DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile communication device for controlling an incoming call while moving, which is difficult for a user to operate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, mobile communication devices such as wireless telephones have become widespread and widely used. By the way, the mobile communication device has an advantage of being able to make and receive calls even when moving, but there are also unfavorable situations such as a situation where the driver makes and receives calls while moving by car.

On the other hand, there has been proposed a mobile communication incoming call control system in which incoming call control is performed without operation of the called party in a driving situation where the incoming call answering operation of the user is unfavorable or impossible. The mobile communication incoming call control system disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-216221 is provided with a speed sensor installed in an automobile, and determines whether the incoming call can be answered or not according to the traveling speed from the sensor. Transmits a call response hold signal from the mobile station to the radio base station,
A technique of suspending communication in the wireless base station is disclosed.

[0004]

However, according to the conventional mobile communication termination control system, there is a problem that the movement detection device needs to be installed in a car, so that it can be used only in a specific vehicle. In addition, since the incoming call is automatically held in the wireless base station, there is a problem that the owner of the mobile station cannot recognize the incoming call at the time of the incoming call even if the owner can know later. Alternatively, since an operation for releasing the hold is required, there is a problem that, for example, if the operation is continued, the hold cannot be supported.

[0005] In addition, there is another problem that the handling is complicated for the user because the detection device and the mobile station need to be connected. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a mobile communication device that can reliably and safely notify an incoming call response during movement without requiring user operation.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a mobile communication apparatus according to the present invention comprises a setting means for setting a set value indicating whether or not to perform a predetermined incoming call processing by a user operation; Detection means for detecting whether or not the communication device is moving; and, when there is an incoming call, the setting value indicates that incoming processing is to be performed, and when it is detected that the communication device is moving, a ringer output is output. Prohibition means for prohibition, notification means for connecting a wireless line after prohibition and notifying a caller of a predetermined message, disconnection means for disconnecting the wireless line after notification, and notifying the user that the incoming call processing has been performed after disconnection. Notification means.

Further, the mobile communication device further includes comment recording means for recording a comment input from a caller after notification by the notification means, the disconnection means disconnects after recording the comment, and the notification means further records. It may be configured to notify the comment that has been made.

[0008]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a mobile communication device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mobile communication device includes a movement detection switching unit 11, a movement detection unit 12, a message generation unit 13, a comment recording unit 14, an incoming call response notification unit 15, a controller 16, an RF unit 17, and an antenna 1
8 and is configured to perform incoming call processing in conjunction with movement detection.

The movement detection switching section 11 sets a set value indicating whether or not to perform the incoming call processing in conjunction with the movement detection in accordance with the operation of the user, and determines whether or not to perform the incoming call processing, that is, the operation of the controller 16. Switch. If the set value is on, the incoming call processing is made valid. If the set value is off, a normal incoming call operation is performed. The movement detection unit 12 detects whether the mobile communication device is moving. Specifically, GPS (Global
Positioning system) to detect movement, or received signal strength (RSSI: Recieved Signal Stren)
gth Indicator) by a method of detecting a change in the signal. Detection with GPS is desirable in terms of high accuracy, and detection with reception electric field strength is also useful in terms of low cost.

[0010] In the incoming call processing linked with the movement detection, the message generator 13 automatically goes off-hook,
To the caller, for example, "I'm on the move and will call back later. Please enter your phone number with a button."
And so on. The comment recording unit 14
After the message is generated by the message generator 13, a comment from the sender is recorded. More specifically, a caller inputs a telephone number using a push button, and records a combination of push button signals.

Immediately after a message is generated or a comment is recorded and on-hook is performed, the incoming call response notifying unit 15 notifies the user that incoming processing has been performed. For example, a notification such as "The telephone number has been received. The telephone number is xxx ..." is issued. The controller 16 includes the movement detection switching unit 1
If the set value of 1 is on, the incoming call process is performed in conjunction with the movement detection, and if it is off, a normal incoming call operation is performed.

The RF unit 17 performs wireless transmission and reception via an antenna 18. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the incoming call processing and normal processing of the mobile communication device under the control of the controller 16. The controller 16
When the incoming call is received (step 21), if the set value of the movement detection switching unit 11 is off (step 22), a ringer sound is emitted (step 30) and a normal call process is performed (step 31). Also, even if the set value is on (step 2
2) If the movement detection unit 12 detects that the user is not moving (step 23: No), the normal call processing is performed.

Further, the controller 16 detects that the setting value of the movement detection switching unit 11 is ON (step 22) at the time of an incoming call (step 22) and that the movement detection unit 12 is moving (step 23). : Yes), the ringer sound is prohibited from sounding, the line is connected (off-hook) (steps 24 and 25), the message is transmitted by the message generator 13 to the sender (step 26), and the comment from the sender is entered. If received, it is recorded in the comment recording unit 14 (step 27), and the line is temporarily disconnected (step 28). Since the processing up to this point is performed without notifying the user, there is no need for the driving user to perform any corresponding operation, and the driver's attention is not lost.

Further, immediately after the off-hook, the controller 1
6 informs the user that the incoming call has been answered (step 2).
9). As a result, the user recognizes that the incoming call response has been made, so that appropriate measures can be taken. If a comment has been input, it is possible to take a measure corresponding to the sender. Note that the mobile communication device of the above embodiment is a mobile phone, a PHS (Personal Handy phone).
System).

The movement detection method by the movement detection unit 12 may be configured to be performed using an element for detecting speed or acceleration. The comment recording unit 14 may record not only push button signals but also audio. Further, in step 27, if there is no comment input for a predetermined time, off-hook may be performed without recording a comment (step 28).

In the case where the comment recording section 14 is not provided, off-hook may be performed immediately after the message is sent (step 26) (step 28).
