It is a flowchart which shows the process sequence of embodiment of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows the process sequence of other embodiment of this invention.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  First, with reference to FIG. 1, the configuration of a mobile terminal (mobile phone) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is an external view of a mobile phone.

  The mobile phone 1 includes an LCD display unit 11, a speaker 12, a vibrator 13, a key operation unit 14, a battery 15, and an antenna 16. Here, the antenna 16 is a built-in type antenna in the present embodiment.

  FIG. 2 is an internal block diagram of the mobile phone 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The cellular phone 1 includes a control unit 21 that controls each operation, a memory 22 that stores settings, a wireless unit 23, an LCD display unit 11, a speaker 12 that rings a ringtone, a vibrator 13 that vibrates, and a key that inputs an operation An operation unit (input unit) 14, a battery 15 for supplying power, and a transmission / reception antenna 16 are provided.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, notification setting contents at the time of a missed call will be described.

  FIG. 3 shows the notification setting content (first notification content) for missed calls.

  The first notification contents are: Vibrator vibration availability setting 31 (ON / OFF selected), notification sound ringing availability setting 32 (ON / OFF selected), notification function call when vibrator is ON and notification sound is ON Whether or not to perform missed call notification by performing interval input 33 (select from 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or directly input), notification volume setting 34, and phonebook registration number verification 35) If there is a missed call that has not yet been confirmed by the user, if the missed call is repeated twice or more from the same number, setting 36 for whether or not to change the setting 36 Selection).

  FIG. 4 shows the notification setting content (second notification content) when there is a missed call repeated two or more times.

  The second notification contents are: Vibrate vibration use / non-use setting 41 (ON / OFF selected), Notification sound ringing availability setting 42 (ON / OFF selected), Notification function call when vibrator is ON and notification sound is ON Whether or not to perform missed call notification by performing interval input 43 (select from 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or directly input), notification volume setting 44, and phonebook registration number verification 45 is selected).

  The purpose of collating phonebook registration numbers is to increase the importance of incoming calls from numbers registered in an important group in advance, and to color code unnecessary calls such as unwanted calls. This is to avoid the missed call notification operation.

  The purpose of changing the setting when a missed call is repeated twice or more from the same telephone number is to increase the importance of a high-priority incoming call such as a rushed case. Even if the notification sound is turned off for the first time, it is possible to notify a missed call that is easier to notice by setting the notification sound to sound in the second and subsequent settings.

  By combining the above two settings, it is possible to cope with a case where an unnecessary nuisance call is repeatedly received and a missed call is not notified.

  In addition, it is assumed that a plurality of patterns can be registered as the selected setting, and these setting contents can be selected by a simple method.

  An example of this pattern will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the user sets the first notification content for the notification content of the missed call.

  As an example when the manner level is set high, such as in a public place or during a meeting, the vibrator is “ON”, the notification sound is “OFF”, the notification interval is “10 minutes” (the notification volume is not necessary because the notification sound is OFF) The phone book registration number is collated “Yes”, and the setting change “No” when the missed call is repeated twice or more is selected and stored in the memory 22 (see FIG. 2) in the form of pattern 1 or the like.

  On the other hand, as an example when the manner level is set low at home or the like, vibrator “ON”, notification sound “ON”, notification interval “1 minute”, notification volume “maximum”, phonebook registration number verification “OFF” When the missed call is repeated twice or more, the setting change “NO” is selected and stored in the memory 22 (see FIG. 2) in the form of pattern 2 or the like.

  Next, a processing procedure according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the mobile phone 1 receives a call or mail (S501), it is determined whether or not a response has been made (S502). When the response is made, the telephone call is started or the mail is opened (S503).

  On the other hand, if no response is made, it is determined whether or not the first missed call notification content (see FIG. 3) is set (S504).

  If the first notification content (see FIG. 3) is not set as a result of the determination (S504), it is processed as a missed call or unread mail, and the mobile phone 1 displays a missed call icon or the like on the LCD display unit 11 or the like. Is presented (S505).

  If the first notification content (see FIG. 3) is set as a result of the determination (S504), it is determined whether or not there are two or more missed calls from the same number (S506).

  As a result of the determination (S506), when the number of missed calls is less than twice, the set first notification content (see FIG. 3) is executed to notify the user that there is a missed call (S511). . Thereafter, the process is repeated until the content of the missed call is confirmed by the user (S512 to S513).

  If the result of determination (S506) is that there are two or more missed calls, it is determined whether or not the second notification content (see FIG. 4) is set (S507). That is, it is determined whether or not the setting change is effective when the missed call is repeated twice or more.

  If the second notification content (see FIG. 4) is not set as a result of the determination (S507), the set first notification content (see FIG. 3) is executed (S511).

  If the second notification content (see FIG. 4) is set as a result of the determination (S507), the set second notification content (see FIG. 4) is executed, and the user receives a missed call. The presence is notified (S508). Thereafter, the process is repeated until the contents of the missed call are confirmed by the user (S509 to S510).

  According to the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the details of the missed call notification according to the surrounding situation, it is possible to reliably notify the user of the missed call without causing the user to confirm the presence or absence of the missed call. It becomes possible to do.

  In this way, according to the notification content at the time of missed call according to TPO, by performing notification sound and vibrator operation with content considering the surrounding environment, without letting the user consciously check whether there is a missed call It is possible to notify the user that there is a missed call.

  More specifically, a missed call can be notified to the user by a notification sound or vibration of a vibrator. In addition, since it is possible to change settings corresponding to incoming calls with a high degree of urgency, it is also possible to make it easier to notice.

  Furthermore, it is possible to perform setting with manner awareness according to TPO. For example, in a quiet situation such as a movie theater or a meeting, avoid annoying notifications that are annoying to the surroundings, and settings that are easy for the user to notice in an environment where notification sounds and vibrator operations are not disturbing to the surroundings, such as during shopping and at home This makes it possible to report missed calls.

  Next, a processing procedure according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  5 is different from the flowchart of FIG. 5 in that S505 is changed to S601 and S602 and S603 are newly added. The other processing procedures are the same as the processing procedure of FIG.

  In the present embodiment, in the cellular phone 1 having a voice guidance function such as a message memo during the manner mode setting, the calling party is notified according to the setting contents of the missed call notification contents (see FIGS. 3 and 4). Notify the status of the called party by guidance.

  Specifically, the following guidance can be considered as the content of the guidance in S602 and S603.

  When the notification content (see FIG. 3 and FIG. 4) of the missed call with the vibrator “OFF” and the notification sound “OFF” is set, the caller is notified by the guidance that the telephone cannot be answered. An example of the guidance content is “Please wait for a while since it is currently impossible to make a call”.

  If you have set the notification content for missed calls (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) with vibrator "ON" and notification sound "OFF", call "Please wait for a while because the vibrator will alert you of missed calls" Although it was not possible to respond to the call, the caller is notified that the absence notification by the vibrator is being implemented.

  If you have set the notification contents for missed calls with the vibrator “ON” and the notification sound “ON” (see Figure 3 and Figure 4), “Please wait for a while. However, the caller is notified that the absence notification is being performed with a notification sound and a notification content that is easily noticed by the vibrator.

  According to another embodiment of the present invention, the calling party can be notified of the situation on the receiving side. In addition, by notifying the caller of the status of the incoming call side according to the content of the missed call notification of the current callee side, it is informed why the call cannot be answered and that there was a missed call. You can refrain from making unnecessary calls.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been specifically described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention are possible.
