Portable telephone
First Claim
1. A portable telephone having a communicator for receiving and transmitting signals with base stations by radio communication to secure conversation with an external telephone terminal, comprising:
- a vibration sensor for detecting vibration applied to the portable telephone;
a musical tone generator for generating musical tones of a prescribed musical tune;
a rhythm sound signal generator for generating rhythm sound signals in synchronization with the musical tones of the prescribed musical tune;
a rhythm difference detector for detecting timing differences between outputs of the vibration sensor and the rhythm sound signals;
a scorer for marking a score based on the timing differences detected by the rhythm difference detector; and
a display for displaying the score on a screen thereof.

Abstract
A portable telephone is designed to realize portable telephone functions and game device functions, particularly music games, which are embodied by a vibration device such as a vibration sensor and a vibration motor. When the user swings and vibrates the portable telephone like a maraca in synchronization with the rhythm of a prescribed musical tune, the vibration device produces vibration pulses, which are compared with rhythm pulses. Then, a score is marked on user'"'"'s operation to swing the portable telephone on the basis of time differences detected between the vibration pulses and rhythm pulses and is displayed on the screen of a display.

2. A portable telephone having a communicator for receiving and transmitting signals with base stations by radio communication to secure conversation with an external telephone terminal, comprising:
-
a vibration motor for applying vibration to the portable telephone at reception of an incoming call, wherein the vibration motor generates counter-electromotive force when vibrated;
a musical tone generator for generating musical tones of a prescribed musical tune;
a rhythm sound signal generator for generating rhythm sound signals in synchronization with the musical tones of the prescribed musical tune;
a rhythm difference detector for detecting timing differences between outputs of the vibration motor corresponding to the counter-electromotive force and the rhythm sound signals;
a scorer for marking a score based on the timing differences detected by the rhythm difference detector; and
a display for displaying the score on a screen thereof.

3. A portable telephone comprising:
-
a musical tone memory for storing music data containing melody data and rhythm sound data with respect to a plurality of musical tunes;
a musical tone generator for generating musical tones based on the melody data of a prescribed musical tune selected from among the plurality of musical tunes;
a rhythm sound generator for generating rhythm sounds based on the rhythm sound data of the prescribed musical tune;
a vibration device for detecting vibration applied to the portable telephone to produce pulses;
a rhythm difference detector for detecting time differences between rhythm pulses corresponding to the rhythm data and the pulses produced by the vibration device; and
a display for displaying a score marked for user'"'"'s operation swinging the portable telephone on the basis of the time differences detected by the rhythm difference detector. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5)
