DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal used in, for example, a portable telephone system or a PHS (Personal Handyphone System), and more particularly to a mobile communication terminal having an electronic telephone directory.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, portable telephone devices and PHS terminal devices have rapidly spread. The mobile communication terminal of this type is provided with various functions for improving ease of use, and one of the functions is an electronic telephone directory.

[0003] An electronic telephone directory stores, for example, names of individuals, companies or groups and their telephone numbers in a memory in association with each other, and is displayed on a display unit by a user's operation. Then, when the user makes a call, the user first selects the name of the caller from among the displayed names, further displays the telephone number corresponding to this name, and then selects the desired telephone number from among them. By performing a call operation, a call is sent to a desired call destination. Therefore, it is possible to make a call more easily and quickly than in the case where all digits of the telephone number are manually input.

However, since mobile communication terminals generally have only a small display, it is impossible to display a list of telephone directory information in a lump. For this reason, many conventional devices are configured to hierarchize names and telephone numbers and selectively display the names and telephone numbers. Therefore, when making a call using the telephone directory, the user first displays the name, and then displays the corresponding telephone number by selecting and specifying the name of the call destination from the displayed name. You must make a call by selecting and specifying. For this reason, the operation related to the transmission was troublesome.

[0005] In addition, there is also used an apparatus in which a call can be made only by selecting and specifying a name. In this case, however, only one telephone number can be registered in association with one name. For this reason, when it is desired to make a call to another telephone number of the same caller, the call must be made by dialing without relying on the telephone directory, which is rather troublesome.

[0006]

As described above, the conventional apparatus has a difficulty in operability when making a call using a built-in electronic telephone directory. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic telephone directory. An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal device provided with an electronic telephone directory in which the outgoing call operation used is further simplified to improve operability.

A second object of the present invention is to provide an electronic telephone which informs a user of a caller's name at the time of an incoming call using a built-in electronic telephone directory so that the user can more clearly identify the caller. An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal device having a telephone directory.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the first object, the present invention provides a first hierarchy having an area for storing a plurality of names, and each of the names stored in the first hierarchy. And a second hierarchy having an area for storing a plurality of pieces of directory information in association with the electronic telephone directory. One of the plurality of pieces of directory information for each name is set as the representative information. The directory information set as the representative information among the plurality of directory information corresponding to the name is selectively read from the second hierarchy, and a transmission process is performed with the representative directory information as a transmission destination. Those were.

According to the present invention, directory information set as a representative in advance is read out and transmitted by simply selecting and specifying a desired name while the name is displayed. For this reason, the user can end the transmission by a single operation of simply designating the name, thereby improving the operability related to the transmission.

[0010] The present invention further comprises means for executing, when one of the displayed directory information is designated during the display of the second hierarchy, a calling process with the designated directory information as a sending destination. It is also characteristic.

By further providing such means, when desired directory information is selected and designated in a state where each directory information of the second hierarchy is displayed, transmission processing with the designated directory information as a transmission destination is performed. Done. In other words, the transmission that specifies the name of the first layer and the second
Both the transmission of the directory information of the hierarchy and the transmission of the directory information can be selectively performed according to the user's request.

[0012] On the other hand, in order to achieve the second object, the present invention provides an electronic telephone directory including a second electronic telephone directory.
Attribute storage means for storing information representing the attribute of the directory information in association with each of the directory information stored in the hierarchy of It is determined whether or not the directory information stored in the second directory of the electronic telephone directory is stored. If the directory information is stored, information indicating a name and an attribute corresponding to the directory information is stored in the first directory, respectively. Is read out from the hierarchy and attribute storage means and displayed.

According to the present invention, when receiving a notification of the caller identification information at the time of an incoming call and displaying the name corresponding to the notification,
The attributes of the caller, for example, whether the call is from the home or the office, and whether the call is from the mobile phone are also displayed. For this reason, the user can recognize the caller from the name and can clearly know where the caller originated from by looking at the attributes, so that when making a return call, the incoming call can be accurately received at the caller's location It is possible to do.

The digital demodulation circuit 21 digitally demodulates the reception intermediate frequency signal or the reception baseband signal, thereby reproducing a TDMA signal.

TDMA decode circuit 31 of TDMA section 3
Is controlled by the digital demodulation circuit 2
The control data or digital communication signal inserted in the time slot allocated to the own station is separated from the TDMA signal output from 1. The control data is taken into the control unit 5 and the control unit 5 performs call control and the like based on the control data. For example, when the control data is an incoming message addressed to itself, the sounder 51 or the vibrator 52 is driven to notify the incoming call.

On the other hand, the digital communication signal is transmitted to the communication unit 4

Thereafter, like the transmission voice signal, the DTMF signal is transmitted to the PCM codec 42 and the ADPC
After being encoded by the M transcoder 41, it is inserted into a transmission channel slot by the TDMA encoding circuit 32, then converted into a modulation signal by the digital modulation circuit 22 and transmitted from the transmission circuit 15 via the antenna 11.

The memory section 6 is provided with an area (phonebook memory) 61 for storing a telephone directory.
FIG. 5 shows the configuration. That is, the telephone directory memory 61 includes a first hierarchy 61a and a second hierarchy 61b. The first hierarchy 61a stores the name of the caller.

The second hierarchy 61b is provided with an area for storing directory information, an area for storing representative setting information, and an area for storing attributes. A plurality of telephone numbers or mail addresses are stored in the directory information storage area in association with each name stored in the first hierarchy.
FIG. 5 shows an example in which three telephone numbers are stored in association with one name. Hereinafter, the directory information will be described as a telephone number.

In the storage area for the representative setting information, "1" is stored as information indicating that the name is representative in the area corresponding to the telephone number to be set as the representative among the plurality of telephone numbers for each name. . The attribute storage area stores attribute information indicating the type or location of the calling terminal device corresponding to each telephone number. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, information indicating whether the call is originating from home, from the office, or from a mobile phone is stored.

The control unit 5 has, for example, a microcomputer as a main control unit, and includes a telephone directory transmission control unit 5a and a caller information display control unit 5b as main control functions according to the present invention. I have.

When one of the names in the first hierarchy 61a of the telephone directory memory 61 is selected and designated by key operation while displaying the first hierarchy 61a of the telephone directory memory 61, the telephone directory transmission control means 5a sets the representative setting of the corresponding telephone number. Phone number is stored in the second layer 61
b) to perform a calling process by reading from the telephone number b.
When one is selected and designated by a key operation, control for reading out the designated telephone number from the second hierarchy 61b and performing a calling process is selectively executed.

When an incoming message arrives, the caller information display control means 5b stores the name and attribute information corresponding to the caller number (calling number) included in the incoming message in the second layer of the telephone directory. The control is performed to read the information from the display 61b and display it on the display unit 54.

Next, the operation of the apparatus configured as described above will be described. First, a call is made using the telephone directory as follows. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the control procedure and control contents. That is, when the display operation of the telephone directory is performed, the control unit 5 first reads the name stored in the first hierarchy 61a from the telephone directory memory 61 in a predetermined unit in step 6a, and displays the name on the display unit 54. For example,
If the names are stored and managed in alphabetical order, "A"
It is read out and displayed for each line of "f", "sa", "ta", "na", ....

In this state, it is assumed that the user performs a key operation for displaying another name that is not displayed on the display unit 54, for example. Then, the control unit 5 detects this operation in step 6b and shifts to step 6c, where it performs control for displaying a name not yet displayed on the display 54 in accordance with the key operation. For example, when another line is designated by a numeric key, a name corresponding to the designated line is displayed. When the cursor key 532 is operated, the names not displayed are sequentially displayed by scroll display.

The desired name is displayed in a focused state (for example, highlighted display) by the above selection operation. In this state, the user operates the off-hook key (call key).
It is assumed that 536 has been operated. Then, the control unit 5 detects the operation of the transmission key in step 6d, and in step 6e
Move to Then, among the plurality of telephone numbers corresponding to the focused name, the representatively set telephone number is read out from the second hierarchy 61b of the telephone directory memory 61, and the representative telephone number is set as the transmission destination. The transmission process is executed in step 6f. Thus, in this case, the outgoing call is made only by designating the name of the first hierarchy 61a without displaying the telephone number of the second hierarchy 61b and performing the designation operation.

On the other hand, when making a call to a telephone number other than the representatively set telephone number, the user operates the yes key 533. Then, the control unit 5 proceeds from step 6d to step 6g, where the telephone number corresponding to the focused name is stored in the second hierarchical level 6.
1b and displayed on the display unit 54. When the cursor key 532 is operated in this state, the focus position moves between telephone numbers in step 6i.

Then, the telephone number to be called is selected,
In other words, the telephone number to be called is focused, and when the user presses the call key 536 in this state,
The control unit 5 proceeds to step 6j, reads the telephone number selected here, and executes a calling process with the read telephone number as a destination in step 6k. In this way, a call can be made arbitrarily to a telephone number other than the representative telephone number.

Next, the display operation of the caller information at the time of an incoming call will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the control procedure and control contents. That is, the control unit 5 monitors the arrival of the incoming call in step 7a. When an incoming message arrives in this state, first, in step 7b, it is determined whether or not the calling number is inserted in the incoming message. If the calling number has not been inserted as a result of this determination, the process proceeds to step 7j, where a sound is generated from the sounder 51 or the vibrator 52 is driven, for example, to notify only the incoming call.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the calling number is inserted in the incoming message. In this case, the control unit 5 determines in step 7c
And extract the calling number from the incoming message, and step 7
By searching the second hierarchy 61b of the telephone directory memory 61 with d, it is determined whether or not a telephone number that matches the received calling number is registered. If the result of this determination is that a matching telephone number has not been registered, the process proceeds to step 7f, where an incoming call notification is made and the received calling number is displayed on the display unit 54.

On the other hand, it is assumed that a telephone number matching the received calling number is registered in telephone directory memory 61. In this case, the control unit 5 proceeds to step 7g and
The corresponding name is read from the hierarchy 61a. Further, in step 7h, the corresponding attribute information is read from the second hierarchy 61b. Then, in step 7i, an incoming call notification is made, and the read out name and attribute information are displayed on the display unit 54.

For example, if it is assumed that the received calling number matches the telephone number of A shown in FIG. 5, the display unit 54 displays the name shown in B, that is, "Ichiro Tokyo", and the attribute information shown in C, that is, "Mobile" is displayed. Therefore, the user can clearly know not only the name of the caller but also where the caller originated from the attribute information when receiving the call.

As described above, in this embodiment, one of a plurality of telephone numbers corresponding to each name is set as the representative number in the telephone directory memory 61, and the name is selected and designated as the transmission destination. In such a case, the representative telephone number is read and transmitted. For this reason, the user can make a call simply by specifying the name, and as a result, the call operation can be performed in comparison with the conventional device in which the call cannot be made without selecting one of the telephone numbers after selecting the name. Can be simplified. In addition, if necessary, the user can select any telephone number and make a call to the specified telephone number as the destination, so the user can call any telephone number desired by the user. It is.

The second hierarchy 61b of the telephone directory memory 61
Since the representative setting information registration area is provided in the registration area, and the user arbitrarily registers the representative setting information in the registration area corresponding to the desired telephone number, the representative setting for the telephone number is changed according to a change in the usage pattern. can do.

Further, in this embodiment, the telephone directory memory 6
1, the attribute information is registered in association with each telephone number, and when a calling number is notified upon receiving an incoming call, the name and attribute corresponding to the received calling number are stored in the telephone directory memory 61.
And search and display each. Therefore, the user can know not only the name of the caller but also whether the caller has made a call from the office, home, or mobile phone. Thus, for example, when making a return call, the caller is present. It can be accurately transmitted to the place.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a predetermined area of a plurality of directory information storage areas corresponding to each name is fixedly determined in advance as a representative number registration area. In this way, the registration area of the representative setting information from the second hierarchy 61b can be made unnecessary.

In the above embodiment, the first level 61a
And the information of the second hierarchy 61b are separately displayed on the display unit 54.
However, when the display screen of the display unit 54 is large, the information of the two layers 61a and 61b may be displayed in an interlocked manner on the same screen. In this case, if the call key is operated while the name is selected and specified, a call is made to the representative phone number as the call destination, while if the call key is operated while one of the multiple phone numbers is selected and specified, the call This embodiment is similar to the above-described embodiment in that the transmission is performed with the telephone number set as the transmission destination.

In addition, the number of registered directory information per one name, the contents of attribute information, the memory configuration of the telephone directory memory 61, the control procedures of the telephone directory transmission control means and the caller information display control means and the control contents thereof The type and configuration of the mobile communication terminal device can be variously modified without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0054]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, one of a plurality of directory information for each name stored in the second hierarchy of the electronic telephone directory is set as the representative information, and When one of the names being displayed is specified as the transmission destination during the display of the hierarchy, the directory information set as the representative information among the plurality of directory information corresponding to the specified name is transferred to the second hierarchy. Selectively read from
An originating process is performed with the representative directory information as the originating destination.

In addition, when one of the displayed directory information is specified during the display of the second hierarchy, a transmission process is performed with the specified directory information as a transmission destination. It was done.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to make outgoing calls selectively from both the first level and the second level, thereby further simplifying the outgoing operation using the electronic telephone directory and improving operability. A mobile communication terminal device having an improved electronic telephone directory can be provided.

On the other hand, in another invention, in addition to the electronic telephone directory,
Attribute storage means for storing information representing the attribute of the directory information in association with each of the directory information stored in the second hierarchy of the electronic telephone directory is provided, and the directory information of the caller is notified when an incoming call is received. In this case, it is determined whether or not the notified directory information is stored in the second hierarchy of the electronic telephone directory. If the directory information is stored, information indicating a name and an attribute corresponding to the directory information is determined. Are read from the first layer and the attribute storage means and displayed.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when notifying a user of a caller's name at the time of an incoming call using a built-in electronic phonebook, the user can identify the caller more clearly. A mobile communication terminal device provided with the same can be provided.
