Description

  The present invention relates to a portable terminal that can use two or more pieces of identification information necessary for mobile communication.

  Some portable terminals having a telephone function, such as recent cellular phones and PHS (Personal Handy-phone System) machines, can handle two or more pieces of identification information (such as telephone numbers). According to this type of portable terminal, for example, the user can use two or more telephone numbers on one terminal, which is very convenient.

  For example, in a portable terminal that can use data stored in a UIM card by mounting an IC card (hereinafter referred to as UIM card) such as a UIM (User Identity Module) card or a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. Recently, there are those that can use two UIM cards (see, for example, Patent Document 1) and those that can use one UIM card that stores data related to two telephone numbers. The data stored in the UIM card generally includes unique identification information such as telephone number information (MSISDN: Mobile Subscriber ISDN Number) and subscriber identifier information (IMSI: International Mobile Subscriber Identity).

  Generally, IMSI is not explicitly disclosed to users and mobile communication networks, and users mainly identify contracted lines by telephone numbers. For this reason, when using this type of mobile terminal, the user performs operations such as making a call and answering a call by recognizing which telephone number is currently used.

  However, in the conventional technique of handling two or more pieces of identification information with a single terminal, the user recognizes information on the currently used telephone number mainly from an image displayed on the display unit. For this reason, the conventional technique largely depends on the attention of the user in determining which telephone number to use. Therefore, with the conventional technology, it is difficult to reliably prevent an incoming call response, an outgoing call, and other operations from being performed using a telephone number that is not intended by the user.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and is a portable terminal that can use two or more telephone numbers with one terminal, and reliably prevents an operation using an unintended telephone number by a user. An object is to provide a portable terminal that can use two or more telephone numbers with one terminal.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the mobile terminal according to the present invention is a mobile terminal that uses two telephone numbers, and a first display unit that displays an image in which the first telephone number is specified; A second display unit for displaying an image in which a second telephone number is specified; a first input unit for receiving a calling instruction and an incoming call response instruction for the first telephone number; and the second telephone number. A second input unit that accepts a call instruction and an incoming call response instruction, and when there is an incoming call for the first telephone number, the first display unit displays the fact and the second input unit While the incoming call response instruction is rejected, if there is an incoming call for the second telephone number, the fact is displayed on the second display section and the incoming call response instruction is sent via the first input section. An incoming call operation control unit for rejecting It is intended to.

  The portable terminal according to the present invention is a portable terminal that can use two or more telephone numbers with one terminal, and can reliably prevent an operation using an unintended telephone number by a user.

  Embodiments of a portable terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  The present invention can be applied to a portable terminal that can use identification information necessary for establishing two or more calls with one terminal. Here, the identification information for establishing a call is a call (in addition to a voice call). For example, telephone number information (MSISDN), subscriber identifier information (IMSI), information generated based on IMSI (TMSI: Temporary Mobile Subscriber) Identity). In the following description, as an example of the portable terminal according to the present invention, two telephones having a first telephone number a (for example, 090-aaaa-aaaa) and a second telephone number b (for example, 080-bbbb-bbbb). A foldable mobile phone that can use numbers will be described.

  FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing a first embodiment of a portable terminal according to the present invention. The present invention can be applied to a portable terminal that can use identification information necessary for establishing two or more calls with one terminal. In this embodiment, as an example of the portable terminal according to the present invention, two telephones having a first telephone number a (for example, 090-aaaa-aaaa) and a second telephone number b (for example, 080-bbbb-bbbb) are provided. A foldable mobile phone that can use numbers will be described.

  Here, the identification information for establishing a call refers to information necessary for establishing a call (including a voice call as well as a videophone call), for example, telephone number information (MSISDN), subscriber identifier information. (IMSI), information generated based on IMSI (TMSI: Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity), and the like. In the following description, an example in which identification information is represented by a telephone number will be described.

  FIG. 1A is a perspective view when the mobile phone 10 is open (open state), and FIG. 1B is a perspective view when the mobile phone 10 is closed (closed state).

  In this embodiment, various operations such as an incoming call response and a call regarding the first telephone number a are performed in the open state as the first state, and the second telephone number b in the closed state as the second state. An example in which various operations such as an incoming call response and an outgoing call are performed will be described. The first state refers to all states that are not the second state (closed state).

  In the following description, a call means a call request transmission such as a voice call request transmission or a videophone call request transmission, and an incoming call means a call request reception such as a voice call request reception or a videophone call request reception. The incoming and outgoing calls refer to outgoing calls and incoming call responses. For example, when there is an incoming call containing a voice call request incoming to the mobile phone 10, the user gives an incoming call response instruction to the mobile phone 10 by pressing an incoming call response key. Upon receiving this instruction, the mobile phone 10 establishes a voice call with the voice call request destination.

  The cellular phone 10 includes a first casing 11, a second casing 12, and a connecting portion 13 that connects the first casing 11 to the second casing 12 so as to be freely opened and closed.

  The second casing 12 is connected to the first casing 11 via a connecting portion 13 (hinge) so as to be openable and closable in the direction of the arrow X around the opening / closing axis. When the second casing 12 rotates about the opening / closing axis in the direction of the arrow X, the mobile phone 10 is in the open state (see FIG. 1 (a)) as the first state and the second state as the second state. Positioning can be performed in the closed state (see FIG. 1B).

  The first housing 11 has a thin box-shaped housing. As shown in FIG. 1A, among the surfaces constituting the first housing 11, the surface 14 (first surface) that is in close proximity to the second housing 12 in the closed state has the first A touch panel 15a, a first microphone 16a, and a first receiver 17a are provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, a second touch panel 15b, a second microphone 16b, and a second receiver 17b are provided on a surface 18 (second surface) which is the back surface of the first surface 14. Provided.

  The second housing 12 has a thin box-shaped housing, and in a closed state, a surface 19 (third surface) that is in close proximity to the first surface 14 of the first housing 11 has a third surface. A hard key group 20 is provided as an input unit. The hard key group 20 includes, for example, English / Kana / Kanji / numeric input keys (ten keys).

  The state detection unit for detecting the open / closed state of the mobile phone 10 may be any unit that outputs differently between the closed state and the open state. In FIG. 1, a magnetic piece 21 is provided at a predetermined position near the inside of the first surface 14, and a state detection unit is located near the inside of the second surface 18 and opposed to the magnetic piece 21 in the closed state. An example in which the magnetic sensor 22 is provided is shown. In this case, the magnetic sensor 22 outputs according to the distance from the magnetic piece 21. Therefore, the open / closed state can be detected by monitoring this output. The magnetic sensor 22 can be configured using, for example, a reed switch or a Hall element.

  The magnetic sensor 22 is in the first state when the first housing 11 is opened with respect to the second housing 12 and the first surface 14 and the third surface 19 are separated by a predetermined distance or more. While outputting the signal to the effect, the first surface 14 and the third surface 19 may be configured to output the signal indicating the second state when the first surface 14 and the third surface 19 are closed closer to each other than a predetermined distance. .

  As apparent from FIGS. 1A and 1B, the user normally uses the first touch panel 15a, the first microphone 16a, the first receiver 17a, and the hard key group 20 in the open state, and is in the closed state. Then, the second touch panel 15b, the second microphone 16b, and the second receiver 17b are used.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing an internal configuration example of the mobile phone 10.

  The mobile phone 10 includes a card slot 30, a mobile communication antenna 33, a mobile communication unit 34, a short-range communication antenna 35, a short-range communication unit 36, and a main control unit 37.

  The card slot 30 is loaded with one UIM card in which data relating to the telephone number a and the telephone number b is stored. The main control unit 37 uses data relating to the two telephone numbers a and b stored in the UIM card installed in the card slot 30.

  The card slot 30 may be configured so that two UIM cards can be mounted. In this case, by attaching one UIM card storing data related to the telephone number a and one UIM card storing data related to the telephone number b to the card slot 30, the main control unit 37. Makes two telephone numbers a and b available. Further, when the data regarding the two telephone numbers a and b are stored in advance in the storage medium of the main control unit 37 at the time of factory shipment, the card slot 30 may not be provided.

  When using the mobile phone 10 configured to be able to use the two telephone numbers a and b, the user needs to be careful not to perform various operations using a telephone number that is not intended by the user. In particular, if an incoming call response instruction operation and an outgoing call instruction operation (hereinafter referred to as incoming / outgoing call operation) are performed using an unintended telephone number, a great inconvenience is often caused to the user.

  This is particularly noticeable when a user who uses two telephone numbers a and b on one mobile phone 10 uses different usages for work, private use, etc. for each telephone number. For example, if a private phone number is accidentally used for a person who does not want to notify the private phone number when making a call, the private phone number will be notified to the other party. The result is contrary to the user's intention. In addition, the fact that a call received from a business partner for a work telephone number is mistakenly recognized as a call for a private telephone number and responds to the incoming call is also a result contrary to the user's intention. Return to.

  Therefore, in order to prevent an incoming / outgoing call operation using a phone number that is not intended by the user (hereinafter referred to as a “number difference operation”), the mobile phone 10 according to the present embodiment has a touch panel (for each phone number). A device having a function as a display unit and an input unit), a microphone, and a receiver. This is because it is considered that when the hardware to be used for each telephone number is different, it is difficult for the user to perform the operation of different numbers compared to the case where the same hardware is shared. Specifically, the first touch panel 15a, the first microphone 16a, and the first receiver 17a are used to perform incoming and outgoing calls and other operations related to the first telephone number a, and at least the second telephone number b. It cannot be used for incoming / outgoing call operations using. The second touch panel 15b, the second microphone 16b, and the second receiver 17b are used to perform incoming / outgoing calls and other operations related to the second telephone number b, and use at least the first telephone number a. It cannot be used for incoming / outgoing call operations.

  Here, the first touch panel 15a is a display input device having a first display unit 31a and a first touch sensor 32a as a first input unit. The second touch panel 15b is a display input device having a second display unit 31b and a touch sensor 32b as a second input unit. Note that some or all of the functions of the soft keys displayed on the first touch panel 15a and the second touch panel 15b are realized by providing hard keys on the first surface 14 and the second surface 18, respectively. Also good. In the following description, an example in which the first touch panel 15a and the second touch panel 15b display at least incoming / outgoing call instruction keys 38a and 38b as soft keys and an end call key 39 will be described.

  The incoming / outgoing call instruction keys 38a and 38b provide the main control unit 37 with information indicating that there has been an outgoing call instruction when pressed during standby. The incoming / outgoing call instruction keys 38a and 38b provide the main control unit 37 with information indicating that there has been an incoming call response instruction when pressed during an incoming call. The main control unit 37 rejects the incoming call response instruction as necessary.

  When the call end key 39 is pressed during a call, it gives information to the main control section 37 that there has been an instruction to end the call. When the end key 39 is pressed during standby, it gives information to the main control section 37 that there has been an instruction to terminate the system and turn off the power (end instruction).

  The first display unit 31a and the second display unit 31b are configured by a general display output device such as a liquid crystal display or an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display. The first display unit 31a displays an incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38a for performing an incoming / outgoing call operation using at least the telephone number a according to the control of the main control unit 37 as a soft key. Further, the second display unit 31b displays, as soft keys, an incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38b for performing an incoming / outgoing call operation using at least the telephone number b under the control of the main control unit 37.

  The first touch sensor 32 a and the second touch sensor 32 b provide information on the position indicated by the user on the touch sensor to the CPU of the main control unit 37.

  For example, when the user intends to press one of the soft keys on the image displayed on the first display unit 31a, the user tries to touch this soft key equivalent part on the screen. The touch sensor acquires information on the contact trial position obtained from the contact operation as information on the user's designated position, and provides the information to the CPU of the main control unit 37.

  The mobile communication unit 34 is controlled by the main control unit 37 to transmit and receive voice and data via the mobile communication network 101 via the mobile communication antenna 33. The mobile communication unit 34 and the short-range communication unit 36 can cooperate, and in this case, the user makes a call via the mobile communication network 101 using the headphones and the microphone of the headset 102. be able to.

  The short-range communication unit 36 is controlled by the main control unit 37 to perform wireless communication by a communication method based on a short-range wireless communication standard such as the headset 102 and the BLUETOOTH (registered trademark) standard via the short-range communication antenna 35. I do.

  The main control unit 37 is configured by a storage medium such as a CPU, a RAM, and a ROM, and controls processing operations of the mobile phone 10 according to a program stored in the storage medium.

  The CPU of the main control unit 37 loads an incoming / outgoing call operation control program stored in a storage medium such as a ROM and data necessary for the execution of the program into the RAM, and an unintended telephone call by the user according to the program. A process for reliably preventing an incoming / outgoing call operation using a number is executed.

  The RAM of the main control unit 37 provides a work area for temporarily storing programs and data executed by the CPU.

  The storage medium including the ROM of the main control unit 37 stores a startup program for the mobile phone 10, an incoming / outgoing call operation control program, and various data necessary for executing these programs.

  A storage medium such as a ROM has a configuration including a recording medium readable by a CPU, such as a magnetic or optical recording medium or a semiconductor memory, and a part of programs and data in the storage medium. Or you may comprise so that all may be downloaded via an electronic network.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the function realization unit by the CPU of the main control unit 37. In addition, this function realization part may be comprised by hardware logics, such as a circuit, without using CPU.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the CPU of the main control unit 37 performs at least a state determination unit 41, an image generation unit 42, a standby operation control unit 43, an incoming call operation control unit 44, and a call control unit 45 by an incoming / outgoing call operation control program. Function as. Each of the units 41 to 45 uses a required work area of the RAM as a temporary storage location for data.

  The state determination unit 41 receives the output of the magnetic sensor 22 as the state detection unit, and determines whether or not the mobile phone 10 is in the second state (closed state) according to this output. In the following description, an example in which it is determined that the state is the first state (open state) when not in the second state will be described.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image for allowing the user to easily recognize which touch panel is assigned to which telephone number. FIG. 4A shows the first touch panel 15a. It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of the image which specifies that it is assigned to the 1st telephone number a, (b) specifies that the 2nd touch panel 15b is assigned to the 2nd telephone number b. It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of an image.

  In addition to allocating hardware to be used for each telephone number, in order to prevent an operation of different numbers, in order to present to the user which touch panel is for which telephone number, for each of the touch panels 15a and 15b. An image should be displayed.

  For example, when the first phone number a is for private use and the second phone number b is for work use, the first display unit 31a and the second display unit 31b are set in standby and incoming calls. It is preferable to display an image containing information indicating that it is for private use and work use. In addition, when the user selects a wallpaper or icon image corresponding to each telephone number, these images may be displayed.

  The image generation unit 42 generates an image for presenting to the user which touch panel is for which telephone number, and displays the image on each of the touch panels 15a and 15b (FIGS. 4A and 4B). )reference). For example, an image in which the first telephone number a is easily specified by the user is displayed on the first touch panel 15a. Examples of this type of image include an image that displays the first telephone number a itself, and a wallpaper or icon image that is selected by the user corresponding to the first telephone number a.

  By visually recognizing these images, for example, when the user is facing the first display unit 31a in the open state, the incoming / outgoing call operation performed via the first touch panel 15a is performed by the first telephone number a. It becomes easy to recognize that it is internally processed as an operation related to.

  However, even if the hardware that should be used for each telephone number is separated, only the guidance by the image cannot prevent the operation of different numbers if the user overlooks these images. . For example, it is desirable to be able to reliably prevent an erroneous operation even when an incoming / outgoing call operation is performed in a hurry, such as when making a call for emergency contact or responding to a sudden incoming call.

  Therefore, the standby operation control unit 43 rejects an input operation via the second touch panel 15b when the state determination unit 41 determines that the current state is the first state during standby, and the second microphone 16b and The function of the second receiver 17b is stopped. The standby operation control unit 43 rejects an input operation via the first touch panel 15a when the state determination unit 41 determines that the current state is the second state at the time of standby, as well as the second microphone 16b and The function of the second receiver 17b is stopped.

  For example, in the first state, the input from these members 15b, 16b, and 17b assigned to the second telephone number b is likely to be an erroneous input by the user. By accepting only a call instruction by one telephone number according to the open / close state, even when a call instruction operation is performed in a hurry, it is possible to prevent an adverse effect caused by an operation of different numbers. Further, power consumption can be reduced by stopping power supply to unnecessary members.

  When there is an incoming call for the first telephone number a, the incoming call operation control unit 44 controls the image generation unit 42 to display the fact on the first display unit 31a and via the second input unit 32b. The incoming call response instruction is rejected. In the second state, since the standby operation control unit 43 has already disabled the operation of the first input unit 32a, the incoming call operation control unit 44 has at least the incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38a. Allow operation. At this time, the functions of the second microphone 16b and the second receiver 17b may be stopped. In consideration of the case of the second state (closed state), information indicating that there is an incoming call to the first telephone number a on the second display unit 31b or the first state will not be received. Information that prompts the user to go to the first state, such as information indicating that the call cannot be answered, may be displayed.

  In addition, when there is an incoming call for the second telephone number, the incoming call operation control unit 44 controls the image generation unit 42 to display the fact on the second display unit 31b and displays the first input unit 32a. The incoming call response instruction is rejected. At this time, the functions of the first microphone 16a and the first receiver 17a may be stopped. Further, in consideration of the case of the first state (open state), information indicating that there is an incoming call for the second telephone number b on the first display unit 31a or an incoming call unless the second state is entered. Information that prompts the user to go to the second state, such as information indicating that a response cannot be made, may be displayed.

  Note that in the case of “rejecting the incoming call response instruction”, not only when the incoming call response instruction is given, but also when this instruction is not accepted, the corresponding incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38a or 38b is erased from the display unit of the touch panel. In addition to the case, the operation of the corresponding first input unit 32a or second input unit 32b itself may be disabled.

  As a result, if there is an incoming call for one telephone number, an incoming call response instruction for the other telephone number is disabled regardless of the open / closed state. Even when an incoming call response instruction operation is performed in a hurry, it is possible to prevent an adverse effect caused by an operation of different numbers.

  When the call control unit 45 receives an incoming call request signal from another call device, the call control unit 45 extracts information indicating which of the telephone numbers a and b is the incoming call request from this signal, and receives the incoming call operation control unit. 44.

  Next, an example of the operation of the mobile phone 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a procedure at the time of processing for reliably preventing a call instruction operation using an unintended telephone number by the user by the main control unit 37 of the mobile phone 10 shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, reference numerals with numbers added to S indicate steps in the flowchart.

  This procedure starts when the mobile phone 10 is turned on.

  First, in step S1, the state determination unit 41 receives the output of the magnetic sensor 22, and determines whether the mobile phone 10 is in the second state (closed state) according to the output. When it is not the second state, that is, when it is the first state (open state), the process proceeds to step S2. On the other hand, in the second state, the process proceeds to step S5.

  Next, in step S2, the image generation unit 42 displays an image in which the first telephone number a is easily specified by the user on the first display unit 31a of the first touch panel 15a (FIG. 4A). reference).

  Next, in step S3, the standby operation control unit 43 disables the input operation via the second touch panel 15b and stops the functions of the second microphone 16b and the second receiver 17b.

  Next, in step S4, the main control unit 37 determines whether or not there has been an end instruction from the user via the end call key 39 or the like. If there is an end instruction, the series of procedures ends. On the other hand, if there is no end instruction, the process returns to step S1.

  On the other hand, in step S5, the image generation unit 42 displays an image in which the second telephone number b is easily specified by the user on the second display unit 31b of the second touch panel 15b (see FIG. 4B). ).

  Next, in step S6, the standby operation control unit 43 disables the input operation via the second touch panel 15b, stops the functions of the second microphone 16b and the second receiver 17b, and proceeds to step S5. move on.

  With the above procedure, it is possible to reliably prevent a call instruction operation using an unintended telephone number by the user.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a procedure in processing for reliably preventing an incoming call response instruction operation using an unintended telephone number by the user by the main control unit 37 of the mobile phone 10 shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, reference numerals with numbers added to S indicate steps in the flowchart.

  This procedure starts when the mobile phone 10 receives an incoming call request signal from another communication device.

  First, in step S11, the call control unit 45 determines which of the telephone numbers a and b is an incoming call request based on the information extracted from the incoming call request signal from another telephone apparatus. . If it is an incoming call request for the telephone number a, the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, if it is an incoming call request for the telephone number b, the process proceeds to step S16.

  Next, in step S12, the incoming call operation control unit 44 deletes the incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38b from the second display unit 31b of the second touch panel 15b, thereby instructing an incoming call response via the second input unit 32b. And the operation of the incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38a is permitted as necessary.

  Next, in step S13, the incoming call operation control unit 44 stops the functions of the second microphone 16b and the second receiver 17b.

  Next, in step S14, the image generation unit 42 displays information indicating that there is an incoming call request for the first telephone number on the first display unit 31a of the first touch panel 15a. End.

  By performing the procedure from step S12 to step S14, if there is an incoming call for the first telephone number, the input operation of the incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38b is rejected.

  Next, in step S15, the incoming call operation control unit 44 deletes the incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38a from the first display unit 31a of the first touch panel 15a, thereby instructing an incoming call response via the first input unit 32a. And the operation of the incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38b is permitted as necessary.

  Next, in step S16, the incoming call operation control unit 44 stops the functions of the first microphone 16a and the first receiver 17a.

  Next, in step S17, the image generation unit 42 displays information indicating that there is an incoming call request for the second telephone number on the second display unit 31b of the second touch panel 15b. End.

  By performing the procedure from step S15 to S17, if there is an incoming call for the second telephone number, the input operation of the incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38a is rejected.

  The procedure shown in FIG. 6 can reliably prevent an incoming call response instruction operation using an unintended telephone number by the user.

  FIG. 7 is a view showing a modified example of the connecting portion 13 shown in FIG. 1, (a) is a side view in a first state (open state) according to the modified example of the connecting portion 13, and (b) is shown in FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the special aspect of the 1st state (open state) which concerns on the modification of the connection part. This special mode is a mode in which the second surface 18 of the first housing 11 and the fourth surface 50 of the second housing 12 are in close proximity to each other. Here, the fourth surface 50 is the surface of the second housing 12 and the back surface of the third surface 19.

  The cellular phone 10 having the connecting portion 13 shown in this modification can select the figure reduction mode as one of the first states (open states).

  As shown in FIG. 7, a first rotating portion 51 and a second rotating portion 52 are fixed to the end portions of the first casing 11 and the second casing 12, respectively. The first rotating unit 51 rotates in the direction of arrow Y about the first shaft 53. Further, the second rotating part 52 rotates in the direction of arrow Z around the second shaft 54. A cross in the figure is a virtual mark for indicating the positions of the first axis 53 and the second axis 54.

  The first axis 53 and the second axis 54 are parallel to the first, second, third and fourth surfaces 14, 18, 19 and 50. Further, the first shaft 53 is positioned so as to penetrate the first casing 11, and the second axis 54 is positioned so as to penetrate the second casing 12.

  The connecting part 13 connects the first rotating part 51 and the second rotating part 52 so that the first rotating part 51 and the second rotating part 52 can rotate independently of each other. The distance from the first axis 53 to the second axis 54 on a plane (such as the side surface shown in FIG. 7) parallel to the longitudinal section of the mobile phone 10 is not changed.

  In addition to the rotation mechanism, the second rotation unit 52 has a lock mechanism that restricts rotation. When the rotation restricting function by the lock mechanism is working, the second rotating portion 52 cannot rotate. This rotation restriction function can be canceled in response to an operation by the user. For example, when a lock release button for releasing the rotation restriction function is provided on the side surface of the second housing 12, the rotation restriction function is released while the lock release button is being pressed.

  The cellular phone 10 according to this modification can select the degenerated state as a special aspect of the first state. For this reason, the user can easily hold the mobile phone 10 when making a call using the first telephone number.

  When used in the special state of the first state, the main control unit 37 may reject the input operation via the hard key group 20 in order to prevent an erroneous operation on the hard key group 20.

  Next, a second embodiment of the mobile phone 10 according to the present invention will be described.

  The mobile phone 10A shown in the second embodiment is a straight type covered with one housing 60, and shares one display unit and one input unit with two telephone numbers. In order to prevent a number difference operation caused by sharing one display unit and one input unit with two telephone numbers, the mobile phone 10A has an acceleration sensor 61 to grasp the current orientation of the own device, It differs from the mobile phone 10 shown in the first embodiment in that the available phone numbers are selectively limited according to the orientation of the mobile phone 10A. Moreover, since it is a straight type, the hard key group 20, the second touch panel 15b, the magnetic piece 21, and the magnetic sensor 22 as the third input unit may not be provided. Since other configurations and operations are not substantially different from those of the mobile phone 10 shown in FIG. 1, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  The acceleration sensor 61 detects the acceleration applied to the mobile phone 10 </ b> A, outputs a signal corresponding to the detected acceleration, and gives it to the main control unit 37. In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a three-axis acceleration sensor that is widely used in a portable terminal because it is very small but highly accurate is applied as the acceleration sensor 61. From the acceleration sensor 61 (three-axis acceleration sensor), accelerations αx, αy, αz in the three-axis directions of the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis are output. According to the acceleration sensor 61, it is possible to detect the inclination of the orientation of the mobile phone 10A with respect to the orientation of the gravitational acceleration vector.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic block diagram showing a configuration example of the function realization unit by the CPU of the main control unit 37 according to the present embodiment.

  The CPU also functions as the direction determination unit 64 by the incoming / outgoing call operation control program.

  The orientation determination unit 64 receives the output of the acceleration sensor 61 and determines whether the mobile phone A is in the first state or the second state.

  When it is determined that the mobile phone A is in the first state at the time of standby, the standby operation control unit 43 controls the image generation unit 42 so that the first telephone number a is set to the first display unit 31a. Displays an image easily specified by the user. The orientation of this image is such that it is a forward direction in the first state, that is, a natural image in the state shown in FIG.

  Further, when it is determined that the orientation of the mobile phone 10A is in the second state during standby, the image generation unit 42 is controlled so that the second telephone number b is set by the user to the first display unit 31a. Display an easily specified image. The orientation of the image is such that it is a forward image in the second state, that is, a natural image in the state shown in FIG.

  By visually recognizing these images, the user can easily recognize which telephone number is available for the current mobile phone 10A.

  Note that the control of the microphones 16a and 16b and the receivers 17a and 17b is the same as that in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The incoming call operation control unit 44 (1) has an incoming call for the first telephone number and is in the first state, and (2) has an incoming call for the second telephone number and is in the second state. In this case, the image generation unit 42 is controlled to display an image to that effect and an incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38c on the first display unit 31a. In the case of (1), the orientation of the image is the orientation that is the forward direction in the first state, and in the case of (2), the orientation is the orientation that is the forward direction in the first state. Is the right direction.

  On the other hand, when (3) there is an incoming call for the first telephone number and is in the second state, and (4) there is an incoming call for the second telephone number and is in the first state, the image generation unit 42 is controlled to display only an image to that effect on the first display section 31a, and the incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38c is not displayed. In the case of (3), the orientation of the image is the orientation that is the forward direction in the first state, and in the case of (4), the orientation is the orientation that is the forward direction in the second state. Is the right direction.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of an image displayed on the first display unit 31a when there is an incoming call for the first telephone number in the second state and the state shifts to the first state. .

  In the case of (3), when the direction of the mobile phone A is shifted to the first state during the incoming call request, and in the case of (4), the direction of the mobile phone A is changed to the second state during the incoming call request. When the transition is made, the incoming / outgoing call instruction key 38c is displayed. As a result, the user can make an incoming call response.
