The image is stored in the storage unit 6 as necessary and displayed on the display unit 5.
[0021]
Specifically, the communication unit 3 performs data communication (non-voice communication) and voice communication such as facsimile communication, file transfer, and e-mail. Here, although wireless is used as each communication medium, wired communication can also be used. In voice communication by the communication unit 3, an answering machine function that automatically responds to an incoming voice call instead of the person can be set. With this answering machine function, a message is sent for an incoming voice call, Perform functions such as receiving and recording messages from the other party. The answering machine function is executed by the answering machine function unit 7. The setting of the answering machine function can be set by pressing a predetermined key provided in the operation unit 1 and can be arbitrarily operated in a selected time zone. It is possible to set.
[0022]
The display unit 5 displays a photographed image, an image stored in the storage unit 6, a menu screen for setting each function, and the like. The operation unit 1 is provided with various keys such as a key used for setting other functions as well as a key used for setting the answering machine function described above, a numeric keypad, and the key signal of the pressed key is input to the control unit 4. Is done.
[0023]
The control unit 4 sets various functions based on the input key signal, controls the above-described blocks, and the like. This control procedure is executed according to a control program stored in the storage unit 6.
[0024]
As described above, the storage unit 6 is provided with a storage area for captured images and the like, a storage area for control programs, a data area for holding a set mode updatable, and the like. This control program includes a program for performing control related to voice communication. This program determines whether or not there is an incoming voice call while the image capturing unit 2 is performing image capturing, and performs voice capturing while performing this image capturing.

Registration is performed by key operation of the operation unit 1.
[0025]
Next, a processing procedure when there is an incoming call to the communication unit 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure at the time of an incoming call in the composite information apparatus of FIG.
[0026]
The communication unit 3 is normally in a standby state for periodically monitoring the arrival of an incoming signal, and when the incoming signal arrives, the processing shown in FIG. 2 is started. In this process, first, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the communication is data communication based on the incoming signal. When this communication is data communication, the process proceeds to step S12 to execute data communication, and then proceeds to step S13 to perform incoming call display processing. In this incoming call display process, a specific icon indicating that data communication has been automatically executed for an incoming call or a character string indicating that is displayed on the display unit 5. Then, this process ends.
[0027]
When this communication is not data communication, that is, voice communication, the process proceeds to step S2, where it is determined whether the answering machine mode is set with reference to the data area of the storage unit 6, and the answering machine mode is set. If yes, the process proceeds to step S11 to execute the answering machine function, and then proceeds to step S13 to display a specific icon indicating that the answering machine function has been automatically executed for the incoming call by the incoming call display process or to that effect. A character string to be displayed is displayed on the display unit 5. Then, this process ends.
[0028]
If it is determined in step S2 that the answering machine mode is not set, the process proceeds to step S3, and it is determined whether or not an operation for capturing an image with the camera of the imaging unit 2 is being performed. If the camera is not being operated, the process proceeds to step S8 to make a telephone call by sounding a ringtone or vibrating the main body, and then proceed to step S9 to execute a telephone function. In step S10, the end of the telephone function, that is, the end of the call is awaited. When the call ends, this process ends. On the other hand, when the camera is being operated, the process proceeds to step S4 to determine whether or not the automatic switching mode for automatically operating the answering machine function is set with reference to the data area of the storage unit 6. . When the automatic switching mode is not set, the steps S8, S9, and S10 are sequentially executed in the same manner as when the camera is not being operated, and this process is terminated. When the automatic switching mode is set, the process proceeds to step S5, where the caller telephone number is acquired, and in the subsequent step S6, the acquired caller telephone number automatically activates the specific telephone number, that is, the answering machine function. In order to check whether or not it is a specific partner to be prevented from being searched, the telephone directory held in the storage unit 6 is searched, and in step S7, whether the caller telephone number is a specific telephone number, that is, the caller is specified. It is determined whether or not the other party.
[0029]
When the sender is a specific partner, the steps S8, S9, and S10 are sequentially executed in the same manner as when the camera is not being operated, and this process is terminated. On the other hand, when the caller is not a specific partner, the process proceeds to step S11 to execute the answering machine function, and then proceeds to step S13 to automatically execute the answering machine function for the incoming call by the incoming call display process. A specific icon indicating this or a character string indicating that is displayed on the display unit 5. Then, this process ends.
[0030]
As described above, in this embodiment, when the image pickup unit 2 determines whether or not there is an incoming voice call while performing image shooting, and there is an incoming voice call while executing this image shooting, Since the answering machine function is automatically activated, if there is an incoming voice call during camera operation that cannot immediately answer the incoming voice call, the answering machine function will answer the incoming voice call without interrupting the image shooting. You can respond and listen to the message from the other party after this shooting. Further, if the caller is a specific partner, the telephone call is performed without setting the answering machine function, so that a call with the specific partner can be reliably performed.
[0031]
In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the answering machine function is automatically activated during image shooting. However, the answering machine function is automatically activated during infrared data transfer, driving a car, and the like. It can also be configured. Even in this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.
