Definitions

  • the present invention relates to mobile communication devices. It particularly relates to muting incoming calls to said mobile communication devices.
  • Incoming calls in currently used mobile communication devices are notified to a user by ringer and/or vibration options. If the user is convenient to have a phone talk, he/she accepts the incoming call and starts the talk. And if the user is in an inconvenient circumstance, such as in a noisy environment, or in a meeting, for instance, he/she may become obliged to switch the phone off or reject the incoming call to not to disturb the others. The user can reject an incoming call also upon his/her personal preference, of course.
  • the present invention relates to a novel incoming call handling method eliminating the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the objective of the present invention is to provide a phone user with the opportunity of switching off his/her phone's audible a nd/or v ibration signals a ny desired moment without having to reject an incoming call, when such a call is received and he/she is warned by said audible and/or vibration signals.
  • the present invention provides a mobile communication device, having essentially a transceiver, a processor, a display, a key pad, and noticing means, which is characterized in that
  • said processor inactivates said noticing means for muting said phone without hanging up the call;
  • said processor causes a noticing interface for allowing a user to accept or reject an incoming call to b e displayed on said display, whenever said mobile communication device is called.
  • said processor inactivates said noticing means, and when the user depresses the same key the second time, the incoming call is rejected.
  • said menu structure comprises a menu element for allowing said processor to operate accordingly.
  • said processor automatically inactivates said noticing means for all calls received by said mobile communication device in a user-predetermined time interval and said menu structure comprises a menu element for allowing said processor to operate accordingly.
  • said noticing means is audio or vibration based.
  • said mobile communication device is a mobile phone.
  • Figures 1a and 1 b illustrate the steps where a user realizes a preferred application of muting incoming calls according to the present invention.
  • said mobile phone comprises a main body (1 ); a display (2) and a key pad (3) within said body (1) for allowing a user to enter information to said mobile phone.
  • This mobile phone comprises further a processor and noticing means not illustrated in these figures.
  • the processor performs (with the help of peripheral units, if necessary) the function of muting incoming calls according to the present invention as detailed hereunder.
  • said noticing means it notifies a user by means of sound, light or vibration, in circumstances such as receipt of a message, an incoming call, alarm, etc., requiring to notify the user
  • the mobile phone disclosed herein does not constitute a restrictive example i n a ny way.
  • This mobile phone can comprise other units except those mentioned above and the subject function is applicable to such phone as well.
  • the phone's processor causes a query interface to be displayed on the display when a call is received.
  • An "accept” option and a “mute” option are provided here for allowing the user to accept and mute an incoming call, respectively.
  • the keys corresponding to these options are defined beforehand in the processor.
  • the user depresses the "YES" key to a ccept a call and depresses the "NO" key once to mute the call, i.e. to inactivate the noticing means.
  • the phone notifies the user with sound, the sound will be muted, if it notifies the user with vibration, vibration will be stopped, and if it notifies with both sound and vibration, both will be deactivated.
  • the processor leaves unchanged the "accept” option, but replaces the "mute” option with "reject” option on the display by means of a software comprised in said processor, as seen in Figure 1b. If the user desires to reject the incoming call at this point, he/she depresses the "NO" key in the key pad the second time.
  • the keys or key combinations to accept, mute, or reject incoming calls may differ from those disclosed herein.
  • the feature of muting incoming calls according to the present invention can be m ade more functional.

  • a person A for instance, shall attend a significant meeting between 16:00 and 17:00 on February 15, 2003, and does not want to be disturbed during this meeting. In this instance, said person sets this date and hour data in his/her phone right after this appointment is notified to him/her. And when this person attends the meeting, his/her phone is already muted to incoming calls without having to reject them.
  • the present invention cannot be restricted with the foregoing disclosures. It is obvious that a person skilled in the art can easily realize the present invention of mobile communication device capable to mute incoming calls with elements differing only in technical details from the elements disclosed here above.

Abstract

L'invention concerne essentiellement un dispositif de communication mobile possédant un émetteur-récepteur, un processeur, un dispositif d'affichage (2), un clavier numérique (3) et un moyen d'avertissement. Lorsque ce dispositif de communication mobile est appelé et que l'appel entrant est notifié à un utilisateur grâce au moyen d'avertissement, le processeur désactive le moyen d'avertissement pour régler le dispositif en mode silencieux sans raccrocher. Ce dispositif comprend également une structure de menu permettant que l'utilisateur transmette au processeur la commande de désactiver le moyen d'avertissement de la manière expliquée ci-dessus.
