Abstract

In a portable communication terminal, an interrupting incoming call will be easily noticed even while the user is listening to music with a BT-connected device. When an incoming call interrupts the transmission of tune information to a BT-AV device, the transmission of tune information is stopped and then ringtone information different from the tune data that have been transmitted is transmitted to the BT-AV device, and the usual ringtone data is played thereafter.

Claims

1. A portable communication terminal comprising:

a memory configured to store a plurality of music data and ringtone data;

a sound ringing unit configured to ring a prescribed ringtone based on the ringtone data stored in the memory;

a close-range wireless communication unit configured to transmit a desired first music data from among the plurality of music data stored in the memory to an external device having an external close-range wireless communication function; and

a controlling unit configured to stop the transmission of the first music data and transmit a second music data different from the first music data stored in the memory to the wireless device to the external device if an incoming call interrupts the transmission of the first music data, and then ring a prescribed ringtone based on the ringtone data with the sound ringing unit.

2. The portable communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the controlling unit transmits the second music data to the external device in a prescribed data amount.

3. The portable communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the controlling unit transmits the second music data to the external device in data amount sufficient for ringing for a prescribed time period.

4. The portable communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the controlling unit comprises a transmission controller configured to store information relating to transmission stop of the first music data in the memory if the transmission of the first music data is stopped, and, after talking in the incoming call, transmit the first music data to the external device from a middle stage thereof based on information relating to transmission stop of the first music data stored in the memory.

5. The portable communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the controlling unit comprises a retransmission controller configured to transmit the first music data from the beginning thereof to the external device, after talking in the incoming call.

6. The portable communication terminal according to claim 1, further comprising an operation unit configured to operate reproduction and stop of the music data stored in the memory, wherein

the controlling unit comprises a controller configured to transmit the first music data from the beginning thereof to the external device via operations of the external device or operations of the operation unit, after the talking in the incoming call.
