FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the flip sound designation function. Referring to FIG. 3, CPU 1 instructs flip sound setting unit 2 to activate a flip sound designation function by a user input from display unit 8 or operation unit 10 (step S100). When the flip sound designation function is activated, the flip sound setting unit 2 displays a list of sound effects selectable by the user on the display unit 8. The user specifies a sound effect to be sounded as a flip sound based on the displayed list of sound effects by input from the display unit 8 or the operation unit 10 (step S110).

The flip sound setting unit 2 stores the data number of the sound effect specified by the user and the data head address in the ROM where the sound effect is stored in a predetermined area of the nonvolatile memory 3b. (Step S120). Thereby, the flip sound designation function in the case of sounding the sound effect as the flip sound ends.

FIG. 4 shows the CP during the flip opening / closing operation.
It is a flowchart explaining operation | movement of U1.

Referring to FIG. 4, CPU 1 detects a flip open operation based on a flip open detection signal output from flip open / close detector 11 (S150). CPU1
Executes a step group S200 for outputting a sound effect designated in advance by the flip sound designation function in response to the detection of the flip opening operation.

The step group S200 includes a step of reading a data head address corresponding to the sound effect data designated by the user from a predetermined area of the nonvolatile memory 3b (step S210), and a step of reading the ROM 9 based on the read data head address. Reading out the sound effect data from the step (Step S220). The read sound effect data is transmitted to the sound output unit 6 via the internal bus, and the sound output unit 6 performs D / A conversion of the given sound effect data and outputs a flip sound.

With this configuration, it is possible to output a sound effect specified by the user in advance in response to the flip opening operation. Therefore, the mobile phone 100 can be provided with new entertainment. This sound effect can be freely selected by the user, so that it is possible to meet the user's need for differentiation from others.

Further, the options of the sound effect data are not limited to those pre-stored in the ROM 9 by the manufacturer at the time of shipment, but are newly input by the user into an area specially provided in the nonvolatile memory 3b. For sound effect data,
If it is added to the selection list displayed by the flip sound setting unit 2, it is possible to more appropriately respond to user needs.

By initiating the same procedure in response to the flip closing operation, a flip sound can be output in response to the flip closing operation. The output of the flip sound in response to the flip opening operation / closing operation, respectively, may be selectable by a user.

Further, when a specific operation mode for stopping generation of a ring tone, such as a manner mode or a vibrating reception mode, is separately designated by the user, generation of a flip sound is automatically stopped. In this case, the convenience for the user can be further improved.

Second Embodiment In the first embodiment, the configuration in which the flip sound is the sound effect specified in advance by the user has been described. In the second embodiment, when the user uses the mobile phone, paying attention to the fact that the flip opening / closing operation is inseparable from the close contact, an alarm capable of issuing a warning according to the internal state of the mobile phone by a flip sound. The configuration further having a function is shown.

FIG. 5 shows a CP according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
It is a flowchart explaining operation | movement at the time of the flip opening operation of U1.

Referring to FIG. 5, when CPU 1 detects a flip opening operation in response to a flip opening detection signal from flip opening / closing detecting section 11 (step S150), a step group S250 for executing an alarm function is executed. Be executed. In FIG. 5, as an example of the alarm function, a battery remaining amount alarm function that warns the battery remaining amount by checking the battery voltage will be described.

When the flip opening operation is detected (step S150), CPU 1 determines whether or not the internal state of the mobile phone to be subjected to the alarm function corresponds to a warning condition (step S260).

In the remaining battery level alarm function, it is determined whether the battery voltage of the battery CL detected by the battery voltage detector 12 is equal to or less than a preset alarm threshold.

On the basis of the comparison result in step S260, when the internal state to be subjected to the alarm function corresponds to a warning condition, for example, when the battery voltage is lower than the alarm threshold voltage, a warning is issued to the user. Therefore, the head address of the alarm sound effect data is specified (step S270). Alarm sound effect data must be RO
M9, and the corresponding data head address is the CPU
It is sufficient to program it in 1. Alternatively, the alarm sound effect data may be configured to be user-selectable by the flip sound setting unit 2 according to the same procedure as that shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if the internal state subject to the alarm function does not correspond to the warning condition, for example, if the battery voltage is higher than the alarm threshold voltage, step S210 described in FIG.
Is executed. In this case, in order to output a normal sound effect specified by the user, a data head address stored in a predetermined area of the nonvolatile memory 3b corresponding to the sound effect specified by the user is specified.

By reading out the sound effect data based on the data head address specified in any of steps S210 and S270, the normal sound effect or the alarm sound effect specified by the user is read in accordance with the judgment result of the warning condition. The sound effect data corresponding to either one can be read (step S220). The sound effect data read by the CPU 1 is sent to the audio output unit 6 to generate a flip sound, as in the case of the first embodiment.

By adopting such a configuration, for example, every time the flip is opened, which triggers a call operation,
It is possible to check the remaining battery level and warn the user if necessary. In recent years, in a situation where the power saving of the mobile phone has been progressing and the cycle requiring charging has been prolonged, the convenience of the user can be improved by such a battery remaining amount alarm function.

Similarly, the same determination conditions are appropriately determined for other internal states other than the remaining battery level, and the process proceeds to step S26.
A similar effect can be obtained if either the normal sound effect specified by the user or the alarm sound effect is generated as a flip sound based on the determination result of 0.

As described above, the contents of the flip sound that is sounded in response to the flip opening operation allow the user to detect a warning corresponding to the internal state of the mobile phone.

The same procedure can be started in response to the flip closing operation. The execution of the alarm function in response to the flip open / close operation, respectively, may be selectable by the user. Further, as in the first embodiment, when a specific operation mode such as a manner mode or a vibrating incoming call mode is separately designated, the generation of the flip sound itself may be automatically stopped.

Third Embodiment In a third embodiment, a mode setting function for flip sound will be described.

FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the configuration of the flip sound mode setting function. Referring to FIG. 6, with respect to the setting of the flip sound mode at the time of the flip opening (or closing) operation, ON / OFF setting is hierarchically performed from the top,
There is a mode setting and a function selection setting.

In the ON / OFF setting, ON / OFF of the generation of the flip sound itself is set, an OFF mode for completely stopping the generation of the flip sound, and unconditional flip in response to the flip opening / closing operation. Force O to output sound
When the N-mode and the operation mode of the mobile phone are designated to a specific operation mode for forcibly stopping the generation of a ring tone, such as a so-called manner mode or a vibrate reception mode, the generation of a flip sound is automatically performed. , And otherwise, one of the automatic ON modes for generating a flip sound is selected.

In the mode setting, one of the sound effect mode described in the first embodiment and the function mode including the alarm function described in the second embodiment is selected.
When the function mode is selected, one function is further selected from a plurality of alarm functions and information notification functions. Since the alarm function is as described in the second embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated.

The information notification function is a function for outputting information on the internal state of the mobile phone in response to the flip opening / closing operation. For example, notification of the current time based on the output from the clock unit 13 and notification of the talk time in response to the flip closing operation can be performed.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the flip sound mode setting function. The flip sound mode setting function may be configured to be selectively executed by the flip sound setting unit 2 with the flip sound designation function described with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7, display unit 8 and operation unit 1
The CPU 1 instructs the flip sound setting unit 2 to activate the flip sound mode setting function in response to an input from the user for 0 (step S300). The flip sound setting unit 2 provides a display on the display unit 8 for selecting ON / OFF setting, and the user designates the ON / OFF setting to one of the modes by an input to the operation unit 10. (Step S310). Subsequently, the mode setting for designating one of the sound effect mode and the function mode is similarly performed (step S320). When the user selects the function mode, the user further selects one of a plurality of functions classified into an alarm function and an information notification function (step S340). Thus, the flip sound mode setting function ends. on the other hand,
When the user sets the sound effect mode in the mode setting, there is no need to make any further selection, so the flip sound mode setting function ends at this point.

The flip sound mode setting shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 may be set in response to each of the flip opening operation and the flip closing operation. Further, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which only a part of the flip sound mode setting is set as an object of user selection, and the rest of the flip sound mode setting cannot be changed with initial settings.

FIG. 8 shows a CP according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
It is a flowchart explaining operation | movement at the time of the flip opening / closing operation of U1.

Referring to FIG. 8, when the opening operation or the closing operation of the flip is detected (step S150), the CPU is activated.
1 confirms whether the flip sound OFF mode is set (step S400). Flip sound OFF
When the mode is set, the operation of the CPU 1 ends without generating a flip sound. Next, CPU
1 confirms whether the forced ON mode has been selected for the ON / OFF setting (step S410).

When the forced ON mode is not selected, the automatic ON mode is selected. Therefore, it is checked whether the operation mode of the mobile phone is set to a specific operation mode such as a silent mode. (Step S420). As a result, if the manner mode is set and the user does not want to generate unnecessary sounds outside,
The operation of the CPU 1 ends without generating a flip sound. When the forced ON mode is selected, and when the automatic ON mode is selected and the specific operation mode is not set, a step for generating a flip sound is further performed.

The CPU 1 checks whether or not the sound effect mode is set in the mode setting in order to execute the operation according to the mode setting selected in the flip sound mode setting function (step S430). When the sound effect mode is selected, the user performs a step group S200 shown in FIG. 4 to output user-specified sound effect data.

On the other hand, when a function mode is designated in the mode setting, a step for executing the designated function mode is executed. If one of the alarm functions has been selected as the function mode, FIG.
Are performed in step group S250. When the current time notification function is selected from the information notification functions, the CPU 1 detects the current time by the timer unit 13 and generates current time data for outputting the current time as a flip sound ( Step S450). Alternatively, when the call time notification function is selected, the call time is detected from the timer unit 13 in response to the flip closing operation, and the CPU 1 generates call time data for outputting the call time as a flip sound. (Step S460).

As described above, the data selectively output by the CPU 1 according to the mode setting by the user is as follows:
As in the case of the first embodiment, the signal is transmitted to the audio output unit 6 and a flip sound is generated.

With such a configuration, generation of a flip sound in response to the flip opening operation and the flip closing operation can be performed in accordance with the flip sound mode as shown in FIG. Can do it.

In the first to third embodiments, the configuration in which the present invention is applied to the mobile phone having the flip portion 20 is shown. However, the present invention is applied to a foldable mobile phone 110 as shown in FIG. It can also be applied to FIG. 9 shows the appearance of a two-fold type mobile phone as an example.
