Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to an improvement of a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone that realizes a chat function using electronic mail.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Recently, most mobile phones can send and receive e-mail. In such a mobile phone, a confirmation screen is usually displayed when an e-mail is received. The confirmation screen is for informing the user that the mail has been received, and is displayed for a certain period from when the reception of the email is completed.
[0003]
FIG. 7 is a view showing a display example of a confirmation screen at the time of mail reception in a conventional mobile phone. The reception completion screen C2 is a confirmation screen displayed when an e-mail is received, and is displayed for a predetermined display period, for example, about 30 seconds from the completion of mail reception unless the user inputs any operation. After the elapse of the display period, the screen returns to the screen before the reception completion screen C2 is displayed. On the other hand, if the user inputs an operation during the display period, the reception completion screen C2 can be closed when the operation is input, and the screen before the reception completion screen C2 is displayed can be returned.
[0004]
While the reception completion screen C2 is being displayed, it is possible to make a transition from the reception completion screen C2 to a browsing screen for browsing received mail. For this reason, the user can display the browsing screen, and can browse the body of the received mail that has triggered the display of the reception completion screen C2 with a simple operation. Furthermore, it is possible to create and send a reply mail whose destination is the sender of the received mail from the browsing screen.
[0005]
In the conventional mobile phone as described above, even when the application program that realizes various functions is activated by the user's operation input, the confirmation screen at the time of mail reception is displayed in the same manner as when it is not activated. . That is, even when a program for creating a new outgoing mail or editing sent / received e-mails is running, when such an application program is not running, for example, a standby screen is displayed. The confirmation screen at the time of mail reception was displayed as when it was in the middle. That is, although it is considered that the user is clearly watching the screen display, the confirmation screen is displayed in the same manner as when the user is not.
[0006]
In mobile phones that require downsizing, the display space is limited, so if a confirmation screen is displayed on the screen that displays the results of user operation input, most of the original screen is displayed. Hides behind the confirmation screen and makes it difficult to see the original screen. Further, when the confirmation screen is displayed, it is usually impossible to perform operation inputs other than specific key operations. For this reason, there is a problem that the user has to interrupt the work until the confirmation screen is closed every time the mail is received. If a specific key operation is performed, the confirmation screen can be quickly closed, but the key operation must be performed every time an email is received, and the operation input is troublesome.
[0007]
By the way, there has conventionally been a mobile phone that realizes a pseudo chat function using an e-mail transmission / reception function (for example, Patent Document 1). Chat is a communication mode in which conversation is performed in real time between two or more communication terminals using characters.
[0008]
The e-mail addressed to the mobile phone is temporarily stored in a mail server installed in the mail center of the carrier (carrier). When the e-mail arrives, this mail server sends a mail reception notification to the destination mobile phone. The mobile phone that has received this mail reception notification immediately starts receiving e-mail from the mail center. That is, in the case of a mobile phone, if the radio wave condition is good, it is possible to receive an e-mail at a speed according to real time.
[0009]
Therefore, in the mobile phone, a near real-time chat function can be realized by using a normal e-mail transmission / reception function even if the telecommunications carrier does not provide a special service for realizing the chat function. That is, the chat function is realized in a pseudo manner only by processing inside the mobile phone.
[0010]
In a mobile phone having such a pseudo chat function, e-mail is transmitted / received to / from registered members by registering in advance the mail addresses of members participating in the chat. When an e-mail from a registered member is received while the chat screen is displayed, the body of the e-mail is displayed as a chat message in chronological order on the chat screen, and a text conversation is established between two or more members. .
[0011]
When starting a pseudo chat, a user who makes a call first selects a chat mode from the menu of the mobile phone and displays a chat screen. Then, an e-mail is transmitted as a chat message to registered members from the chat screen. On the other hand, the member who has received this e-mail confirms that the e-mail is a chat message, and then selects a chat mode from the menu to display a chat screen. In this way, only registered members who have displayed the chat screen can participate in the chat.
[0012]
However, in such a conventional mobile phone, there is a problem that, when the chat screen is being displayed, if a transition is made from the confirmation screen at the time of mail reception to the received mail browsing screen, confusion may occur. . In other words, when an e-mail is received from a member other than a registered member during a chat, if the browsing screen is opened from the confirmation screen, the user forgets that the chat is in progress and the chat screen is closed along with the browsing screen when the browsing is finished. There was a problem that could be.
[0013]
Also, if you receive an email from a registered member during a chat, you can open the viewing screen from the confirmation screen and send a reply email from this viewing screen. There was also a problem that it was sent only to the sender of Furthermore, there is a problem that the body of the reply mail transmitted at this time is not displayed on the chat screen.
[0014]
