Description

  The present invention relates to a portable communication terminal having a manner mode function.

  In recent years, mobile communication terminals represented by mobile phones, PHS (Personal Handy phone System), and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) have become smaller and lighter, and their functions include not only calling but also e-mail transmission / reception functions and imaging functions. Various things such as are added. Therefore, the usability of the mobile communication terminal is further improved, and the user has always possessed the mobile communication terminal regardless of the place or the situation. However, when riding on a train, bus, etc., the ringtone, operation sound, and voice of a call caused by using a mobile communication terminal will be a nuisance to the surroundings. Need to be set.

  However, turning on / off the manner mode manually every time you get on or off a train or bus is cumbersome, and you forget to set it in the place where the manner mode should be set, and the ring tone sounds unintentionally. It sometimes happened.

  Therefore, in order not to forget to set the mobile communication terminal to manner mode, set a date and time on the mobile communication terminal in advance that cannot accept incoming calls from other people, and automatically set / cancel the manner mode when the set date and time is reached. A technique for performing is disclosed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, when the time zone for commuting on a train or bus is set in the mobile communication terminal, the mobile communication terminal detects the data detected from the acceleration sensor in the set time zone and the comparison data stored in advance. A technique is also disclosed in which the manner mode is set by determining that the vehicle is on a train or a bus if the detected data is correlated with each other (for example, Patent Document 2).

Furthermore, even if the mobile communication terminal is not manually set to the manner mode, the illuminance sensor installed in the mobile communication terminal measures the ambient brightness, and the manner mode of the mobile communication terminal is automatically set according to the ambient brightness. A technique for automatically setting / releasing is also disclosed (for example, Patent Document 3).

  When the above-described technology for setting the date and time to the mobile communication terminal in advance is used, the mobile communication terminal automatically switches to the manner mode when it comes to a time zone for repeated actions every day. However, even if you encounter a scene that requires setting to manner mode, such as sudden meeting meetings, business trips, traveling on trains outside the set time, etc., you can switch to manner mode. Not done.

  Even if the technique for correlating with the comparison data described above is used, the data to be compared cannot be prepared in a sudden business trip or the like. End up.

  Furthermore, when the above-described technology for measuring ambient brightness is used, the user can set to shift to the manner mode when the surroundings of the mobile communication terminal become dark. However, since the use and storage of the mobile communication terminal are repeated, it is determined that the illuminance sensor is dark, for example, in the cage regardless of the presence or absence of sunlight, and the mode is switched to the manner mode even when it is not necessary to change the manner mode. End up.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is to eliminate the trouble of forgetting to change to the manner mode and the trouble of changing to the manner mode, and automatically. To provide a portable communication terminal capable of switching on / off of the manner mode.

  In solving the above-described problems, according to an aspect of the present invention, a mobile communication terminal capable of wireless communication with a base station, which is detected by an attitude detection unit that detects the attitude of the mobile communication terminal, and the attitude detection unit There is provided a portable communication terminal comprising a setting switching unit that switches on / off of the manner mode according to a posture.

  The mobile communication terminal can switch the manner mode on / off by detecting the attitude. By providing the setting switching unit, the manner mode is automatically set even if the user does not manually set the mobile communication terminal.

  The setting switching unit may turn on the manner mode when the longitudinal direction of the mobile communication terminal is in the vertical direction.

  For example, when the mobile communication terminal is placed in a shirt pocket, for example, the mobile communication terminal can be easily held vertically or vertically with respect to the pocket. Is turned on.

  The setting switching unit may determine that the longitudinal direction is the vertical direction when the inclination of the mobile communication terminal with respect to the vertical line in the longitudinal direction is within 30 °.

  By providing an angle that is allowed from the vertical direction in this way, the manner mode is automatically switched on and the on-state is maintained even when the mobile communication terminal is slightly inclined in a shirt pocket or bag. can do.

  The posture detection unit includes a plurality of electrode units arranged apart from each other and a liquid metal sealed in a region surrounded by the plurality of electrode units, and the liquid metal dropped by gravity is separated from each other. The vertical orientation may be detected by electrically connecting the two.

  With such a configuration, the mobile communication terminal detects whether the posture is in the vertical direction using gravity, so that the posture in the vertical direction can be detected efficiently.

  The apparatus further includes a pressure detection unit that detects pressure applied to the mobile communication terminal, and the setting switching unit turns on the manner mode based on the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit in addition to the posture detected by the posture detection unit. / Off may be switched.

  For example, external pressure is applied to a portable communication terminal inserted in a shirt or trouser pocket. With such a configuration of the pressure detection unit, not only the posture of the mobile communication terminal but also its pressure is detected, so the setting switching unit can more reliably determine that it is in the pocket of a shirt or trousers.

  The apparatus further includes a vibration detection unit that detects vibration applied to the mobile communication terminal, and the setting switching unit turns on the manner mode based on the vibration detected by the vibration detection unit in addition to the posture detected by the posture detection unit. / Off may be switched.

  For example, when a user gets on a train, the mobile communication terminal receives vibration of the train. With the configuration of the vibration detection unit, the setting switching unit can more reliably determine that it is in a shirt or trouser pocket while riding on a train or bus.

  The setting switching unit may switch the manner mode on / off based on the use state of the mobile communication terminal in addition to the posture detected by the posture detection unit.

  With this setting switching unit, the mobile communication terminal can keep the manner mode off when the game is being operated, for example, even when the manner mode should be switched on. Therefore, it is possible to set the manner mode on / off from a combination of a plurality of conditions.

  The setting switching unit may further switch on / off the manner mode by determining that the mobile communication terminal is fitted in a predetermined charger.

  When charging the mobile communication terminal during sleep, the sleep may be hindered by the ringtone of the mobile communication terminal. With the configuration in which the manner mode is turned on when the mobile communication terminal is charged, a good sleep can be obtained without disturbing sleep.

  The setting switching unit may further include an attitude setting unit that arbitrarily sets an attitude for turning on the manner mode.

  With this posture setting unit, the user can individually set a desired angle at which the manner mode is desired to be turned on.

  When the manner switching is switched on / off by the setting switching unit, a switching notification unit may be further provided to notify the user to that effect.

  The switching notification unit notifies the user that the manner mode has been switched on / off. Therefore, the user can easily recognize whether the manner mode is on or off.

  You may further provide the time delay part which ignores the sudden attitude | position change within predetermined time.

  The setting switching unit attempts to switch the manner mode on / off when the attitude of the mobile communication terminal to switch the manner mode on / off is detected even for a short time. However, when the posture of the mobile communication terminal changes suddenly, the mobile phone returns immediately to the original posture, and the manner mode switching is complicated. Therefore, the time delay unit does not immediately change the manner mode setting even if the setting switching unit determines that the attitude set to the manner mode on / off temporarily matches, and the posture is maintained for a predetermined time. It is determined that the posture has changed. In this way, the manner mode is turned on / off without repeating unnecessary processing by the mobile communication terminal.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically turn on / off the manner mode without forgetting to change to the manner mode or bothering to change to the manner mode.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, in this specification and drawing, about the component which has the substantially same function structure, duplication description is abbreviate | omitted by attaching | subjecting the same code | symbol.

  In the mobile communication terminal of the present embodiment, the manner mode can be automatically switched on / off depending on the attitude of the mobile communication terminal. The manner mode includes a silence mode that emits vibration with a vibrator without ringing when receiving an incoming call, a drive mode that makes you stay away while driving a car, or you can stop sending and receiving radio waves and use only the camera and built-in games Self mode etc. are mentioned. Examples of the mobile communication terminal according to the present embodiment include a PHS, a mobile phone, and a PDA. Here, in order to facilitate understanding of the present embodiment, a PHS terminal will be described as an example. Hereinafter, the overall configuration of the PHS terminal will be described first, and then the detailed configuration according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing functions of the PHS terminal 100, and FIG. 2 is an external perspective view for explaining a schematic configuration of the PHS terminal 100. The PHS terminal 100 includes a terminal control unit 110, a terminal memory 112, a display unit 114, an operation unit 116, a voice input unit 118, a voice output unit 120, a wireless communication unit 122, and an attitude detection unit 124. The pressure detection unit 126, the vibration detection unit 128, the setting switching unit 130, the posture setting unit 132, the switching notification unit 134, and the time delay unit 136 are configured.

  The terminal control unit 110 manages and controls the entire PHS terminal 100 using a semiconductor integrated circuit including a central processing unit (CPU). In addition, the terminal control unit 110 can perform various functions such as mail creation, Web browsing, music playback, and TV viewing using the program in the terminal memory 112.

  The terminal memory 112 includes a ROM, RAM, EEPROM, nonvolatile RAM, flash memory, HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and the like, and stores programs processed by the terminal control unit 110, audio data, and the like.

  The display unit 114 is provided in the first housing 160 and is configured by a liquid crystal display, EL (Electro Luminescence), PDP (Plasma Display Panel), etc., and stored in the terminal memory 112 or via a communication network. A GUI (Graphical User Interface) of a Web browser or an application provided from a relay server (not shown) can be displayed.

  The operation unit 116 is mainly composed of operation keys such as a keyboard, a cross key, and a joystick provided on the second casing 162, and accepts a user operation input.

  The voice input unit 118 is composed of a voice recognition device such as a microphone in the second housing 162, and converts the user's voice input during a call into an electrical signal that can be processed in the PHS terminal 100.

  The voice output unit 120 is configured with a speaker in the first housing 160, and converts the voice signal of the communication partner received by the PHS terminal 100 into voice and outputs the voice. Also, a ring tone, an operation sound by the operation unit 116, an alarm sound, etc. can be output.

  The wireless communication unit 122 performs wireless communication with the base station 200 in the PHS terminal network. As such wireless communication, there is a time division multiplexing method in which a plurality of time slots obtained by time division of frames in the base station 200 are respectively assigned to channels of the PHS terminal 100 for communication.

  The posture detection unit 124 detects the posture (angle, inclination) of the PHS terminal 100. For example, when an acceleration sensor is provided in the PHS terminal 100, the direction in which gravity is working is detected and the posture from the vertical direction is calculated. By using the acceleration sensor, the angle of the PHS terminal 100 can be detected linearly.

  The pressure detection unit 126 includes a pressure sensor that detects an external pressure applied to the PHS terminal 100. As such a pressure sensor, there is a semiconductor pressure sensor or the like in which when a pressure is applied to a gauge resistance, the gauge resistance changes according to the deflection of the pressure and is converted into an electric signal. Further, a displacement sensor (distance sensor, push switch) that detects pressure through the amount of displacement can be substituted.

  The vibration detection unit 128 is composed of a vibration sensor that detects a vibration applied to the PHS terminal 100 from the outside. As such a vibration sensor, there is a piezoresistive vibration sensor that forms a bridge with a piezoresistor on a silicon chip and outputs a change in resistance due to vibration received from the outside as an electric signal. Further, the acceleration sensor functioning as the posture detection unit 124 can also detect vibration.

  The setting switching unit 130 switches the manner mode on / off when the posture detected by the posture detection unit 124 matches a predetermined range. In addition to the posture detected by the posture detector 124, the setting switching unit 130 turns on / off the manner mode by combining the pressure detected by the pressure detector 126 and the vibration detected by the vibration detector 128. It can also be switched off. Details of this combination will be described later.

  The posture setting unit 132 allows the user to arbitrarily set the posture and the range of postures in which the setting switching unit 130 turns on the manner mode. If the posture setting unit 132 is set, the setting switching unit 130 switches the manner mode on / off within the set posture or the range of the posture. The posture setting unit 132 allows the user to individually set desired angles at which the manner mode is desired to be turned on.

  When the setting switching unit 130 switches the manner mode on / off, the switching notification unit 134 notifies the user of the switching through the speaker of the audio output unit 120, the screen of the display unit 114, the vibrator, and the like. .

  The time delay unit 136 is used to ignore the change in posture when the posture of the PHS terminal 100 changes suddenly. The setting switching unit 130 attempts to switch the manner mode on / off if the attitude of the PHS terminal 100 that switches the manner mode on / off is detected even for a short time. However, if the posture of the PHS terminal 100 is suddenly changed, it immediately returns to the original posture, and the manner mode switching is complicated. Therefore, the time delay unit 136 does not immediately change the manner mode setting even if the setting switching unit 130 determines that the attitude set on / off of the manner mode is temporarily matched, and for a predetermined time, for example, It is determined that the posture is changed when the posture is maintained for 10 seconds. Thus, the manner mode is turned on / off without the PHS terminal 100 repeating unnecessary processing.

  As described above, the PHS terminal 100 can automatically switch on / off the manner mode according to the posture. Such switching of the manner mode can be performed using not only the posture but also a determination criterion such as pressure or vibration applied to the PHS terminal 100. The manner mode switching of the PHS terminal 100 will be described in detail below.

  FIG. 3 is an external view for explaining the transition of the PHS terminal 100 to the manner mode. As shown in FIG. 3A, for example, the longitudinal direction of the PHS terminal 100 maintains the vertical (vertical) posture in the pocket 250 of the heel 240. The posture detecting unit 124 of the PHS terminal 100 detects the posture of the PHS terminal 100, and the setting switching unit 130 turns on the manner mode when the posture of the PHS terminal 100 is in the vertical direction, and when the posture is not in the vertical direction. Turns manner mode off. In addition to automatic switching, for example, when the user intentionally turns on the manner mode, the manner mode can be kept on unless the manner mode is intentionally turned off.

  Further, as shown in the side views of the PHS terminal 100 in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the longitudinal direction of the PHS terminal 100 is about 30 ° with respect to the vertical line (vertical axis). It is determined that the range of postures until this is the vertical direction in this embodiment. By providing such an allowable angle as the vertical direction, the setting switching unit 130 can keep the manner mode on if the PHS terminal 100 swings within about 30 ° of inclination, for example, swings due to bowing. it can.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, for example, when the user goes out with the PHS terminal 100 being inserted into the pocket 250 of the bag 240, vibration of walking or train is given to the PHS terminal 100 through the bag 240. If the vibration detection unit 128 detects the given vibration and turns on the manner mode based on both conditions of the vibration and the above-described posture, it can be more reliably determined that the user is in the pocket 250 of the bag 240. it can.

  Further, when the PHS terminal 100 is inserted into the pocket 250 of the bag 240, the shirt or trouser pocket, etc., pressure is applied from the outside. A configuration for detecting the state of the PHS terminal 100 using the pressure applied to the PHS terminal 100 will be described below.

  For example, FIG. 4 is an external view in which the pressure detection unit 126 is arranged in the PHS terminal 100. The PHS terminal 100 shown in FIG. 4 is normally inserted into the pocket 250 of the heel 240 or the pocket of a shirt or trousers in a folded posture with the first housing 160 and the second housing 162 facing each other. Here, a pressure sensor (not shown) provided in the pressure detection unit 126 is fixed to one buffer member and the other is fixed to the second housing portion 162, and detects pressure applied via the buffer member. . When the PHS terminal 100 is folded, the pressure detection unit 126 comes into contact with the first housing 160 and can detect an external pressure applied to the first housing 160 and the second housing 162. If pressure is detected and the manner mode is turned on based on both conditions of the pressure and the above-described posture, it can be more reliably determined that the user is in the pocket 250 of the bag 240 or the pocket of a shirt or trousers.

  Here, the pressure detection unit 126 may receive a sudden high pressure when the PHS terminal 100 is folded or when getting on and off the train. If the predetermined pressure is detected only for a short time, the setting switching unit 130 ignores the pressure and does not switch the manner mode.

  Further, on / off of the manner mode is switched depending on, for example, a combination of the attitude of the PHS terminal 100 and the result of detecting vibration and pressure on the PHS terminal 100.

  In addition to the detected posture, the setting switching unit 130 can also switch on / off the manner mode based on the usage state of the PHS terminal 100.

  With this setting switching unit 130, for example, the PHS terminal 100 can maintain the manner mode off in a use state in which a game or the like is being operated even when the manner mode should be switched on. The game is normally performed with the PHS terminal 100 held vertically, but this is to prevent unintentional switching to the manner mode when the game is performed. Thus, the manner mode can be turned on / off from a combination of a plurality of conditions.

  Next, the transition to the manner mode when charging the PHS terminal 100 will be described. FIG. 5 is an external view in which the PHS terminal 100 is fitted to the charger 260.

  As a state in which the PHS terminal 100 is not used for a predetermined time, for example, sleep is given. Usually, the user charges the PHS terminal 100 using the sleep time. For example, if the PHS terminal 100 is fitted to the charger 260 as shown in FIG. 5 before sleeping, charging is completed when the user wakes up.

  However, if the posture of the PHS terminal 100 fitted to the charger 260 is not a posture in which the manner mode is turned on, if there is an incoming call to the PHS terminal 100, there is a possibility that sleep may be hindered by the incoming sound. Therefore, sleep is prevented by setting the PHS terminal 100 fitted to the charger 260 to the manner mode on regardless of the posture of the PHS terminal 100, the pressure on the PHS terminal 100, and the vibration on the PHS terminal 100. Without having to sleep well.

  Moreover, as a form of charge, not only the form fitted to the charger 260 as described above, but also various forms such as a form of receiving power from the charging cable through the connector can be used. Also in such other forms, the PHS terminal 100 can recognize that charging is possible and can automatically switch the manner mode on.

  In the embodiment described above, an acceleration sensor is used as the posture detection unit 124. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other mechanisms can also be used as the posture detection unit. Hereinafter, another example of the attitude detection unit that detects that the PHS terminal 100 is in the vertical direction will be described.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining another example of the posture detection unit. As shown in FIG. 6A, the posture detection unit 300 has a shape in which two identical cones are combined at the bases of each other. The AA longitudinal cross-sectional view of Fig.6 (a) is shown in FIG.6 (b) and FIG.6 (c). The first electrode part 310, the second electrode part 312 and the third electrode part 314 are each made of metal. The electrode units 310, 312, and 314 inside the posture detection unit 300 may be plated in order to prevent rusting. Each electrode part 310,312,314 is spaced apart so that it may not contact mutually as shown in FIG.6 (b). In the posture detection unit 300, a liquid metal 320 that conducts electricity, such as mercury, is enclosed.

  When each electrode of the first electrode part 310, the second electrode part 312, and the third electrode part 314 is energized with another electrode via the liquid metal 320, a current is supplied to the first current detector 330 or the second current detector 332. The flow and posture detection unit 300 can grasp the posture of the PHS terminal 100. This will be described in detail below.

  The liquid metal 320 sealed in the posture detection unit 300 moves under the influence of gravity. The liquid metal 320 is sealed together with a liquid that has a low specific gravity and does not conduct electricity. As shown in FIG. 6C, for example, the orientation of the PHS terminal 100 is vertical, and the liquid metal 320 falls vertically downward by gravity. The dropped liquid metal 320 enters a break between the first electrode part 310 and the second electrode part 312 or comes into contact with the surfaces of the first electrode part 310 and the second electrode part 312, so that the electrical Help you connect. When the first electrode part 310 and the second electrode part 312 are in electrical contact, a current flows through the first current detector 330. When a current flows to the first current detector 330, the posture detection unit 300 grasps that the posture of the PHS terminal 100 is in the vertical direction. As described above, the posture detection unit 300 can efficiently detect the posture in the vertical direction by using gravity.

  When the PHS terminal 100 is tilted, the liquid metal 320 enclosed in the posture detection unit 300 is displaced to one side according to gravity. When this inclination increases, the liquid 320 that has been in contact with the first electrode unit 310 moves toward the second electrode unit 312. The liquid metal 320 existing between the first electrode portion 310 and the second electrode portion 312 also moves to the second electrode portion 312 and loses electrical connection. Then, the posture detection unit 300 includes the liquid metal 320 in the gap between the second electrode unit 312 and the third electrode unit 314, and the second electrode unit 312 and the third electrode unit 314 are electrically connected to each other. The current flowing through the current detector 332 is detected.

  When the manner mode is turned on / off in this way, some users have a desire to know the current manner mode state. Therefore, the PHS terminal 100 according to the present embodiment notifies the switching notification unit 134 of the manner mode on / off switching. This notification will be described below.

  FIG. 7 is an external view for explaining how the manner mode is switched on / off. The setting switching unit 130 switches the manner mode on / off according to the result detected by the posture detection unit 124. However, since the manner mode on / off switching is automatically set, the user may not be aware of the manner mode on / off switching. Therefore, by providing a switching notification unit 134 that notifies on / off switching of the manner mode, the user can recognize that the manner mode has been switched on / off.

  The switching notification unit 134 flashes light through the light emitting unit 350 shown in FIG. 7 to notify the manner mode switching. In addition, a sound is output from the speaker of the audio output unit 120, a vibration function provided in the PHS terminal 100 is used, or characters are displayed on the display unit 114 to notify the switching to the manner mode. it can. One or a combination of these notification functions can be used.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described referring an accompanying drawing, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to the example which concerns. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the claims, and these are naturally within the technical scope of the present invention.
