Description

  The present invention relates to a telephone, and more particularly to a telephone that can receive character information from a caller telephone when a call signal is received.

  Some telephones such as cellular phones can send and receive e-mails (for example, Patent Document 1). In general, an electronic mail is composed of a mail body and a title, which are character strings arbitrarily input by a user. In a conventional telephone, for example, when creating a reply mail for a received electronic mail, “Re:” is applied to the title included in the received electronic mail as the application for creating the electronic mail is started. The title prefixed with the characters is automatically set. According to such a configuration, the user of the terminal that has received the reply mail can recognize that it is a reply mail for the electronic mail that he / she has transmitted, which is convenient.

On the other hand, as a technique different from the transmission / reception of such e-mail, the character information is displayed on the display unit of the destination telephone by transmitting the character information based on the input operation by the user when the calling signal is transmitted. The technique which can do is proposed (for example, patent document 2).
