[0028]
First, it is assumed that the casing of the mobile phone device is closed.
[0029]
In step S1 in FIG. 3, when the control circuit 11 detects a signal indicating that there is an incoming call from the baseband unit 3, the process proceeds to step S2.
[0030]
In step S2, the control circuit 11 causes the speaker 8 to output a ring tone and proceeds to step S3.
[0031]
In step S3, when the control circuit 11 detects a signal indicating that the casing of the mobile phone device has been opened from the open / close switch 17, the process proceeds to step S4. Otherwise, the process returns to step S1.
[0032]
In step S4, when the control circuit 11 determines that the information indicating the open response mode is stored in the second storage unit 13, the process proceeds to step S5, and the information indicating the normal response mode is obtained. If it is determined that it is stored, the process proceeds to step S6.
[0033]
In step S5, the control circuit 11 controls the baseband unit 3 to connect the lines and start a call. When the call ends and the line is disconnected, the control circuit 11 returns the process to step S1.
[0034]
In step S 6, the control circuit 11 reads a voice message (for example, “normal response mode”) stored in the second storage unit 13 and indicating the current normal response mode, and outputs it from the speaker 8. .
[0035]
In the subsequent step S7, the control circuit 11 proceeds to step S5 when detecting a signal indicating that the call key has been pressed from the input unit 16, and proceeds to step S8 if not.
[0036]
In step S8, when the control circuit 11 detects a signal indicating that there is an incoming call from the baseband unit 3, the control circuit 11 proceeds to step S9, and otherwise returns to step S1.
[0037]
In step S9, the control circuit 11 causes the speaker 8 to output a ring tone.
[0038]
As described above, in this embodiment, the user can listen to the current setting state of the mobile phone device by voice message when the casing is opened. For example, the user automatically responds when receiving an incoming call. Even if the case is opened because it is set (open response mode), the mobile phone device is actually set not to answer incoming calls even if the case is opened (normal response) Therefore, even if the user speaks “Hello” into the microphone, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the call is not actually started and the user feels very uncomfortable. In addition, when the user opens the case, it is possible to recognize that it is in the normal response mode by a voice message, so the operation shifts to a call key pressing operation to immediately start a call, and the call is quickly received. Can respond to.
[0039]
In this embodiment, when the user opens the case, the normal response mode is output by a voice message. However, if the setting state related to the case is notified by a voice message, Other voice messages may be output.
[0040]
In addition, when a plurality of data indicating the setting state (for example, normal response mode, key lock state, etc.) of the cellular phone device and a plurality of voice messages corresponding to each of the setting states are stored and the housing is opened Alternatively, it may be configured to output a voice message corresponding to the setting state of the mobile phone device when opened.
[0041]
