Abstract

A mobile telephone device includes a communication part configured to perform wireless communication with an external mobile telephone device M, a talking part configured to make a call to the external mobile telephone device by modulating a voice signal from a vocoder, transmitting it from the communication part, demodulating the voice signal received by the communication part, and reproducing it by a speaker, a display part configured to display an image, and a control part configured to display information related to an operational mode of the mobile telephone device of a sender together with an incoming notice if there is this information among the communication information of which incoming is detected by the communication part and to control the mobile telephone device so as to wait for an operation for talking.

Claims

1. A mobile telephone device comprising:

a communication part configured to perform wireless communication with an external mobile telephone device;

a talking part configured to make a call to the external mobile telephone device by modulating a voice signal from a vocoder, transmitting it from the communication part, demodulating the voice signal received by the communication part, and reproducing it by a speaker;

a display part configured to display an image in accordance with communication information received by the communication part through wireless communication; and

a control part configured to display information related to an operational mode of the mobile telephone device of a sender together with an incoming notice if there is this information among the communication information of which incoming is detected by the communication part and to control the mobile telephone device so as to wait for an operation for talking.

2. The mobile telephone device according to claim 1, wherein the operational mode of the sender information is at least one of a manner mode and a handsfree mode.

3. The mobile telephone device according to claim 1, wherein, when receiving information related to positional information of the mobile telephone device of the sender from a communication party, the mobile telephone device displays this on the display part.

4. The mobile telephone device according to claim 1, wherein, when receiving a signal having positional information from a communication party as the sender information, the mobile telephone device reads out map information corresponding to the positional information and displays this map image on the display part.

5. The mobile telephone device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an image formation part configured to form an image in accordance with the sender information in order to transmit the image information in accordance with the sender information from the communication part.

6. The mobile telephone device according to claim 1, wherein the control part acquires the positional information of the base station with which the communication part performs communication through communication, and controls the mobile telephone device so as to transmit the present positional information of the mobile telephone device of the sender based on the positional information of this base station to the external mobile telephone device.

7. The mobile telephone device according to claim 1, wherein the mobile telephone device further has a detecting part configured to detect the present positional information of the mobile telephone device of the sender by performing the communication with other communication device, and thereby, the control part controls the mobile telephone device so as to transmit the detected latitude and longitude to the external mobile telephone device by using the communication part.

8. The mobile telephone device according to claim 1, wherein the mobile telephone device further has a detecting part configured to detect the present positional information of the mobile telephone device of the sender by performing the communication with other communication device, and thereby, the control part controls the mobile telephone device so as to transmit map image information in accordance with the detected present positional information to the external mobile telephone device by using the communication part.

9. The mobile telephone device according to claim 1, wherein the mobile telephone device further has a detecting part configured to detect the present positional information of the mobile telephone device of the sender by performing the communication with other communication device, a moving speed is calculated by measuring the present positional information every certain seconds, and the control part controls the mobile telephone device so as to transmit the moving speed to the external mobile telephone device by using the communication part.

10. The mobile telephone device according to claim 1, wherein

the mobile telephone device further has a detecting part configured to detect a temperature or a humidity in air and

the control part controls the mobile telephone device so as to transmit the information about the detected temperature or humidity to the external mobile telephone device by using the communication part.

11. A telephone method of a mobile telephone device, comprising:

performing wireless communication with an external mobile telephone device, and

if there is information related to an operational mode of the mobile telephone device of a sender among communication information of which incoming is detected, displaying it on a display part together with an incoming notice and waiting for an operation for talking.

12. The telephone method according to claim 11, wherein the operational mode of the sender information is at least one of a manner mode and a handsfree mode.

13. The telephone method according to claim 11, wherein, when receiving information related to positional information of the sender information from a communication party, this is displayed on the display part of the mobile telephone device.

14. The telephone method according to claim 11, wherein, when receiving a signal having positional information as the sender information from a communication party, a map image in accordance with the positional information is read out from a storage area and this map image is displayed on the display of the mobile telephone device.

15. The telephone method according to claim 11, wherein image formation is carried out in accordance with the sender information in order to add the image information in accordance with the sender information to the carrier wave.

16. The telephone method according to claim 11, wherein positional information of a base station in which the mobile telephone device of the sender performs communication is acquired through communication, and the present positional information of the mobile telephone device of the sender on the basis of the positional information of this base station is transmitted to the external mobile telephone device.

17. The telephone method according to claim 11, wherein present positional information of the mobile telephone device of the sender is detected through communication to other communication device, and the detected latitude and longitude are transmitted to the external mobile telephone device.

18. The telephone method according to claim 11, wherein present positional information of the mobile telephone device of the sender is detected through communication with other communication device and the mobile telephone device is controlled so as to transmit map image information in accordance with the detected present positional information to the external mobile telephone device.

19. The telephone method according to claim 11, wherein present positional information of the mobile telephone device of the sender is detected through communication with other communication device, a moving speed is calculated by measuring the present positional information every certain seconds, and the mobile telephone device is controlled so as to transmit the moving speed to the external mobile telephone device.

20. A telephone method of a telephone device, comprising:

performing wireless communication with an external mobile telephone device, and

if there is information related to an operational mode of the mobile telephone device of a sender among communication information of which incoming is detected, displaying it on a display part together with an incoming notice and waiting for an operation for talking.
