Abstract

In an mobile apparatus, which has a transmission unit for transmitting contents including at least melody data to a communication terminal for reproducing the contents as an incoming melody and in which a user can find a file transfer state and the like from the sense of hearing without paying attention to a screen in such a manner that the progress of a file being transferred and a result of transfer of the file are indicated by the audio effect, the mobile apparatus has a first sounding unit for sounding sound effect while the contents are being transferred, a second sounding unit for sounding, when transmission of the contents is finished, sound effect indicating whether the transmission is succeeded or fails, and a calling unit for calling an opponent to which the contents are transmitted based on the completion of transmission of the contents.

Claims (32)

1 . A mobile apparatus having a transmission unit configured to transmit contents including at least melody data to a communication terminal for reproducing the contents as an incoming melody comprising:

a first sounding unit configured to sound sound effect while the contents are being transmitted by the transmission unit;

a second sounding unit configured to sound, when transmission of the contents by the transmission unit is finished, sound effect indicating whether the transmission is succeeded or fails; and

a calling unit configured to call an opponent to which the contents are transmitted based on the completion of transmission of the contents by the transmission unit.

2 . The mobile apparatus according to claim 1 comprising:

a reception unit configured to receive contents transmitted by the transmission unit;

an incoming unit configured to accept a call from the calling unit; and

a reproduction unit configured to reproduce, when the reception unit accepts the transmission, the contents received by the reception unit.

3 . The mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first sounding unit changes the tempo of the sound effect according to the progress of transmission by the transmission unit.

4 . The mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first sounding unit changes the volume of the sound effect according to the progress of transmission by the transmission unit.

5 . The mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first sounding unit changes the pitch of the sound effect according to the progress of transmission by the transmission unit.

6 . The mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first sounding unit sounds sound effect by reproducing an audio file.

7 . The mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first sounding unit sounds sound effect by reproducing the contents transmitted by the transmission unit.

8 . The mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the contents transmitted by the transmission unit includes moving image data, the first sounding unit sounds sound effect by reproducing the moving image data.

9 . A mobile apparatus having a transmission unit configured to transmit contents including at least melody data to a communication terminal for reproducing the contents as an incoming melody comprising:

a first sounding unit configured to reproduce the contents transmitted by the transmission unit while the contents are being transmitted by the transmission unit;

a second sounding unit configured to sound, when transmission of contents by the transmission unit is finished, sound effect indicating whether the transmission is succeeded or fails; and

a calling unit configured to call an opponent to which the contents are transmitted based on the completion of transmission of the contents by the transmission unit.

10 . A calling method of a mobile apparatus having a transmission unit configured to transmit contents including at least melody data to a communication terminal for reproducing the contents as an incoming melody comprising:

a first sounding step of sounding sound effect while the contents are being transmitted by the transmission unit;

a second sounding step of sounding, when transmission of the contents by the transmission unit is finished, sound effect indicating whether the transmission is succeeded or fails; and

a calling step of calling an opponent to which the contents are transmitted based on the completion of transmission of the contents by the transmission unit.

11 . The calling method of the mobile apparatus according to claim 10 comprising:

a reception step of receiving contents transmitted by the transmission unit;

an incoming step of accepting a call in the calling step; and

a reproduction step of reproducing, when the contents is accepted at the reception step, the contents received at the reception step.

12 . The calling method of the mobile apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the tempo of the sound effect is changed according to the progress of transmission by the transmission unit at the first sounding step.

13 . The calling method of the mobile apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the volume of the sound effect is changed according to the progress of transmission by the transmission unit at the first sounding step.

14 . The calling method of the mobile apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the pitch of the sound effect is changed according to the progress of transmission by the transmission unit at the first sounding step.

15 . The calling method of the mobile apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein sound effect is sounded by reproducing an audio file at the first sounding step.

16 . The calling method of the mobile apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein sound effect is sounded by reproducing the contents transmitted by the transmission unit at the first sounding step.

17 . The calling method of the mobile apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein when the contents transmitted by the transmission unit includes moving image data, sound effect is sounded by reproducing the moving image data at the first sounding step.
