Abstract
The pitch name of one musical note in a desired incoming call reporting melody is input through a voice (step S ). 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 S ) 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 S and S ). A musical note corresponding to the musical note data thus obtained is displayed on a musical staff on the screen (step S ). 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 S ). At the time of inputting a chord, in the step S 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.
