  The technology for handling telephone directory information and communication history information in a conventional communication terminal apparatus has the following problems. The first problem is that when the telephone number information or mail address information in the phone book information is changed or deleted, the communication partner is displayed when displaying the communication history such as outgoing call history, incoming call history, mail transmission history, mail reception history, etc. An appropriate communication partner cannot be displayed in the display field for displaying the destination. This is due to the following reason. In other words, in the conventional techniques described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the telephone number or mail address of the communication partner in the communication history information and the telephone registered in the phone book information are displayed in the display column of the communication partner. When the registration information of the number or the mail address matches, the name information in the registration information is mainly displayed. For this reason, when the phone number or mail address of the phone book information is changed or deleted, the matching information in the collation between the registered information in the phone book information and the telephone number or mail address of the communication partner in the history information is found. It will disappear. As a result, the telephone number or mail address of the communication partner notified from the communication network or sent to the communication network is displayed in the communication partner display field of the communication history, making it difficult to determine the communication partner.

  The second problem is derived from the first problem. When the telephone number information or the mail address information is changed or deleted, the terminal user can see the communication partner with the communication partner even if he / she sees the communication history with the communication partner. Since it is difficult to discriminate between the two, erroneous transmission or transmission is likely to occur. In other words, since the telephone number or mail address of the communication partner notified from or sent to the communication network is a sequence of characters such as alphabets and numbers, it is difficult to determine the communication partner from these pieces of information. For this reason, there is a risk of erroneous operations such as erroneous transmission and erroneous transmission of mail.

  The third problem is that, when the technique described in Patent Document 4 is adopted to avoid the above problem, the procedure for changing or deleting the phone book information is complicated. This is because, in the technique described in the patent document, when the phone book information is deleted, the terminal user selects whether to delete all of the history information or a part of the history information. This is because a procedure for performing the operation is essential.
