Portable terminal device and communications device system wherein the device is used
View Patent ↗A portable terminal device comprises an antenna for receiving radio waves from a base station, an incoming call alarm for notifying the user of the reception of radio waves, a control circuit provided between the antenna and the alarm for activating the alarm and a memory. The memory is capable of storing therein a predetermined incoming call rejecting condition or incoming call notifying condition via the control circuit. The control circuit includes comparison means for detecting whether one of information as to the current time and date, information as to the self-location of the device and information as to the caller or the combination of these items of information is in match with the incoming call rejecting condition or incoming call notifying condition stored in the memory. The control circuit has the function of changing over to predetermined incoming call rejecting means or incoming call notifying means when a match is obtained.
1. A portable terminal device comprising an antenna for receiving radio waves from a base station, an incoming call alarm for notifying the user of the reception of radio waves, a control circuit provided between the antenna and the alarm for activating the alarm and a memory, the portable terminal device being characterized in that:
the memory is capable of storing therein a predetermined incoming call rejecting condition or incoming call notifying condition via the control circuit,
the control circuit having the function of operating to obtain location information when it receives an incoming call request signal,
the control circuit including comparison means for detecting whether information as to the self-location of the device is in match with the incoming call rejecting condition or incoming call notifying condition stored in the memory,
the control circuit having the function of changing over to predetermined incoming call rejecting means or incoming call notifying means when a match is obtained.
2. A portable terminal device according to claim 1 wherein the incoming call rejecting condition and the incoming call notifying condition are each at least one of the self-location condition, time information and caller information.
3. A portable terminal device according to claim 1 or 2 wherein the control circuit has connected thereto a GPS receiver for receiving radio waves transmitted from GPS satellites and obtains the self-location information from the GPS receiver.
4. A portable terminal device according to claim 1 wherein the base station is linked to a map sewer having stored therein map information, and a location information map obtained from the map sewer is used for setting the self location condition to be stored in the memory.
5. A portable terminal device according to claim 3 wherein the control circuit detects whether the self location information received by the antenna or the GPS receiver is in match with the self location condition stored in the memory and rejects transmission of an outgoing call when a match is obtained.
6. A communications device system comprising:
a base station, and a portable terminal device, the portable terminal device comprising:
an antenna for receiving radio waves from the base station,
an incoming call alarm for notifying the user of the reception of radio waves,
a control circuit provided between the antenna and the alarm for activating the alarm and a memory,
the memory being capable of storing therein a predetermined incoming call rejecting condition or incoming call notifying condition via the control circuit,
the control circuit having the function of operating to obtain location information when it receives an incoming call request signal,
the control circuit including comparison means for detecting whether-one-of information as to the self-location of the device is in match with the incoming call rejecting condition or incoming call notifying condition stored in the memory,
the control circuit having the function of changing over to predetermined incoming call rejecting means or incoming call notifying means when a match is obtained.
7. A portable terminal device comprising an antenna for receiving radio waves from a base station, an incoming call alarm for notifying the user of the reception of radio waves, a control circuit provided between the antenna and the alarm for activating the alarm and a memory, the portable terminal device being characterized in that:
the memory is capable of storing therein a predetermined incoming call rejecting condition or incoming call notifying condition via the control circuit,
the control circuit including comparison means for detecting whether information as to the current time and date, information as to the self-location of the device and information as to the caller is in match with the incoming call rejecting condition or incoming call notifying condition stored in the memory,
the control circuit having the function of changing over to predetermined incoming call rejecting means or incoming call notifying means when a match is obtained.
