Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable wireless device, and more particularly to a portable wireless device with a push button dial.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a portable wireless device is constructed so that when its own station is called, a ringing tone sounds at the same time that a display is turned on or blinks. This ring is typically a single tone of 1800-2400 Hz or a low group signal of 697-941 Hz and 1209-163.
Dual tone (DT) by combination of 3Hz high group signal
(MA signal) is used and is fixed to either of them in a system unit. In addition, the portable wireless device is equipped with a push button dial (keypad) so that the calling number of the communication partner can be keyed in.

[0003]

When a plurality of people near each other carry and use such a portable wireless device, it is possible to distinguish which portable wireless device is called when the ringing tone sounds. Since there is no call, there is a drawback that a call to another person is mistakenly regarded as a call to oneself and a response is made. In addition, even if there is a function of reducing the volume when the user is in a quiet place such as a library or a conference room, the pitch of the sound passing around cannot be changed, and moreover, there are the above-mentioned drawbacks. On the other hand, when you are in a place where the surrounding noise is loud, there is a limit even if you raise the volume, and the pitch of the ringing tone (frequency)
Then it may be difficult to hear.

An object of the present invention is to prevent the ringing sound from being heard with other portable wireless devices as described above, and to reduce the annoyance of the ringing sound to others depending on the surrounding conditions and the degree of noise. It is to provide a portable wireless device that can.

[0005]

The portable wireless device of the present invention comprises:
A portable wireless device comprising a push-button dial, a shift key for selecting an operation mode, and a CPU for controlling the operation of the entire wireless device and taking in a ringing tone signal from an audio signal processor to ring a speaker when an incoming call is received. A number key of the push button dial is associated with the scale, the audio signal processor is provided with a sound source signal generator for generating a sound source of the scale, and the shift key is provided with an editor mode, an end mode, and a ringing tone selection mode, The CPU is provided with a RAM for storing a unique ringing melody, and the CPU sets the shift key to the editor mode to key in the unique ringing melody from the push button dial, and when the shift key is set to the end mode, the audio signal is output. Keyed in from the source signal generator of the processor When the incoming call is received with the original ringing melody being specified by the shift key ringing tone selection mode, it is specified from the RAM The above-mentioned unique ringing tone melody is read and the speaker is caused to ring.

Further, the number key and the symbol key of the push button dial are described in correspondence with the scale, the long sound symbol, the accidental symbol and the rest mark, and the shift key is described in the editor mode, the end mode, the ring tone selection mode, the octave up mode, An octave lowering mode is provided, and when the shift key is set to the editor mode and the original ring tone melody is keyed in from the push button dial, key input is performed in eighth notes as a unit, and in the case of long sound and accidental. Is characterized by pressing the note key while pressing the chord key and the accidental key to input a unique ringing melody.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of essential parts showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a push button dial (key pad), 2 and 3 are clock generators, 4 is a CPU (central processing unit), and 5 is an audio signal processor (AS).
P), 6 is a random access memory (RAM), 7 is a speaker (sounder), 8 is a shift key, 9 is a wireless circuit,
Reference numeral 10 is a display. The CPU 4 and the ASP 5 operate according to the clocks from the clock generators 2 and 3, respectively.
The ASP 5 includes a dual tone signal generator and a scale tone source signal generator of, for example, a synthesizer system.

The number keys 1 to 0 of the keypad 1 and the symbol keys * and # of the scales such as C, D, E, F, G, A,
The seven tones of B (do, re, ...) and the accidental symbols ♭ and # are associated and written on each key. S is a space (rest),
L is a long sign. Each time the shift key 8 is sequentially pressed, the control operation mode by the CPU 4 changes, and a total of ten or more modes can be set. Each time the shift key 8 is pressed, the mode type is displayed on the display device 10. For the mode setting by the shift key 8, for example, an editor mode is provided next to a plurality of modes used in normal communication of a wireless device, and in the editor mode, a key input from the keypad 1 produces a sound corresponding to a number. Is entered.
The input unit is, for example, an eighth note, and when making a continuous note, the long note key "L" is pressed while inputting. If the accidental symbol is ♭ or #, press the ♭ or # key while inputting. By such an operation, it is possible to input a user's favorite melody (melody) or an original ringing melody in which the pitch, sequence, and length of notes are freely created. When the key input is completed, the shift key 8 is pressed to enter the end mode. At the same time, the CPU 4 takes in the sound source signal of the key input note from the scale sound source signal generator of the ASP 5, arranges the timing, and stores it in the RAM 6 as a series of unique ringing melody. To use the original ringing melody stored in the RAM 6 by key input, use the shift key 8
You can specify with. When the ID (individual) number of the own station is detected from the signal received by the radio circuit 9, when the incoming call is C
Since the PU 4 reads out the unique ringing melody stored in the RAM 6 and gives it to the speaker 7, the carrier can immediately recognize that it is a call to the own station by listening to the melody created by himself.

It goes without saying that the range of the scale corresponding to each number of the keypad 1 can be set other than the embodiment of FIG. Further, since ♭ and # corresponding to * and # are symbols for changing a semitone, only one of them may be used. Furthermore, the shift key 8 can be provided with a mode for raising (decreasing) octave or lowering (dividing) the ringing tone read from the RAM 6.

[0010]

As described above, by carrying out the present invention, the user of the portable wireless device can create and set the ringing tone independently, so that the ringing tone is not mixed with other stations. You can In addition, since the pitch can be raised or lowered by an octave, it is possible to reduce annoyance to the surroundings due to the ringing sound. From the above advantages, the usability of the portable wireless device is improved and the practical effect is great.
