In addition to the normal telephone directory settings, it is possible to perform each setting process for grouping and specifying performance data to be attached.

(5) Other processes: All processes other than the above (1) to (4), which are processes normally performed by a conventional communication device.

Next, these control processes will be described in detail.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the main routine executed by the communication device 1 of the present embodiment, in particular, by the CPU 11. In the main routine, when a power switch (not shown) in the operation switch group 12 is pressed and held for a few seconds, for example, when the power is supplied from the battery (not shown) to the entire apparatus, the activation is started. .

In the figure, first, initialization processing such as clearing of the RAM 14 and various ports is performed (step S1).

Next, an operation input by the operation switch group 12 is monitored, and when an operation input is detected, a general operation and setting change processing subroutine for performing a process corresponding to the input (for details, see FIGS. 4 to 6). Will be described later) (step S2).

Then, a state of incoming communication (a state of receiving a telephone call) is monitored, and when a communication comes in,
After executing a reception confirmation process for sounding a ringing tone (ring tone) (the details of which will be described later with reference to FIG. 8) (step S3), the process returns to step S2, and the above process is repeated.

FIGS. 4 and 5 are flowcharts showing the detailed procedure of the general operation and setting change processing subroutine.

In FIG. 4, first, it is determined whether or not a setting change has been input (step S11). When a setting change has been input, the setting change is performed in the above (1) to (4).
In step S12, S20, or S25, it is determined which of the processes in step S12 is applied. At this time,
If the setting change is for the process (1), the process proceeds from step S12 to S13, and the processes of steps S13 to S19 are performed. If the setting change is for the process (2), The process shifts from step S20 to S21, and the processes of steps S21 to S24 are performed.
If it is for the process of step S25,
The process proceeds to S26 to perform the process of step S26. If the process corresponds to the process (1), the process proceeds to step S26.
The process proceeds from S25 to S27, and the process of step S27 is performed.

In step S13, it is determined whether or not creation of new performance data is selected. If creation of new performance data is selected, in steps S14 to S16, while new performance data is created, new performance data is created. If the creation of performance data is not selected and an instruction to modify the already created performance data is given, in steps S17 to S19, the data selected by the user from the already created performance data is corrected.

The creation of new performance data is specifically performed as follows. That is, first, the microphone 1
7 or input from the external input interface 30,
The digital audio data digitally converted by the A / D converter 18 is recorded, for example, in an input audio recording area secured at a predetermined position in the RAM 14 (step S1).
4). Recording of digital audio data is started, for example, when a predetermined switch of the operation switch group 12 is pressed, and is ended when the switch is pressed again. Next, the recorded input audio data is analyzed to generate event data (note event sequence) (step S15). Here, as the analysis method for analyzing the input voice data, a known method is used as described above. Next, the RA that stores the event data generated in this manner is
An area on M14 is designated, the title of the song is given according to the user's selection, and the data is stored in the designated area as incoming melody song data (step S16).

The modification of the performance data is, specifically,
This is performed as follows. That is, first, all the pieces of the stored music data for the incoming melody are displayed on the display 16 (step S17). Here, the music data is not limited to the performance data newly created by the above method as long as the data can be corrected, and may be any data such as data preset at the time of shipment or data downloaded from a data distribution company. Such a thing may be used. Next, song data corresponding to the song selected by the user from the displayed songs is displayed (step S18). As a display method, for example, the display may be performed in a format according to the display capability of the display device 16, such as a musical score display format or a character name display format in characters. Next, partial (or total) according to the user's correction instruction
And then re-register (step S19). The correction method is, for example, to move the cursor to a target note with an up / down key (not shown), and to use a numeric keypad.
What is necessary is just to change it to a target pitch. Of course, any correction method may be used as long as it can be corrected. The displayed performance data is configured to be reproducible, so that the correction result can be immediately confirmed.

In step S20, it is determined whether or not the setting of the transmission mode has been changed. When the setting of the transmission mode has been changed, the currently set transmission mode is changed to the above (a) to (d). Change the setting to one of the modes (of course, excluding the currently set mode). Specifically, first, on / off setting of the music data transmission is set to any one (step S21). Next, the on / off setting of the mail transmission is set to one of them (step S22). However, when mail transmission is set to ON, a message creation screen is displayed on the display 16 and the user waits for a message to be input on the screen. next,
If the song data transmission is set to ON in step S21, the display and the song data selection screen requesting the user to select the song data to be attached are displayed on the display unit 1.
6 is displayed (step S23). Further, the user (or group) to which the selected music data is to be assigned is set in accordance with the user's instruction (step S24).

In step S20, if the setting of the transmission mode has not been changed, it is determined in step S25 whether or not the setting of the ring tone has been changed. The setting of the transmitted sound is changed to any of the ringtones (a) to (c) (of course, excluding the currently set ringtone) (step S26). The vibration function may be automatically set to ON when the setting is changed without the ringtone in (c). Of course, the ON / OFF setting of the vibration function may be manually performed. Furthermore, a configuration without the vibration function itself may be used.

In step S25, if the ring tone setting has not been changed, it is determined whether or not the telephone directory has been set. If the telephone directory has been set, the telephone directory setting process (for details, see FIG. (Described later with reference to FIG. 6), and if the telephone directory has not been set, other processing is performed (step S27).

In the following step S28 of FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not a ten-key input has been made, and if a ten-key input has been made, the input number is set (step S2).
9). Here, the number setting means, specifically, outputting a DTMF signal sound corresponding to the input number, displaying the input number on the display 16, and further setting an area secured in a predetermined position in the RAM 14. This means each process of temporarily storing.

On the other hand, if there is no input from the numeric key at step S28, it is determined whether or not the call switch has been operated (step S30). If the call switch has been operated, it is determined whether or not the ring tone is sounding. It is determined (step S31).

If it is determined in step S31 that the ringing tone is ringing, the ringing tone is stopped (step S32), and the flow advances to step S34 to shift to the call mode. If the ringing tone is not ringing, the number is set. It is determined whether or not it has been performed (step S33). Here, the number is the telephone number set by the numeric keypad in step S29,
Or, the telephone number of the other party when the telephone directory of the other party is displayed in step S52 described later (however, when the correction is not selected in step S53).

In step S33, when the number is not set, the process proceeds to step S34, and the mode is shifted to the call mode. On the other hand, when the number is set, the mode is shifted to the call mode, and the number corresponding to the set number is set. Then, a DTMF signal tone is output (step S35).

Then, it is determined whether or not the called party is being called (step S36). If the called party is not being called, the general operation and the setting change process are terminated. Transmission mode,
That is, after executing any one of the modes (a) to (d) (step S37), the present general operation and setting change processing ends. For example, when the transmission mode (b) is set, only the performance data is attached to the call signal and transmitted.

On the other hand, if there is no operation of the call switch in step S30, it is determined whether or not the power switch has been operated (step S38). If the power switch has been operated, the call mode is turned off (step S3).
9) If the button is still pressed for a long time (for example, several seconds), the power is turned off (step S40).
→ After S41), the general operation and the setting change processing are ended.

On the other hand, if there is no operation of the power switch in step S38, it is determined whether or not there is any other instruction such as ring tone melody, change of call volume, answering machine, etc. (step S42). When there is no such instruction, the general operation and the setting change process are ended. On the other hand, when there is another instruction, the general operation and the setting change process are ended after performing other settings according to the instruction (step S43).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the telephone directory setting process in step S27. FIG. 7 shows the display 16 by the telephone directory setting process.
FIG. 4A shows an example of the display displayed in FIG. 4A. FIG. 4A shows not only the display 16 but also some switches 12 a to 12 e constituting the operation switch group 12. Note that the telephone directory setting process shown in FIG.
Fired when is pressed.

In FIG. 6, first, the cursor is moved by the cursor movement switch 12d to determine whether or not the other party is selected (step S51). When the other party is selected, that is, when the other party has already been selected. If registered in the telephone directory, the telephone directory of the selected partner is displayed (step S52). FIG. 7B shows a state in which the other party is selected, and FIG. 7C shows a state in which the other party's telephone directory is displayed.

Next, it is determined whether or not the correction is selected by the correction switch 12c (step S53). When the correction is selected, the correction is performed according to the user's correction instruction and the registration is performed again (step S54). When the setting of the telephone directory is completed and the correction is not selected, the setting processing of the telephone directory is terminated without any operation.

In step S51, if the other party is not selected, it is determined whether or not new registration is selected by the new switch 12b (step S55). If new registration is selected, information is entered in a blank telephone directory. After inputting and registering (step S56), the telephone directory setting process is terminated, and when new registration is not selected, 1. Group registration and transmission song setting After setting other information such as the setting of the incoming melody at the time of reception (step S57), the telephone directory setting process ends. FIG. 7D shows a state in which a blank telephone directory is displayed, and FIG. 7E shows a state in which group registration and transmission music are set.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the reception confirmation processing subroutine of step S3 in FIG.

In FIG. 8, when a call is received and a message is received, the received message is stored in a received message storage area secured at a predetermined position in the RAM 14 and displayed on the display screen of the display 16. (Steps S61 → S62 → S63).

Next, when music data is received, the received music data is stored in a received music data storage area secured at a predetermined position in the RAM 14 (step S64 → S).
65).

Next, signals indicating the status of "message reception" and "music data reception" and the setting status of the incoming melody of the own communication device are returned to the communication device on the transmission side (step S66). After the ringtone is sounded according to the content set on the sound setting screen (step S67), the reception confirmation processing ends.

When there is no incoming call, the reception confirmation processing is immediately terminated without any operation. If no message is received even if there is an incoming call, step S
The process skips step 63 and proceeds to step S64. If no music data has been received, step S
The process skips step 65 and proceeds to step S66.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the user analyzes the voice signal input by the singing voice from the microphone 17 or in the performance by the musical sound generator 100, and generates the performance data based on the analysis result. As a result, the performance data for the incoming melody can be easily input. Also, the performance data generated in this way is
Attached to a call signal that calls the other party and transmitted, and the other party's communication device can play back the attached performance data, so that the transmitting user can control the ringing melody of the receiving side, thereby The user on the transmitting side can exert his or her personality on the incoming melody for his or her call. Since the performance data is attached to the call signal, even if the performance data is reproduced, no communication fee is charged, and the performance data can be used for communication for giving a melody.

When a part of the fetched performance data cannot be reproduced, only the remaining part except for the part may be reproduced. You may make it reproduce | regenerate.

The captured performance data itself or the corrected performance data may be reattached and transferred to another communication device. Further, the captured performance data may be reproduced in synchronization with a predetermined operation even during a period other than transmitting and receiving the call signal. Furthermore, if the playback time of the captured performance data is short,
What is necessary is just to make it reproduce repeatedly.
