is changed to a sound with a peak in middle and high sounds, and the volume is gradually increased from small to large. The vibration device 210 is turned on, and the incoming call lamp 212 is controlled to light in the middle (see incoming call control 603).

  If it is Mode M, Mode A, and Mode Z, then the ringtone is set to a medium-high tone peak and the volume is gradually increased from low to high. The vibration device 210 is turned off, and the incoming call lamp 212 is controlled to be brightly lit (see incoming call control 604).

  Note that the incoming control when Mode M is determined to be Mode B or Mode C can be seen from FIG.

  According to the mobile communication terminal configured and operated in this manner, when the sound detected by the sound sensor 202 at the time of an incoming call is a sound with a peak in low sound (in the case of Mode L), the ringtone from the speaker 106 is changed to a medium / high sound. Since there is a control means to make the sound from the speaker 106 a sound with a peak in the low tone when it is not a sound with a peak in the low tone (in the case of Mode M), Since the notification is made with a sound having a frequency different from the above, it is possible to make the user recognize the ringtone without making a notification with a large volume or turning on the incoming call lamp 212 with a bright lighting amount. For this reason, when an incoming call is received, the incoming call can be notified with sounds and light according to ambient sound and illuminance, and the incoming call notification is avoided as much as possible to surprise the user. In other words, when the ambient sound is low (quiet), the notification from the speaker 106 is made with a small sound, and when the ambient sound is loud (noisy), it is made with a loud sound, depending on the situation of the surrounding sound. Notify by ringtone. The incoming lamp 212 is lit with a dark lighting amount when the ambient illuminance is small (dark), and with a bright lighting amount when the ambient illuminance is large (bright), depending on the surrounding illuminance situation. Notification with the amount of lighting.

  In addition, in Mode A, that is, when the surroundings are quiet, it is controlled to start with a small sound proportional to the surrounding sound at the time of incoming call and gradually increase the volume, so you can notice the notification at the time of incoming call The user who did not notice the incoming call without being surprised. For this reason, it has become an incoming call notification method that makes it difficult for both users and people around the user to be surprised or uncomfortable.

  In this embodiment, only the sound is gradually increased. However, the lighting amount of the incoming lamp 212 and the vibration amount of the vibration device 210 may be gradually increased similarly.

  In addition, in this way, the surrounding situation at the time of incoming call is detected by the optical sensor 201 and the sound sensor 202, and the notification method according to the surrounding situation is automatically performed. Compared with the case where the mode is set, the user's operation can be suppressed as much as possible, so that the mobile communication terminal 101 can be easily used for the user.

  In addition, according to the mobile communication terminal 101 of the present invention, the surrounding situation at the time of an incoming call is detected, and a notification method according to the surrounding situation is automatically performed. For this reason, when the surrounding sound is low, the ringtone at the time of incoming call is set to be small, and when the surrounding is dark, the incoming call lamp 212 at the time of incoming call is controlled to be darkly lit. This contributes to energy saving and can extend the usage time of the battery.

  The operation of the mobile communication terminal 101 according to the present invention is as described above. However, if the mobile communication terminal 101 has a function capable of setting such control (hereinafter referred to as “incoming call notification mode”) for a certain period of time, a variety of users can be used. It is thought that it can respond to the request. In this case, the control device can be realized by configuring the control device to operate the incoming call notification mode of the present invention for a certain period of time, and including setting means that allows the user to arbitrarily set the certain time.

  Also in this different embodiment, the configuration is the same as that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the illustration and description thereof will be omitted. The reason why the configuration is the same is that the function of the setting means for setting the time and the function of the control means for operating the incoming call notification mode for a specific time are realized by software.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of a different embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a screen for setting the operation time zone of the mobile communication terminal of the present invention.

  Next, the operation of the mobile communication terminal 101 according to another embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  This different embodiment is that the desired time can be set in the incoming call notification mode of the present invention. This time is, for example, a time zone such as what hour and minute to what hour and minute, or a time from what time and how many minutes later.

  The usage state of the mobile communication terminal 101 of this different embodiment will be described. First, in S1001, the presence or absence of an incoming call is detected. If there is an incoming call, it is next determined in S1002 whether the user wants a time zone or duration. This determination is made based on whether or not the user has set a time zone or duration as described in FIG.

  If the user sets a time zone or duration and it is determined Yes in S1002, the time zone or duration set by the user in S1003 is read. In step S1004, it is determined whether the current time zone or duration is set by the user. If it is within the time zone or duration, notification is made in the incoming call notification mode of the present invention in S1005. This notification is performed by the notification shown in FIG. 6 and the operation flow shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 8, and FIG. However, the control of S701, S709, S710, S712, S714 in FIG. 7, S809, S810, S812, S814 in FIG. 8 and S909, S910, S912, and S914 in FIG. 9 overlap with the operation flow described in FIG. Therefore, it is out of scope and will not be executed.

  If the user answers the call while being notified by the incoming call notification mode of the present invention and an off-hook is confirmed in S1006, the ringtone, vibration device 210, and incoming lamp 212 are controlled to be stopped in S1007.

  If it is determined in S1002 that the user does not desire the time zone or duration, or if it is determined in S1004 that the user is outside the time zone or duration set by the user, the control moves to S1008. Broadcast in the set incoming mode. The set incoming mode is a mode set by the user in either the normal incoming mode or the manner mode. When the user answers the call while being notified in the set incoming mode, and the off-hook is confirmed in S1009, the ringtone, the vibration device 210, and the incoming lamp 212 are controlled to be stopped in S1007. The

  Next, a method for setting the time zone and duration of the mobile communication terminal 101 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the user wants to set a time zone or duration, a screen 1101 shown in FIG. 11 is displayed by key operation. Then, by operating based on the menu screen of this screen 1101, the user sets the time zone and the duration from the present.

  To set the time zone, select “2. Set the incoming call notification mode of the present invention (time zone setting)” on the screen 1101 and press the OK key. Then, a time zone setting screen 1102 is displayed. On this screen 1102, the time zone is set by the input units 1104 and 1105 using the cross key and the numeric keys, and the OK key is pressed. This sets the time zone.

  To set the duration from the current time, select “3. Set the incoming call notification mode of the present invention (set for a certain period of time from now)” on screen 1101 and press the OK key. . Then, a duration setting screen 1103 is displayed. On this screen 1103, the time is set by the input unit 1106 using the cross key or the numeric keys, and the duration is set by pressing the OK key. As described above, when the user sets the time zone or the duration, it is determined Yes in S1002 of FIG.

  If the user wants to cancel the time zone or duration, select “4. Cancel manner mode / incoming mode of the present invention” on the screen 1102 in FIG. 11 and press the OK key.
