“Mute” for stopping the output of the ring tone is set, and a display screen indicating that “mute” is set is displayed on the display 6 (see the display screen I in FIG. 4).

Then, as described above, the control circuit 2
After a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), a transition is again made to a state in which one of the above “set to individual” and “set to group” can be selected, and “set to individual” and “set to group” A display screen indicating that any one of the “settings” can be selected is displayed on the display 6 (see the display screen H in FIG. 4).

By the control described above, the control circuit 2
After that, when there is an incoming call to the telephone number of the corresponding memory number, the output of the ring tone is stopped.

When the control circuit 2 detects that a predetermined key for selecting and not selecting "unspecified" has been operated, the control circuit 2 sets "not specified" for not specifying a ring tone, and sets "not specified". A display screen indicating the setting is displayed on the display 6 (see the display screen J in FIG. 4).

Then, as described above, the control circuit 2
After a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), a transition is again made to a state in which one of the above “set to individual” and “set to group” can be selected, and “set to individual” and “set to group” A display screen indicating that any one of the “settings” can be selected is displayed on the display 6 (see the display screen H in FIG. 4).

By the control described above, the control circuit 2
After that, when there is an incoming call to the phone number of the corresponding memory number, the ring tone is set according to the pattern or melody set as the default according to the key operation different from the key operation in “Ring volume setting”. Will be output.

In the above, the control circuit 2 sets the volume of the ring tone individually for each telephone number, and sets the volume of the ring tone for each group of a plurality of telephone numbers. This is an explanation of the case where “set to individual” is selected from “set to group”, but the control circuit 2 operates the predetermined key to select and set “set to group”. Is detected, the state transits to a state where the group can be selected, and a display screen indicating that the group can be selected is displayed on the display 6 (FIG. 5).
Medium, see display screen K).

Thereafter, the control circuit 2 executes the same processing as the processing executed when the above-mentioned “set to individual” is selected, whereby the control circuit 2 selects a plurality of telephone numbers belonging to the corresponding group. When there is an incoming call to any of the phone numbers, depending on the set status, output the ringtone according to the specified pattern or melody, stop the output of the ringtone, or set "Ring volume"
The ring tone is output according to a pattern or melody set as a default in response to a key operation different from the key operation in.

Next, the control contents executed when the control circuit 2 receives a call will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When detecting the incoming call, the control circuit 2 determines "YES" in step S1, searches the memory dial stored in the memory 7 (step S2), and stores the incoming call history of the incoming call in the memory 7. (Step S
3).

If the telephone number relating to the incoming call matches the telephone number stored as the memory dial as a result of searching the memory dial,
It is determined as "YES" in step S4, and it is determined whether or not the above "ring volume setting" is set to valid (step S5).

Here, the control circuit 2 sets "Ring volume setting".
Is set to be valid, "YE" is set in step S5.
S ”and the“ pattern / melody designation ”described above,
It is determined which of "silence" and "not specified" is set (steps S6 and S7).

If "pattern / melody designation" is set, the control circuit 2 outputs a ringtone according to the designated pattern or melody (step S8). If “silence” is set, the control circuit 2 stops outputting the ringtone (step S9), that is, does not output the ringtone. Further, the control circuit 2
If "not specified" is set, a ringtone is output according to a pattern or melody set as a default according to a key operation different from the key operation in "ring volume setting" (step S10).

By the way, in the configuration described above, by selecting "pattern / melody designation" and designating a pattern or melody, a ring tone is output according to the designated pattern or melody, and "silence" is selected. This stops the output of the ringtone,
In other words, whether to output the ringtone or to stop the output is selected. However, by setting the volume of the ringtone, the ringtone can be output according to the set volume level. .

As described above, according to this embodiment,
By operating a predetermined key, the volume of the ring tone is set for the telephone number stored as the memory dial, and when an incoming call is received, the incoming call history for the incoming call is stored, and the telephone number and the memory for the incoming call are stored. If the phone number stored as the dial matches, the ring tone is output or the output of the ring tone is stopped according to the volume set for the phone number related to the incoming call. did.

Therefore, for example, when the portable telephone device 1 is used for both work and private use, for a telephone number relating to work, "pattern / melody designation" is selected and a ring tone is output. On the other hand, while for private phone numbers,
By selecting "Mute" and setting so that the ringtone is not output, the incoming call history can be stored during working hours, but the ringtone is output, causing a great deal of inconvenience to the surroundings. Can be avoided beforehand, thereby improving usability.

By setting the volume of the ring tone for the telephone number in this way, even if the pattern or melody of the ring tone is the same, the volume of the ring tone can be identified to make a call. The other party can be identified. The number of callers that can be identified can be increased by the relationship between the pattern or melody of the ringtone and the volume of the ringtone, thereby further improving the usability.

Further, since the volume of the ring tone is individually set for the telephone number stored as the memory dial by selecting "set individually", the telephone number is set for each telephone number. A setting can be made so that a ring tone is output for the telephone number, or a setting is made so that the ring tone is not output.

By selecting "set to group", the volume of the ring tone can be set for each group of a plurality of telephone numbers with respect to the telephone number stored as a memory dial. With this configuration, it is possible to set, for each group, a ring tone to be output to a plurality of telephone numbers belonging to the group, or to set no ring tone to be output.
