Telephone and method of controlling call initiation therein

Abstract

The invention relates to a telephone and a method of controlling call initiation therein. A mobile phone (10) includes an input section (18) that receives a call initiation instruction for a call with another mobile phone (M), a speaker (14) that outputs sound from another mobile phone (M) at the time of the call, a detection section (20) that is arranged in the vicinity of the speaker (14) and detects the distance to a user (U), a determination section (22) that determines that a motion to start the call has been made by the user (U) when the distance detected by the detection section (20) becomes shorter than a predetermined distance after the call initiation instruction is received by the input section (18), and a control section (26) that performs call initiation processing on another mobile phone (M) on the basis of the call initiation instruction received by the input section (18) when the determination section (22) determines that the motion to start the call has been made.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a telephone set and a calling control method in the telephone set. Background technique [0002] Telephones such as mobile phones have a phone book function for registering the other party's phone number and a history function for saving the history of calls made and received. In a telephone equipped with this function, call origination processing such as telephone call and e-mail transmission can be performed by simple processing such as selecting a call origination destination from registered and stored telephone numbers and e-mail addresses, and pressing an OK button. . On the other hand, because of the simplification of the call origination process, etc., it is not uncommon to find that the destination of the origination call is mistaken after pressing the confirm button for originating the call. Therefore, for example, in the calling method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2007-193717, the transmission data of ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In particular, when an e-mail is sent by mistake, the sent content is also sent to the wrong person, so serious problems may arise depending on the situation, and various methods for preventing false sending including JP-A-2007-193717 have been developed.

[0003] However, although many methods including JP-A-2007-193717 have been developed for preventing erroneous sending of e-mails, there are almost no means for preventing erroneous sending when using a telephone.

However, when using a telephone to make a call, such a situation often occurs: after selecting an arbitrary calling destination from the registered / saved telephone numbers and pressing the OK button to make a call, etc., although the wrong Initiate a call to the destination but resolutely press the OK button, resulting in a wrong send

And the mis-sending of such a phone call itself will not cause serious problems such as sending the content to the wrong person like the mis-sending of an e-mail, so it is generally neglected, but it brings a lot of trouble to the destination of the call after all. , so if there is a simple means of prevention, then also want to prevent mistransmission in the phone as much as possible, and the inventor gradually realized this potential demand
