Abstract:
A communication inhibiting apparatus, comprising:disturbing wave generating means for generating a disturbing wave signal which disturbs communications to and from a portable telephone or similar communication terminal equipment; disturbing wave emitting means for emitting the disturbing wave signal generated by said disturbing wave generating means as a disturbing wave to said communication terminal equipment; transmitted wave detecting means for detecting a transmitted wave from the communication terminal equipment; and control means for controlling the disturbing wave generating means to generate the disturbing wave signal upon detecting said transmitted wave by said transmitted wave detecting means, wherein said control means controls the disturbing wave generating means to generate the disturbing wave signal a predetermined time after the detection of the transmitted wave by the transmitted wave detecting means in order to give said communication terminal equipment a predetermined time for recording a history of incoming calls and/or for receiving a call which does not need immediate reception by a receiver, such as a text message or a voice mail message.
