The incoming call display determination program 114b in FIG. 9 will be described. The incoming call display determination program 114b has a function of determining whether the telephone directory has not been registered at the time of incoming call, a function of determining whether or not a caller ID has been notified, a function of measuring a ringing time, and a function of determining whether or not the call is rejected. When not registering, with caller ID notification, ringing time is as short as about 1 second, and when receiving a call from a call rejection set partner, do not display the incoming call on the display unit and do not record it in the incoming call history Function. Here, the call rejection setting partner refers to a partner registered in the call rejection group 805 and the call rejection phonebook file 705 in the present invention. The description will be given according to the steps in FIG. When an incoming call is received in S902, it is determined in S903 whether the telephone directory is not registered. In the case of YES, it is determined whether or not there is a caller ID notification in S904. If YES, the calling time is measured in S905. Incoming calls are not displayed and are not recorded in the incoming call history file. If the determination in S903 is NO (the telephone directory is registered), it is determined whether the incoming call rejection is set in S907. If the answer is NO (no incoming call rejection setting), the incoming call is displayed and recorded in the incoming call history file. If YES in step S907 (incoming call rejection is set), the process advances to step S906. This incoming call display determination program allows the caller to immediately (less than one second) send a call to an unspecified number of mobile phones, and to display "Incoming phone number 03-xxxxxx" on the display of the other mobile phone. `` ○○○○ '' is displayed and the incoming call is not displayed or recorded in the incoming call history file for the purpose of blocking commercial activities that disturb the public order and morals of the person who made the return call. It is something that is not to be applied.
[0035]
In this description, the meaning of "set in advance" is described unified at the time of shipment from the factory, but may be set after purchase by the user. Further, even if the procedure of the judgment of the incoming call display judgment program 114b is different from this description, the result is the same, so the procedure is not specified.
[0036]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to create a telephone directory file according to the size of registered contents. When the registered content is large, it can be recorded in the format "large", when it is medium, it can be recorded in "medium", and when it is small, it can be recorded in "small". In this way, the capacity required for 500,000 characters in the past can be reduced to about 150,000 characters in the present invention. The memory of a mobile phone is one of the expensive components, and reducing the memory capacity is a great effect in reducing costs or increasing efficiency. Another feature is that even if the registered content of the format "large" is infinitely increased, only the capacity of the format "large" is increased and the overall size is not significantly increased. In addition, registration to the secret phonebook file, secret group, call rejection phonebook file, call rejection group, call acceptance phonebook file, and call acceptance group can be registered by simply selecting them as they are. There is no need to enter a PIN. In addition, since these registrations are collectively recorded in one file, they can be displayed in a list, so that they are easy to use. In addition, the latest records of outgoing calls and incoming calls are displayed for each registrant of the telephone directory, so that regular contact can be made. In addition, it is possible to avoid an incorrect call to a so-called "one-call call" from an unknown party.
