DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a first embodiment relating to a communication device according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
The first embodiment has substantially the same shape as a telephone with a display screen, and a handset 2 is connected to a main body 1. The receiver 2 may be a normal so-called cordless one. In the same manner as a normal telephone, when there is an incoming call, the telephone is connected by removing the handset 2 to enable a telephone conversation. Color high definition LCD screen 3a
Is composed of a liquid crystal display device or the like, is rotatable with respect to the main body 1, and can be tilted along the main body 1 or stand up as shown in FIG. The "large screen display unit" in the present invention means a particularly large display unit in comparison with a display unit in a normal mobile phone, and is, for example, about 5 inches. There is no problem in nature. At the center of the upper end of the large screen display unit 3, a detachable digital camera 4 is installed.

The communication device in FIG. 1 is configured to perform communication based on a portable telephone system through an antenna 5 instead of communication using a normal telephone line. Therefore,
Communication can be performed from anywhere regardless of the location of the modular jack of the telephone line in the house, and various services provided by the mobile phone system can be received in the same manner as the mobile phone. For example, an electronic mail can be exchanged using the numeric keypad 6 and the large screen display unit 3, or music content can be distributed and played back by the stereo speaker 7 or the like. Further, it is also possible to transmit an image captured by the digital camera 4 and enjoy a videophone call with the digital camera 4, the built-in microphone 8, and the stereo speaker 7. It should be noted that voice exchange in a videophone is also possible with the receiver 2. When a call is made between the built-in microphone 8 and the stereo speaker 7 with the receiver 2 left, the transmission / reception button 9 is pressed at the time of an incoming call or transmission.
The stereo speaker 7 also generates a telephone ring tone.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the large-screen display unit 3 is extremely large and easy to see, and the receiver 2 and the large-screen display unit 3 are separated from each other when compared with a normal mobile phone. Therefore, it is possible to talk on the handset 2 while looking at the large screen display unit 3. Further, the user can operate the numeric keypad 6 while receiving the navigation by voice about the usage from the receiver 2, and confirm the result on the large screen display unit 3. On the other hand, even when compared with a telephone using a normal telephone line, as described above, it is useful in that it can be used anywhere and can receive various services. In addition, if the mobile phone service is used, packet communication is possible, so that it is possible to enjoy the advantage of the charge when the mobile phone service is used in the always-on state.

The charging cord 10 is connected to a commercial power supply line by a plug 10a and has an AC adapter 10b. Since the main body 1 has a built-in battery, it is needless to say that the charging cord 10 can be removed and carried to an arbitrary place in a charged state.

The power switch 11 is turned on when waiting for an incoming call, and remains on when used as a normal telephone. In the incoming call waiting state in which the power switch 11 is turned on, the display on the large screen display unit 3 is not performed, and the entire communication device is also in the minimum power consumption state.
From this state, when the receiver 2 is picked up, the transmission / reception button 9 is pressed, or one of the ten keys 6 is pressed, or one of the scroll dial 100, the left shift button 101, and the right shift button 102 is operated. The communication device immediately rises and becomes active, and the display on the large screen display unit 3 starts. In either case,
The large-screen display unit 3 displays an initial menu screen.

The scroll dial 100 is rotatable in the vertical direction. By rotating the scroll dial 100, screen scrolling in the vertical direction, menu selection in the vertical direction, icon selection in the vertical direction, and the like are performed. By pressing the scroll dial 100, the selection is determined. The left shift button 101 is
A predetermined amount of screen scrolling to the left, menu shifting to the left, icon shifting to the left, and the like are performed. The right shift button 102 performs a predetermined amount of screen scrolling to the right, menu shifting to the right, icon shifting to the right, and the like for each one push.

An end button 103 is used to return the communication device from a rising state to a state waiting for an incoming call. The return to the incoming call waiting state can also be performed by operating the menu using the scroll dial 100. Also, the communication device returns from the rising state to the incoming call waiting state by dropping the receiver 2 that has been mentioned.

When the help button 104 is pressed when the operation of the communication device is not understood, navigation by voice can be received. Note that navigation by voice is automatically performed not only when a help button is pressed but also in a normal operation flow. Details of these will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the first embodiment. In the function unit 19,
The central control unit 20 controls the operation of the entire communication device and controls transmission of signals in the device. The transmission / reception unit 21 has a function similar to that of a main part of a normal mobile phone, and performs communication or data exchange with the outside via the antenna 5. The central control unit 20 includes a non-volatile semiconductor memory 20a. The operation of the central control unit is controlled by a system program stored in the semiconductor memory 20a, and communication recording is also performed by the semiconductor memory 20a. It responds promptly when the power is turned on or an incoming call is received. The hard disk device 22 has a larger capacity than the memory 20a of the central control unit 20, and backs up the operation program of the central control unit and stores additional programs. The hard disk device 22 further automatically backs up communication records and download information from the semiconductor memory at the end of communication, and secures the capacity of the semiconductor memory at the next communication. The automatic backup of the hard disk drive 22 may be performed periodically, or may be used together with the automatic backup at the end of the communication. The hard disk device 22 is useful for downloading and recording a large-capacity file such as image information and music content through communication.

The audio processing section 23 processes a high-quality audio signal according to a normal audio device, and makes the communication device of the present invention also function as an audio device. When the audio operation unit 24a of the operation unit 24 is operated, the music content downloaded to the hard disk device 22 is processed by the audio processing unit 23 via the central control unit 20, and high-quality sound reproduction by the stereo speakers 7 is started. The operation unit 24 also includes the numeric keypad 6, the transmission / reception button 9, the power switch 11, and the like in FIG. Note that the audio operation unit 24a may be a dedicated operation unit, but may be replaced with a normal telephone operation unit such as the numeric keypad 6.

When the communication device of the present invention is also made to function as an audio device, the large-screen display unit 3 is also used as a control screen when music content is reproduced by the audio device, and the music stored in the hard disk device 22 A content menu screen or the like is displayed.

The microphone 8 is also connected to the audio processing unit 23, and is used for inputting music contents with high sound quality.
Even when speaking away from the computer, noise is reduced and audio signals are extracted. The display control unit 25 controls the display on the large screen display unit 3 in various modes based on the image data sent from the central control unit 20 and the control from the central control unit. FIGS. 3 to 12 show the controlled display modes.
Will be described later.

The display control section 25 is further provided with a smoothing processing section 25a. Smoothing processing unit 2
5a, when the image of the mobile phone service received by the transmission / reception unit 21 is sent via the central processing unit 20, the image is interpolated between pixels and displayed on the large screen display unit 3 as a smooth image. The image of the mobile phone service is originally created on the assumption that the image is displayed on a small screen of the mobile phone, and the number of pixels used is small. Therefore, if this signal is displayed on the large screen display unit 3 as it is, a very jagged and very hard to see screen is obtained. In order to avoid this, the smoothing processing unit 25a stores the pixels and displays them on the large-screen display unit 3 based on the image signal provided by the mobile phone service so that lines and density changes and color tone changes have continuity. This is to ensure that there is no discomfort. The code information such as characters in the e-mail has the same amount of information even when it is displayed on the large screen display unit 3, so that the interpolation processing of the display information itself is not necessary. It becomes a problem to handle. The smoothing processing unit 25a performs smoothing processing by detecting, from the various information sent from the mobile phone service, information that would be difficult to display if it was sent to the large screen display unit 3 as it was left to the display driver, Smoothing processing is not performed on information that does not require processing such as code information.

Further, the central processing unit 20 to the large screen display unit 3
The image signal sent to the e-mail is not only from the mobile phone service, but also does not require a smoothing process such as a high-quality image attached to an e-mail. The smoothing processing unit 25a is configured to automatically perform a predetermined smoothing process when it identifies that the image is a mobile phone service image according to the control from the central processing unit 20 that determines the property of the image signal. . Thereby, the large screen display unit 3
Thus, an image that does not cause a sense of incongruity is always displayed regardless of the nature of the displayed image.

The power supply unit 26 supplies power to the functional unit 19 from a commercial power supply line normally supplied from the charging cord 10 via the AC adapter 10b. The battery 27 provided in the power supply unit 26 is charged by the charging cord 10, and when the charging cord 10 is removed, power is supplied from the battery 27 to the functional unit 19.

The image sent from the mobile phone service is usually vertically long. On the other hand, the large screen display section 3 of the present invention is configured to be horizontally long. At the time of display, as shown in FIG. 3, the high-definition liquid crystal display screen 3a of the large screen display unit 3 is divided into a portion A1 and a remaining portion A2 similar in shape to the portrait image information sent from the mobile phone service. In the part A2, additional information such as usage navigation information and clock information is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG.
Is divided into two vertically long screens A3 and A4, and information for two screens is stored, so that two images sent from the mobile phone service are displayed side by side.

In the case of code information such as characters, there is no restriction on the portrait screen and landscape screen, so when displaying information such as e-mail, the mail displayed as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the display may be performed using the entire horizontal screen of the high-definition liquid crystal display screen 3a. In this case, the display control unit is provided with text information processing means,
Performs line feed processing according to the landscape screen.

Further, even if the screen transmitted from the mobile phone service is a portrait screen, as shown in FIG.
In some cases, it is necessary to scroll the screen upward with the scroll dial 100 in order to see the whole body with the runner's feet hidden. In this case, the entire image cannot be originally viewed at the same time. Therefore, even if the transmitted screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 8 on the entire landscape screen, the necessary scroll amount is large, but there is no problem in usability when viewing the entire screen. On the other hand, for screens that do not need to be displayed at the same time, such as game screens,
As shown in FIG. 3, the user cannot enjoy the service unless the landscape screen is divided and a part of the landscape screen is displayed in the same portrait orientation as the layout in the mobile phone service. Since the screens sent in this way have different properties in use depending on their uses, the attributes of those screens are detected and the usage of the landscape screen is automatically switched as appropriate.

As described above, the advantage of the landscape screen can be utilized according to the information from the mobile phone service. However, as a modified embodiment, it goes without saying that the large-screen display unit 3 can be configured to be vertically long according to the image of the mobile phone service.

The landscape screen in the present invention takes into consideration not only the case of reception described above but also the case of transmission. For example, it is assumed that FIG. 6 is a mail created for transmission. If the receiving side is also a communication device having a large screen display unit according to the present invention, FIG.
The mail is displayed in the same layout as. On the other hand, when the receiving side is an ordinary mobile phone, the layout of the mail changes as shown in FIG. If there is no problem, a mail is created using the entire landscape screen as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the transmission destination is a normal mobile phone and the user wants to compose a mail with the same layout as displayed on the screen of the destination, the display mode as shown in FIG. A mail is created in a screen A1 similar to the portrait display of the mobile phone. Such a display mode can be manually selected arbitrarily. On the other hand, when it is possible to automatically identify whether the transmission destination is a normal mobile phone or a communication device having a large-screen display unit according to the present invention, based on the assigned telephone number division or separate identification information, If the mode is set to be invariable, the mail creation screen will be displayed in accordance with FIG. 6 and FIG.
Automatically switches between For example, when the first digit is “0”, a normal mobile phone is used, and when the first digit is “1”, a communication device having a large screen display unit is used.

The configuration in which a normal portable telephone or a communication device having a large-screen display unit according to the present invention can be identified by the division of telephone numbers or separate identification information has the following advantages. In other words, in the mobile phone service, when a service dedicated to a communication device having a large screen display unit according to the present invention is provided, the service to be distributed is made different according to the classification of the telephone number to be accessed or the separate identification information. be able to. For example, in the case of access from a communication device having a large screen display unit, two types of images for a normal mobile phone and a high definition image for a communication device having a large screen display unit are prepared in the same service content. Distributes high-definition images with large amounts of data. Also, in the distribution of ringtones, since the communication device having the large-screen display unit of the present invention supports audio signal processing of high sound quality, it delivers sound source content with a large data amount.

Further, in a normal mobile phone service,
When the image data and the text data are laid out vertically as shown in FIG. 9, the image data and the text data are displayed on the color high-definition liquid crystal display screen 3a of the large screen display section of the present invention as shown in FIG. It can be laid out and displayed horizontally. In this case, when the communication device having the large screen display unit receives image data having such a structure, the display control unit 25 can be configured to automatically change the layout on the communication device side.

If it is possible to identify whether the mobile phone is a normal mobile phone or a communication device having a large-screen display according to the present invention by the classification of the telephone number or the separate identification information, the transmission side is vertically stacked as shown in FIG. Or a layout arranged side by side as shown in FIG.

The display control mode shown in FIG. 11 corresponds to a cellular phone service content composed of a plurality of screens. The example shown in FIG. 11 is a content composed of nine screens, and the first screen is a menu screen for the other eight screens. In a normal mobile phone service, a menu screen is displayed first, and then a screen selected from the menu is displayed. However, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 11, after all the data corresponding to the nine screens are received and downloaded to the memory 20a, the entire high-definition liquid crystal display screen 3a of the large screen display unit 3 is used. A list of nine screens is displayed. Since the absolute size of each screen is large enough to be seen on the display unit of a normal mobile phone, it is legible. In this way,
The contents of the eight menus can be understood all at once.

The service content information can be grasped in the same manner as in a normal mobile phone even if the screen shown in FIG. 11 is kept. However, after the display in FIG. When an item is selected, as shown in FIG. 12, a portion A5 of the high-definition liquid crystal display screen 3a is displayed.
Then, the selected menu item is enlarged and displayed in a similar manner. A list display similar to that of FIG. 11 is performed on the remaining portion A6. In this case, all the menu items are not displayed, but can be selectively browsed by scrolling with the scroll dial 100 or the like. Even from the state of FIG.
When a desired menu item is selected by the ten keys 6, the screen enlarged and displayed in the portion A1 is replaced.

According to the present invention, by utilizing the large-screen display unit 3, various display control modes as described above become possible, and information can be collected more flexibly than with a normal mobile phone. Become. Also, since the communication device of the present invention has a large capacity hard disk device 22 built in the communication device, if the game device connection terminal communicating with the central control unit 20 is provided on the outer wall of the main body 1, the hard disk device can be provided. Reference numeral 22 functions as a storage location for the game software. As for game software, distribution via the Internet has been proposed, and game software received through a mobile phone is stored in a game machine hard disk device connectable to the game machine. If the communication device of the present invention is provided with a connection terminal for a game machine so that the game software can be stored in the hard disk device 22, the game software received by the transmission / reception section 21 is directly stored in the hard disk device 22 without any connection operation. It is only necessary to connect the game machine to the communication device of the present invention when enjoying the game. It should be noted that the billing for the distribution of the game software is processed based on a normal mobile phone service system. Further, in the case where a game machine connection terminal is provided in order to cope with copyright, the hard disk device 22 is provided with an unauthorized copy prevention device. Such an unauthorized copy protection device is effective not only for game software but also for receiving distribution of music content.

Similarly to the above, it is the same as a television having a built-in mobile phone function. Note that, in the sixth embodiment in FIG. 17, no communication signal is carried on the power supply line 73, and only a sound image signal of a television is carried.

FIG. 18 is a front view showing a seventh embodiment of the present invention. In the seventh embodiment, the television 80 is exactly the same as a normal television. A mobile phone 82 is connected to an AV terminal 81 of the television 80, and an image signal is displayed on a screen 83 of the television 80. The mobile phone 82 is provided with a minimum necessary smoothing processing unit, and a signal obtained by interpolating between pixels as necessary so as to be suitable for display on a television is transmitted from an AV output terminal 83.

As described above, in the seventh embodiment shown in FIG. 18, the television 83 itself has a large screen in a form similar to the fourth to sixth embodiments without any substantial change. Mobile phone service is available. FIG. 19 is a front view showing an eighth embodiment of the present invention. A television 90 according to the eighth embodiment is basically the same as the fourth embodiment in FIG. 15, and includes a mobile phone function as in FIG. 2 and a large screen in FIG. The display screen 3 also serves as a television screen 61. Although not shown, the television remote control 63 as shown in FIG.
The same applies to the point that is also used for the operation of the mobile phone function in.

The television 90 in the eighth embodiment shown in FIG. 19 is further provided with a short-range radio wave communication function. The indoor antenna 91 of the television is also used as the antenna 5 in FIG. It transmits and receives the radio wave 92 and is also used as an antenna for short-range radio communication. The mobile phone 93 receives and transmits a radio wave 94 of a mobile phone service as a normal mobile phone, has a short-range radio communication function, and communicates with the television 90 via an antenna 91 by a short-range communication radio wave 95. The short-range communication radio wave 95 is dedicated to communication between the television 90 and the mobile phone 93, and is not communication via a mobile phone service.

The short-range radio communication between the television 90 having a built-in mobile phone function and the mobile phone 93 is performed first by the mobile phone 93.
Function like a cordless telephone handset for the television 90. That is, the mobile phone 93 functions outdoors as a telephone having an independent telephone number, and indoors,
As a slave unit of the television 90, communication using the telephone number of the television 90 is possible. The mobile phone 93 is a television 90
Can also function as a remote control operation unit.

Next, a television 9 with a built-in mobile phone function
0 and the mobile phone 93 are connected to the mobile phone 9
It is possible to see the communication contents by the telephone number 3 on the television screen 61 of the television 90. Functionally, the configuration is the same as that of the seventh embodiment shown in FIG. However, in the case of the eighth embodiment shown in FIG. 19, since the television 90 is provided with a smoothing means, the mobile phone 93 does not need to be provided with a smoothing processing unit.

Although the television 90 itself has a built-in portable telephone function, the reason why the communication contents of the portable telephone 93 can be further viewed on the television screen 61 is as follows. First, since mobile phones have become widespread, there is also a mobile phone 93 in a household having a TV 90 with a built-in mobile phone function, and a contract for content supply has already been made depending on the phone number. Conceivable. In this case, if the service provided by the number of the mobile phone 93 cannot be viewed on the television screen 61, it is necessary to separately contract the same content supply based on the telephone number of the television 90, and the contract fee is reduced. Needed twice. On the other hand, if configured as in the eighth embodiment, the contents of the content contracted by the mobile phone 93 can be viewed on a large screen, and the spread of communication devices such as the television 90 can be promoted.

When the user wants to communicate on a large screen with a communication partner registered in the telephone directory of the mobile phone 93 but not registered in the television 90, the television 90 inputs a new telephone number and performs communication. Rather, it is much more efficient to perform one-touch communication from the mobile phone 93 side. This is the same for the URL when connecting to the Internet. In this way, the configuration of the eighth embodiment can also promote the spread of communication devices such as the television 90 in the registration of the numbers required for communication.

In the eighth embodiment shown in FIG. 19, as described above, communication is performed using a large screen with a communication partner registered in the mobile phone 93 but not registered in the television 90. At this time, when communication is performed from the mobile phone 93, the telephone number or URL of the communication partner is copied from the mobile phone 93 to the telephone directory of the television 90 via the short-range communication radio wave 95. This makes it possible to directly make a call from the television 90 side with one touch when communicating with the same party using the large screen next time.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the operation when the communication device starts up from the incoming call waiting state in which the power switch 11 is turned on in the first embodiment in FIG. By turning on the power switch 11, step S
The flow starts at 1 and waits for a rising signal at step S2. This state is also a communication waiting state. The hard disk drive 22 is not activated in the incoming call waiting state in which only the power switch 11 is turned on.

When the receiver 2 is picked up, the transmission / reception button 9 is pressed, or one of the ten keys 6 is pressed, or one of the scroll dial 100, the left shift button 101 and the right shift button 102 is operated, A rise signal is generated, and the flow proceeds to step S3.
Proceed to. In step S3, the communication device immediately rises and becomes active, displays the initial menu on the large screen display unit 3, and starts the hard disk device 22.

The frequently used function is not the hard disk device 22 but the non-volatile semiconductor memory 20a so that the initial menu or the like is immediately activated in step S3.
It is operated by the program stored in. On the other hand, the additional programs and data stored in the hard disk device 22 are sequentially written into the RAM of the central control unit after the activation of the hard disk device 22 in step S3.
Since these additional programs and data are less likely to be used immediately after the start of the communication device, the writing to the RAM has been completed at the time of use, and the possibility that the user has to wait is extremely small. In other words, the hard disk device 22 is always started at the time of start-up of the communication device in step S3, regardless of whether the additional program or data is used, regardless of whether the additional program or data is used. The writing to these RAMs has been completed in advance and can function immediately. In this manner, the communication device of the present invention can use the apparently necessary functions immediately and does not have the waiting time required when starting up the personal computer. When the number of additional programs and data becomes large, selection of high priority additional programs and data is performed in accordance with the nature or frequency of use, and when starting up the hard disk drive 22, only the preselected additional programs and data are used. Is written in the RAM.
Accordingly, the unselected additional programs and data are accessed at each time of use and written to the RAM.

In steps S4 and S5, it is checked what caused the rise signal. First, in step S4, it is checked whether or not an operation of the communication device has been performed, such as picking up the receiver 2 in response to an incoming call. If there is no incoming call, step S5
Scroll dial 100, left shift button 1
It is checked whether an activation signal has been generated by operating the menu key such as 01 and the right shift button 102. If the operation is a menu key operation, step S
Proceed to 6.

In step S6, it is checked whether or not the rising signal has occurred for the first time on that day. More specifically, the history of the start-up signal is left in the communication device, and if the date changes and there is no start-up signal generation history before the elapse of a predetermined time equivalent to bedtime, etc., the first start-up of the day is performed. It is determined that it is a signal. If the signal is a rising signal at the beginning of the day, the process proceeds to step S7, and a contact announcement is made.

In addition to greetings such as "Good morning," contact announcements are short announcements such as "It's fine to say today.""It'scool." Yes, it randomly selects and combines announcement data from a large number of announcement data prepared in a database to produce unexpectedness every day.
When making a combination announcement, a certain pause is set so that the connection between one announcement unit and the next announcement unit does not seem breathless. In this pose, a natural length that differs depending on the content of the announcement to be combined is determined in advance, and the announcement continues without a pause depending on the combination. In addition, the calendar information held by the communication device, the weather information received by the communication device, and the control information such as the temperature sensor or the humidity sensor provided in the communication device are fully mobilized, so that the selection and combination of unsteady announcements are eliminated. Control so that This contact announcement is especially useful for single families,
If unnecessary, the mode can be changed to a mode in which no announcement is made.

When the contact announcement is completed, the process proceeds to step S8, where a cursor stop interrupt described later is enabled, and a termination interrupt described later is enabled in step S9.
In step S10, a standby state for waiting for the next operation is entered. Returning to step S4, when the start-up signal is generated to respond to the incoming call, the user is interested in the reception and the announcement is troublesome, so that the process immediately jumps to step S9. In step S5, if the start signal is not generated by the menu key, it corresponds to the case where the handset 2 is picked up, the transmission / reception button 9 is pressed, or the numeric keypad 6 is pressed. Since the user is about to make a phone call, no annoying announcement is made and the process immediately jumps to step S8. Furthermore, even if the start signal is generated by pressing the menu key,
If it is not the first time of the day, no announcement is made and the process immediately jumps to step S8. In this way, careless announcements are prohibited, and the rareness and freshness of the contact announcements are maintained.

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the operation when the communication device returns from the start-up state to the incoming call waiting state due to a termination interrupt. Lift the handset 2, press the end button 103, or press the scroll dial 10
When the menu ending operation by 0 is performed, step S1 is performed.
1 is interrupted, and the process proceeds to step S12. In step S12, the communication record of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory 20a after the start-up signal is generated is automatically backed up to the hard disk device 22. As described above, in the first embodiment, a communication record including a program and data newly downloaded through communication is first stored in the nonvolatile semiconductor memory 20a. These are backed up in the hard disk device 22 in step S12.

In step S13, it is checked whether or not the backup has been completed. If not, the process returns to step S12 to continue the backup operation. If the end of the backup is confirmed in step S13, the communication record that has been backed up is deleted from the semiconductor memory 20a in step S14 to secure the capacity for the next communication. Thereafter, in step S15, the hard disk device is stopped, and in step S15, a process for putting the communication device in a call waiting state is performed, and in step S17, the process stands by.

In the above description, the communication record backup in step S12 is performed by applying the end interrupt of step S11. However, the communication record backup may be performed periodically even without the end interrupt. Periodic communication record backup may be used together with communication record backup by a termination interrupt. In the case of such a combination,
Since only the communication records that have been backed up by the regular backup are backed up in step S12, the transition time to step S14 is reduced.

Is pressed, the cursor first moves to position 21 surrounding B 210
1 and then press the right shift button 102, C
Move to the position 212 surrounding the user 209. When the cursor stops at the position 212 surrounding Mr. C, an announcement "Call Mr. C" is made. When the scroll dial 100 is pressed, the other party is determined, and if the other party is a videophone, an announcement "Do you want to use a TV phone?" On the other hand, scroll dial 10
When 0 is pressed, a call is started in the videophone mode, and the digital camera 4 in FIG. 1 starts operating. When the call is connected, the face of the other party is displayed on the large screen display unit 3, and the face of the user captured by the digital camera 4 is sent to the other party. In the videophone mode, an end button is displayed on the screen. If you select this by rotating the scroll dial 100, an announcement "Do you want to end?" Is made. It takes.

It should be noted that, when a new dial is made and a call is made instead of the registration screen shown in FIG.
When the end button displayed on the screen is operated with the scroll dial, an announcement "Do you want to register the other party's phone number?" When the registration is confirmed with the scroll dial 100, an input screen appears, and each time an input item is selected with the scroll dial 100, "gender?""Adult?Child?" Please provide a commentary on the contents of the input request items such as "Please." The partner registered in this way appears on the partner selection screen of FIG. 23 from the next time.

On the other hand, in FIG. 22, when the cursor 204 is moved to the position 203 surrounding the mail icon 205 and stopped, an announcement saying “Do you want to use for mail?” Is made. On the other hand, when the scroll dial 100 is pressed, the menu is determined, and the screen shifts to the mail menu screen of FIG. A transmission icon 213 and a reception icon 214 are displayed on the mail menu screen. When the cursor 215 is moved to a position surrounding the reception icon 214 and stopped, for example, an announcement “3 new mails have arrived. On the other hand, when the scroll dial 100 is pressed, the menu is determined and the screen shifts to the received mail list screen of FIG.

On the received mail list screen, when the cursor 216 is moved to a position surrounding Mr. C 217 and stopped, an announcement "From Mr. C." is made. On the other hand, when the scroll dial 100 is pressed, the screen shifts to a mail content display screen. An end button is displayed on the e-mail content display screen. When the end button is selected with the scroll dial 100 after reading the e-mail, an announcement "Do you want to reply" is made. On the other hand, by rotating the scroll dial 100, "YE
When "S" is selected, the screen shifts to the mail menu screen of FIG. At this time, the cursor 215 moves to the transmission icon 213.
It is in the position surrounding. After this, a reply text is created and transmitted, but the procedure for transmission is almost the same as that for making a telephone call, and a description thereof will be omitted. On the other hand, when the scroll dial 100 is rotated and “NO” is selected in response to the announcement “Do you want to reply”, the screen returns to the received mail list screen in FIG. At this time, the cursor 216
Other than, for example, around A 218,
From. Is announced.

FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the operation of the first embodiment when a cursor stop interrupt is issued, and is used to perform voice navigation without inconveniencing the user. The cursor stop interrupt occurs when the cursor moves and stops. For example, in FIG.
When the operation stops at step 5, a cursor stop interrupt is generated. Note that, not only when the cursor is stopped after the cursor movement in the same screen, but also when the communication device starts up and the initial menu screen of FIG. 22 is displayed, or when the screen shifts from FIG. 22 to FIG. A stop interrupt occurs.
At this time, it is considered that the cursor has stopped on the icon surrounded by the cursor on the new screen. At the time of the cursor stop interruption, it is also identified on which icon the interruption of the cursor has occurred due to the stop of the cursor, which is information for the subsequent processing.

When a cursor stop interrupt is issued in step S21, time counting is performed in step S22. In step S23, it is checked whether or not the cursor has been moved or the menu has been selected. If not, the process proceeds to step S24. Step S24
Checks whether 0.5 seconds have elapsed since the start of the time measurement. Until 0.5 seconds have elapsed, step S2
Steps S24 to S24 are repeated to continue the time counting. When 0.5 second has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S25, and it is checked whether an announcement has been made for the same cursor within the past hour.

If there is no history within the past hour, a commentary on the cursor is announced in step S26, and navigation of the operation by voice is performed. In step S27, it is checked whether the cursor has been moved or the menu selection has been confirmed after the voice navigation has started. If not, step S28
Proceed to. Step S24 is to check whether or not the announcement in the voice navigation has ended. Until the voice ends, steps S26 to S28 are repeated and the announcement is continued.

When the announcement of the voice navigation is completed, the flow advances to step S29 to enable the next cursor stop interruption. Further, in step S30, an interrupt by menu determination is enabled, and in step S31, an end interrupt is enabled, and in step S32, a standby state is entered.

Returning to step S23, if the cursor has moved, the process immediately jumps to step S29 and no announcement is made. This means that even if the cursor temporarily stops on a certain icon, if the cursor moves again within 0.5 seconds thereafter, voice navigation for the temporarily stopped cursor is not performed. For example, FIG.
In FIG. 2, the cursor 204 surrounding the telephone icon 200 is moved to a position 206 surrounding the news information icon 201.
To the position 2 surrounding the mail icon 203
05, if the stop time at the position 206 is within 0.5 second after, the news information icon 20
The announcement of the mail icon 203 is made for the first time after 0.5 seconds have elapsed since the cursor stopped at the position 205 without announcing the message 1
Make an announcement about The user originally intended to move the cursor to the mail icon 203,
Since the user is not interested in the news information icon 201, which is merely a passing point, this configuration enables voice navigation that is not bothersome to the user. Step S2
The "0.5 seconds" in the item No. 4 can be set to an arbitrary length according to the user's preference.

In step S23, even when the menu is confirmed, the process immediately jumps to step S29,
No announcements are made. The fact that the menu confirming operation is performed within 0.5 seconds after the cursor stops is because the user understands the meaning of the icon and does not need to perform voice navigation.

If there is any voice navigation history within the past hour in step S25, the process immediately jumps to step S29, and no announcement is made. This means that even if the cursor stops for more than 0.5 seconds on the icon for the final purpose that the user tried to move,
If voice navigation has been performed for the same icon within the time, it means that voice navigation is omitted to avoid complexity. It is not necessary to repeat the same voice navigation every time the cursor is moved to the same icon in a series of operations, and it is unpleasant and rather harmful to navigate repeatedly what is already known. “1 hour” in step S25
Is set to avoid repetitive announcements during a series of operations. This is not limited to “1 hour”, and can be set arbitrarily according to the user's preference. For example, if it is set to about 1 month, navigation is performed when the function is not used for a while and the function is forgotten.

Further, in step S27, when the cursor is moved or the menu is confirmed, the voice navigation is immediately interrupted, and step S27 is executed.
Fly to 29. In either case, the user does not need to hear any more voice navigation.

As described above, by providing steps S23, S25, and S27, voice navigation is reduced to the minimum necessary so that the user is not bothered. It should be noted that there may be a case where the user wants to receive voice navigation for a desired icon while voice navigation is being held down. In such a case, if the help button in FIG. 1 is pressed while the cursor is surrounding the icon, a help interrupt is activated, and an announcement about the icon is started regardless of steps S23, S25, and S27.

The above navigation function is not limited to the embodiment as a communication device having a display unit, but is widely useful in general consumer devices having a display unit capable of a graphical user interface. Further, the navigation is not limited to the voice, the embodiment is such that when a display symbol such as an icon required for navigation is indicated by an instruction symbol such as a cursor, a navigation text is visually displayed near the indicated display symbol. Is also good.

The large-screen display section of the present invention is not limited to the liquid crystal display device or the cathode-ray tube described in the above embodiments. For example, the communication device of the present invention may be built in or connected to a liquid crystal projector, and may be configured to project on a wall surface or a screen. Further, the communication device of the present invention may be built in or connected to the head mounted display device so as to view an aerial image on a large screen. In these cases, the device itself can be configured smaller than a large screen to be realized.

Further, the large screen display section of the present invention can be configured to also serve as the display screen of a car navigation device. In this case, the mobile phone service can be received on a large screen while moving, and if the mobile device of the present invention is configured as a car navigation device, information such as a map received via the mobile phone can be connected without any connection operation. Can be stored directly in the hard disk drive 22.
