Attorney, Agent or Firm: Foley & Lardner

The pitch name of one musical note in a desired incoming call reporting melody is input through a voice (step S2). The input voiced pitch name information is subjected to speech recognition, and pitch name data, which matches data representing the input pitch name, is selected from a plurality of previously cataloged pitch name data (step S3) Next, the pitch name based on the selected one pitch name data is displayed as a character on a display screen, and the note duration of the pitch name is keyed (steps S4 and S5). A musical note corresponding to the musical note data thus obtained is displayed on a musical staff on the screen (step S6). One score data comprising a plurality of musical note data prepared in the same manner as described above is stored in a storage unit (step S8). At the time of inputting a chord, in the step S2, the pitch names of a plurality of respective musical notes constituting one chord are successively input through a voice. By virtue of the above constitution, a portable telephone set can be realized which enables an incoming call reporting melody to be accurately input in a short time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Under the above circumstances, the invention has been made, and it is an object of the invention to provide a portable telephone set which enables an incoming call reporting melody to be accurately input in a short time, and to provide a method for inputting the incoming call reporting melody.
It is another object of the invention to provide a portable telephone set which can input an incoming call reporting melody containing a chord, and to provide a method for inputting the incoming call reporting melody.
According to the first feature of the invention, a portable telephone set comprises: voice input means for inputting, through a voice, pitch names of an incoming call reporting melody in the order of musical notes; speech recognition means which, every time when pitch name information is input through a voice by the voice input means, compares data representing the pitch name, produced from the voiced pitch name information, with previously cataloged pitch name data to find out pitch name data which matches the data representing the pitch name, thereby performing speech recognition; a display unit for displaying a musical staff, a pitch name, and a musical note; display control means for displaying as a character the pitch name based on the pitch name data selected by the speech recognition means, on a screen of the display unit with the musical staff displayed thereon; key entry means which, every time when the character corresponding to the pitch name is newly displayed on the display unit, permits the keying of the note duration of the pitch name displayed as the character together with the musical staff on the display unit; musical note data production means which produces musical note data based on the note duration data keyed by the key entry means and the pitch name corresponding to the note duration and, in addition, displays on the musical staff a musical note corresponding to the musical note data; storage unit for storing score data of the incoming call reporting melody, said score data comprising a plurality of musical note data which have been successively produced by the musical note data production means; and incoming melody sounding means which, upon call incoming, converts the score data stored in the storage unit to a melody waveform signal which is then sounded through a speaker
