FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the second correspondence table. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a third correspondence table. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the storage unit 24 includes an image storage area 51 that stores image data, an application storage area 52 that stores the above-described application, and a correspondence storage area 53 that stores various correspondence tables. Yes.

  The application storage area 52 stores a first application 60 that displays an image 45 (see FIG. 1) corresponding to the number of times the one-touch key 4 is input on the standby screen 40. Details of the first application 60 will be described later. In the image storage area 51, data of an image 45 that is displayed so as to overlap the standby screen 40 is stored in association with the number of times the one-touch key 4 is input.

  The correspondence storage area 53 stores a first correspondence table 64 shown in FIG. 4, a second correspondence table 65 shown in FIG. 5, and a third correspondence table 66 shown in FIG. The first correspondence table 64 is provided in the first application 60 in the application storage area 52 and associates each one-touch key 4 with the number of times each one-touch key 4 is input. The second correspondence table 65 associates the registered partner registered in the address book with the one-touch key 4 as a pair partner. The third correspondence table 66 associates the number of inputs of the one-touch key 4 with the registered partner.

  In the first correspondence table 64, for example, the first one-touch key 4a is associated with the input count “68”, the second one-touch key 4b is associated with the input count “3”, and the third one-touch key 4c is associated with the input count “ "null" is associated. Note that “null” is associated when the registered partner is not associated with the one-touch key 4 in the second correspondence table 65 described later, and the one-touch key 4 in the unregistered state is operated. However, this is information for preventing the main control unit 22 from executing various processes.

  In the second correspondence table 65, for example, “mother” is associated with the first one-touch key 4a as a registered partner, and “dad” is associated with the second one-touch key 4b as a registered partner. Note that the third one-touch key 4c is in an unregistered state in which no registered partner is registered.

  In the third correspondence table 66, for example, “mother” is associated with the input count “68”, and “dad” is associated with the input count “3”. In the third correspondence table 66, it is possible to associate the number of inputs with registered partners other than “mother” and “dad”. In the third correspondence table 66, “0” that is the initial value of the number of inputs is associated with a new registered partner.

  Again, with reference to FIG. 2, description of the portable terminal device 1 is continued. The communication unit 26 establishes a radio signal line by a CDMA system or the like with a base station via a channel assigned by the base station, and performs telephone communication and information communication with the base station.

When these keys are input by a user operation, A signal corresponding to the operation content is generated. The generated signal is input to the main controller 22 as a user instruction. The function key 3d is a key to which various functions such as a power key, a call key, and a mail key are assigned, and activates a function associated with the key when pressed.

  The audio processing unit 30 executes processing of an audio signal input to the microphone 5 and an audio signal output from the receiver 6.

  The display unit 32 includes a display panel (such as the main display 2M described above) configured by a liquid crystal display (LCD, Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (Organic Electro-Luminescence) panel, and the like. A video corresponding to the video data supplied via the unit 33 and an image corresponding to the image data are displayed on the display panel.

  The timer 36 counts time and can output time information to the main control unit 22.

  Next, the operation of the mobile terminal device 1, specifically, the processing in the main control unit 22 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, when the mobile terminal device 1 displays the standby screen 40 on the main display 2M of the display unit 32, the mobile terminal device 1 displays the three icons 10 associated with the three one-touch keys 4 on the standby screen 40. Overlaid on the display.

  The three icons 10 are displayed on the hinge 18 side of the first housing 1CA on the main display 2M. The three icons 10 include a first icon 10a, a second icon 10b, and a third icon 10c. The three icons 10 are displayed side by side in the width direction of the first housing 1CA. The first one-touch key 4a is associated with the first icon 10a and arranged on the left side of the figure, the second icon 10b is associated with the second one-touch key 4b and arranged at the center of the figure, and the third icon 10c is arranged. The third one-touch key 4c is associated with and arranged on the right side of the figure. An image associated with the one-touch key 4 and associated with the registered partner is displayed on the icon 10. The icons 10a, 10b, and 10c also display images corresponding to the numbers of the corresponding one-touch keys 4a, 4b, and 4c (specifically, “1”, “2”, and “3”). Since the third one-touch key 4c is in an unregistered state, no image is displayed on the third icon 10c, and in this case, only a frame is displayed.

  As described above, the mobile terminal device 1 displays the images (icons 10a, 10b, and 10c) registered in correspondence with the one-touch key 4 when the standby screen 40 is displayed, so that each of the one-touch keys 4 and the corresponding one are displayed. The registered partner can be easily recognized.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when the mobile terminal device 1 displays the standby screen 40 on the main display 2M of the display unit 32, the image 45 corresponding to the three icons 10 is superimposed on the standby screen 40. To display. That is, when the standby screen 40 is displayed, the main control unit 22 causes the first application 60 to be executed so that the image 45 is associated with the three icons 10 and displayed on the standby screen 40.

  Hereinafter, the first application 60 will be described. The first application 60 generates an image to be displayed on the display unit 32 based on a predetermined condition. Examples of such an application include Flash (registered trademark). The main control unit 22 executes the first application 60 to execute image processing for displaying the image 45 stored in the image storage area 51 on the standby screen 40 based on the first correspondence table 64. To do. Further, the main control unit 22 executes addition processing for updating the number of inputs in the first correspondence table 64 during execution of the first application 60. Hereinafter, image processing and addition processing of the main control unit 22 based on the first application 60 will be described respectively.

  Here, FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of image processing of the main control unit. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of addition processing of the main control unit. The image processing of the main control unit 22 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the main control unit 22 determines whether or not the standby screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 32 (step S1). When determining that the standby screen 40 is displayed (Yes), the main control unit 22 causes the first application 60 to be executed (step S2). If the main control unit 22 determines in step S1 that the standby screen 40 is not displayed (No), the main control unit 22 repeats step S1 until the standby screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 32.

  When executing the first application 60 in step S2, the main control unit 22 refers to the first correspondence table 64 to determine whether or not there is an input count associated with each one-touch key 4, that is, “null”. It is determined whether or not there is (step S3). If the main control unit 22 determines that there is an input count, that is, it is not “null” (Yes), the main control unit 22 acquires the input count associated with each one-touch key 4 from the first correspondence table 64 (step S4).

  When acquiring the number of inputs associated with each one-touch key 4 in step S4, the main control unit 22 reads the data of the image 45 from the image storage area 53 based on the acquired number of inputs (step S5). . Thereafter, the main control unit 22 displays the read (extracted) data of the image 45 in association with the icon 10 of each one-touch key 4 so as to overlap the standby screen 40 (step S6: see FIG. 1). ).

  Specifically, in step S6, the main control unit 22 displays a taller flower image 45 as the number of inputs increases. Therefore, the main control unit 22 associates the tall flower image 45a with the icon 10a of the first one-touch key 4a having a large number of inputs. In addition, the main control unit 22 associates the short flower image 45b with the icon 10b of the second one-touch key 4b with a small number of inputs.

  Then, the main control unit 22 ends the image processing after the process of step S6. Note that if the main control unit 22 determines in step S3 that there is no number of inputs, that is, “null” (No), the main control unit 22 does not display the image 45 (step S7), that is, without executing image processing. finish.

  As described above, the main control unit 22 executes the first application 60 when the standby screen 40 is displayed, thereby associating the image 45 corresponding to the number of inputs of each one-touch key 4 with each icon 10. indicate. In the present embodiment, the image 45 is a flower image, but is not limited thereto. That is, any image 45 can be used as long as the user can visually recognize the number of times of input.

  Next, the addition process of the main control unit 22 will be described with reference to FIG. The main control unit 22 determines whether or not there is an operation of the one-touch key 4 during the display of the standby screen 40 in step S5 (step S11). When the main control unit 22 determines that there is an operation on the one-touch key 4 (Yes), the main control unit 22 refers to the second correspondence table 65 to determine whether or not the registered partner is associated with the operated one-touch key 4, that is, The presence or absence of a registered partner is determined (step S12). If the main control unit 22 determines in step S11 that the one-touch key 4 is not operated (No), the main control unit 22 repeats step S11 until the one-touch key 4 is operated.

  If the main control unit 22 determines in step S12 that there is a registered partner (Yes), the main control unit 22 adds “1” to the number of inputs in the first correspondence table 64 corresponding to the operated one-touch key 4 and performs the first correspondence. The data is stored in the table 64 (step S13), and the addition process is terminated. If the main control unit 22 determines in step S12 that there is no registered partner (No), the main control unit 22 ends the addition process without performing the process of step S13.

  In addition, the main control part 22 transmits a telephone call or an e-mail to the registered partner corresponding to the operated one-touch key 4 after the addition process is completed. The main control unit 22 also reflects the number of inputs after the addition process in the third correspondence table 66.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the control process of the main control unit 22 when the registered partner associated with the one-touch key 4 is changed will be described. Here, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the control process of the main control unit when the registered partner is changed.

  The main control unit 22 determines whether or not the association between each one-touch key 4 and the registered partner in the second correspondence table 65 has been changed by a user operation (step S21). When the main control unit 22 determines that the registered partner has been changed (Yes), the main control unit 22 stores the change flag in the storage unit 24 (step S22). If the main control unit 22 determines in step S21 that the registered partner has not been changed, the main control unit 22 proceeds to the process of step S23 described later without performing the process of step S22.

  After storing the change flag in the storage unit 24 in step S22, the main control unit 22 determines whether or not the standby screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 32 (step S23). When determining that the standby screen 40 has been displayed (Yes), the main control unit 22 causes the first application 60 to be executed (step S24). If the main control unit 22 determines in step S23 that the standby screen 40 is not displayed (No), the main control unit 22 repeats steps S21 and S22 until the standby screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 32. . Step S23 is the same processing as step S1, and step S24 is the same processing as step S2.

  After executing the first application 60 in step S24, the main control unit 22 determines whether or not a change flag is stored in the storage unit 24, that is, whether or not there is a change flag (step S25). When determining that there is a change flag (Yes), the main control unit 22 refers to the second correspondence table 65 after the change, and whether or not a registered partner is associated with each one-touch key 4, that is, each one-touch. The presence / absence of a registered partner in key 4 is determined (step S26). If the main control unit 22 determines in step S25 that there is no change flag (No), the main control unit 22 proceeds to the process of step S29 described later.

  When the main control unit 22 determines in step S26 that there is a registered partner corresponding to the one-touch key 4 (Yes), the main control unit 22 acquires the number of inputs associated with the registered partner from the third correspondence table 66, The number of inputs in the correspondence table 64 is changed to the acquired number of inputs (step S27). If the main control unit 22 determines in step S26 that there is no registered partner corresponding to the one-touch key 4 (No), the main control unit 22 inputs the “null” as the number of inputs in the first correspondence table 64 (step S26). S28). Then, the main control unit 22 executes image processing after step S27 or step S28 (step S29). Step S29 is a process from step S3 to step S7 in FIG.

  In the second correspondence table 65 after the change, when the registered partner associated with the one-touch key 4 is a new registered partner, in the third correspondence table 66, the initial value of the number of inputs is set as the new registered partner. Is associated with “0”. Therefore, the main control unit 22 associates the initial value “0” with the number of inputs of the one-touch key 4 corresponding to the new registered partner in the first correspondence table 64. In this embodiment, the initial value is “0”, but it may be any value other than “0”.

  According to the above configuration, the mobile terminal device 1 can display the image 45 corresponding to the number of times of input of the one-touch key 4 in an overlapping manner on the standby screen 40 in association with the icon 10 of the one-touch key 4. For this reason, a user who is unfamiliar with the operation of the mobile terminal device 1 can easily grasp the number of inputs of the one-touch key 4 by visually recognizing the image 45 of the standby screen 40, and thereby the one-touch key 4. It is possible to easily grasp the frequency of communication with the registered partner associated with.

  Moreover, since the 1st corresponding | compatible table 64 can be changed according to this change, the portable terminal device 1 is matched with each icon 10, when the registration partner matched with the one-touch key 4 is changed. The image 45 can be changed appropriately. Thereby, even if the registered partner associated with the one-touch key 4 is changed, the user can appropriately grasp the communication frequency of the registered partner by viewing the image 45 of the standby screen 40.

  In the present embodiment, when the registered partner is changed, the number of inputs in the first correspondence table 64 is changed in accordance with this change. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the registered partner is changed, this change is made. In addition, the number of inputs in the first correspondence table 64 may be changed to an initial value.

  In the present embodiment, the specific operation is performed by the one-touch key 4 that is the specific key. However, the specific operation is not limited to the one-touch key 4 and may be performed by another key.

  In the present embodiment, the second correspondence table 65 and the third correspondence table 66 are provided independently. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the table is a combination of the second correspondence table 65 and the third correspondence table 66. Also good.

  Next, the storage unit 24 of the mobile terminal device 1 according to Modification 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the storage unit of the mobile terminal device according to the first modification. The storage unit 24 includes a second application 80 in the application storage area 52 in addition to the configuration of the above embodiment.

  The main control unit 22 can execute the addition process by executing the second application 80. In this case, the specific operation includes not only the operation of the one touch key 4 but also the operation related to the registered partner associated with the one touch key 4.

  The second application 80 is, for example, an application for making / receiving calls, an application for making / receiving mails, or an application dedicated to addition processing. The second application 80 is executed when the first application is not executed. That is, the second application 80 is executed when the standby screen 40 is not displayed on the display unit 32. Hereinafter, the addition process of the main control unit 22 based on the second application 80 will be described.

  After executing the second application 80, the main control unit 22 determines whether or not a specific operation related to the registered partner associated with the one-touch key 4 has been performed. When determining that the specific operation has been performed, the main control unit 22 adds “1” to the number of inputs corresponding to the registered partner in the first correspondence table 64, and stores the number of inputs after the addition in the first correspondence table 64. To complete the addition process.

  Specifically, a case where an application for making / receiving a call is applied as the second application 80 and a call is made as a specific operation will be described. After executing the second application 80, the main control unit 22 determines whether or not a call is made to the registered party associated with the one-touch key 4. When the main control unit 22 determines that a call is made to the registered partner, the main control unit 22 adds “1” to the number of inputs corresponding to the registered partner in the first correspondence table 64, and sets the number of inputs after the addition to the first correspondence table 64. And the addition process is terminated.

  According to the above configuration, even when the first application 60 is not executed, the mobile terminal device 1 adds to the first correspondence table 64 when a specific operation related to the registered partner associated with the one-touch key 4 is performed. Processing can be performed. Accordingly, the mobile terminal device 1 can more accurately add (count) the specific operation related to the registered partner associated with the one-touch key 4, so that the user can register the registered partner associated with the one-touch key 4. The communication frequency can be grasped more accurately.
