Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an automatic answering control of a cellular phone.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Recent mobile phones have an answering / recording function that automatically responds to incoming calls when a user is unable to answer the call, sends a response message to the other party, and then records the other party's voice. There are many that are doing. In addition, the response message sent to the other party during the absence response can be recorded in advance according to the usage situation such as during a meeting or during a class, or can be recorded by the user himself / herself. .
In order to enable these answering functions, it is necessary for the user to set the answering mode in advance before receiving a call and to select an appropriate response message to be sent to the other party in advance. . Also, a similar answering response operation can be realized by operating the mobile phone during an incoming call.
When the mobile phone body cannot be operated, for example, when there is an incoming call when the phone is put in a bag and cannot be taken out, it can be remotely controlled from a communication device having a wireless device. A device in which a mobile phone main body automatically responds by performing an operation is also known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-200353).
In any of the above cases, the user can set the answering machine by setting or canceling the answering machine by operating the phone body or peripheral device, so that the "meeting" message during the meeting and the "in class" message during the class. I was able to tell the other party of my situation accurately and encourage recording.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of the conventional example, in order for the mobile phone to perform an answering operation, it is necessary for the user to set an answering response by operating the telephone or peripheral device before or during the incoming call.
Also, the response message sent to the other party had to be reset when the usage scene changed. For example, an answering response had to be set in the “meeting” response message during a meeting in a conference room and an “in class” response message during a class in the classroom. After that, when the meeting or class ended, the absence response operation was canceled again so that the incoming call could be answered. Also, after the meeting in the conference room was over, it was necessary to change the response message to “in class” when the class was in class.
In addition, even if you set the answering operation during the conference, if there are multiple incoming calls, the recording area will be lost, and the absence recording will be automatically canceled. There was a case where the sound rang and troubled the surroundings.
As described above, since the mobile phone moves due to the nature of the user, the user must check and set the setting state each time according to various places and situations. It was.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a positional relationship with the base station due to the movement of the mobile phone.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the base station ID registration operation in the cellular phone with an absence response function of the present invention.
8-11 is a figure which shows the example of information stored in the memory | storage part 12 in connection with it in the case of base station ID registration.
First, the base station ID registration process of the mobile phone of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, the user (mobile phone) moves to the base station A, which is the conference room shown in FIG. Here, the base station registration operation is started by the user operation using the key input unit 11 (step S101). At this time, if there is a base station currently waiting, the base station ID is acquired, and if not, the registration operation is terminated (step S102). When there is a waiting base station (base station A), its ID and OGM type are registered in the storage unit 12 (step S103). If the base station A is a conference room, the in-conference OGM is registered. Thereafter, the user moves to the base station B, which is a classroom, and performs the same operation as described above to register the OGM for use in class. FIG. 8 shows information stored in the storage unit 12 at this time, and the base station ID and the associated OGM are registered.
Further, the storage unit 12 may be configured to register an operation after a response as shown in FIG. 9 or an operation when there is no recording area for absence recording as shown in FIG. . Furthermore, when the base station ID is acquired, the reception level may also be acquired and stored as information as shown in FIG.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a first embodiment of the operation procedure of the cellular phone with an absence response function of the present invention.
Here, it is assumed that the information illustrated in FIG. 8 is already stored in the storage unit 12 of the mobile phone according to the registration operation flowchart illustrated in FIG. 3.
[0011]
First, the operation when an incoming call is received at the base station A in FIG. 2 will be described.
When there is an incoming call to the mobile phone, an incoming call signal is transmitted from the base station A, and the incoming call is detected by the antenna 2 and the wireless transmission / reception unit 3 (step S201). The station ID is recognized (step S202). The recognized ID is compared with the base station ID set in the storage unit 12 (step S203). When the ID matches that of the base station A, the answering machine is set in accordance with the setting stored in association with the base station A in setting a. Is started (step S204). Here, since the OGM information set in the storage unit 12 is the OGM for in-conference, the OGM for in-conference is reproduced by the OGM storage / reproduction unit 8 and sent to the other party via the antenna 2 (step S205). . When the OGM transmission is completed, the other party's voice is recorded by the ICM storage / playback unit 9 (step S206). Thereafter, when the recording is completed, the communication is disconnected (step S213).
[0012]
Next, the operation when the base station B receives an incoming call will be described.
When there is an incoming call in the base station B area, the incoming call is detected and the base station ID is recognized and compared as in the case of the base station A. Here, if it matches the ID of the base station B, the absence response is started in accordance with the setting contents related to the base station B stored in the setting b, and the OGM for storage class is played back by the OGM storage playback unit 8, The data is sent to the other party via the antenna 2, and then a recording operation is performed (steps S207 to S209).
[0013]
Furthermore, the operation when an incoming call is received at the base station C will be described.
When there is an incoming call in the base station C area, the incoming call is detected, the base station ID is recognized and compared. Here, since the base station C is not stored in the storage unit 12, the answering operation is not performed, and the incoming call ringing device 10 outputs a ringing tone and shifts to the incoming call state (step S210). In this state, pressing the call key of the key input unit 11 shifts to a call state (steps S211 to S212).
[0014]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a second embodiment of the operation procedure of the cellular phone with an absence answering function according to the present invention.
Here, it is assumed that the information shown in FIG. 9 is already stored in the storage unit 12 by the registration operation shown in FIG.
When there is an incoming call to the mobile phone, the incoming call is detected and the base station ID is recognized and compared as in the first embodiment (steps S301 to S303). At this time, since the setting a of the storage unit 12 can be recorded in the base station A area, an answering response is started according to the set content, and the OGM storage / playback unit 8 plays back the OGM for the meeting via the antenna 2. The call is sent to the other party, the voice of the other party is recorded by the ICM storage / reproducing unit 9, and the communication is disconnected (steps S304 to S307, S311).
However, in the base station B area, after the absence response is started and the OGM for lesson is sent out, the setting b of the storage unit 12 cannot be recorded, so the recording operation by the ICM storage / reproducing unit 9 is not performed and the communication is disconnected. (Steps S304 to S307, S311).
Further, when there is an incoming call in the base station C area, the same operation process as in steps S210 to S212 in the first embodiment is performed (steps S308 to S310).
[0015]
FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing a third embodiment of the operation of the mobile phone with an absence response function of the present invention.
Here, it is assumed that the user (mobile phone) already stores the information of FIG. 10 in the storage unit 12 in the base station A area shown in FIG. 2 by the registration operation shown in FIG.
When there is an incoming call to the mobile phone, the incoming call is detected, the base station ID is confirmed and compared as in the first embodiment (steps S401 to S403). At this time, in the base station A area, the setting a which is information on the base station A is referred to from the storage unit 12. Here, the presence / absence of a recording area is determined (step S404). If there is a recording area, operations similar to those in steps S204 to S206 in the first embodiment are performed (steps S405 to S407). However, if there is no recording area, the operation without the recording area of the setting a of the storage unit 12 is performed. In this case, since it is stored that the OGM for the conference is disconnected after being sent, the operation as set is performed (steps S408 to S409, S413).
[0016]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a fourth embodiment of the operation of the cellular phone with an absence response function of the present invention.
Here, it is assumed that the user (mobile phone) has already stored the information of FIG. 11 in the storage unit 12 in the base station A area shown in FIG. 2 by the registration operation shown in FIG.
When there is an incoming call to the mobile phone, the incoming call is similarly detected, and the base station ID is recognized and compared (steps S501 to S503). At this time, in the base station A area, the setting a which is information related to the base station A is referred to from the storage unit 12. Here, since “40 dB” is stored as the reception level information (threshold value), it is compared with the current reception level (step S504). If the reception level is 40 dB or more, the incoming place is regarded as a conference room, an answering response operation is started, OGM transmission and ICM recording are performed (steps S505 to S507). However, if it is less than 40 dB, it is determined that it is not a conference room but its surroundings, and a normal incoming call state is entered (step S508).
Although not shown here, a plurality of combinations of base station IDs and threshold values can be associated.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, by registering the response message and the base station ID in advance, the incoming call within a specific base station area can be performed without any user operation. It is possible to automatically reply with a specified response message.
[0018]
Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to specify whether to perform voice recording of the other party after answering an answer, or to perform a disconnection operation without performing a recording operation after sending a response message.
[0019]
In addition, according to the present invention, when there is no recording area for absence recording, the recording operation cannot be performed. Therefore, in order to avoid the inconvenience that the absence of the absence usually occurs, the operation without the recording area is also registered at the same time. Thus, when there is a region, an absence recording operation can be performed, and when there is no region, an operation such as disconnection can be designated and performed without continuation of the incoming call or recording after the absence response.
[0020]
And, according to the present invention, even when you are in the vicinity of the registered area, the base station may wait in the same way and make an absence response. By using it as a threshold value, the accuracy of the response operation can be improved.
Further, the accuracy can be further improved by associating a plurality of combinations of the base station ID and the threshold value.
