Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To store information on ID, the frequency, the number, etc., of communication opposite side corresponding to the using division by individually measuring the using frequency of information of the communication opposite side by each of plural different time divisions so as to sort-store corresponding to the using frequency measured by each division. SOLUTION: At the time of operating keys 11 to execute memory reading operation, a control part 1 reads a telephone number from a memory 2 to display on a display 3. At the time of selecting a memory number '3', e.g. '1111111111' is displayed on the display 3 and at the time of transmit-operating to this number, a transmission part 13 sends a dial pulse to a telephone line. Then, the using frequency of the memory number '3' is highest during the day time so that the telephone number '1111111111' is rearranged to the first of the memory. Thereby the telephone number can be read out without specifying the memory number and the number of the opposite side to which the user calls most frequently during the day time can be called first to facilitate oscillation operation.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of storing information, and more particularly to a method of storing information such as a communication partner's ID, communication frequency, and number.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, communication has been liberalized, and various telephones have been used in place of conventional dial black telephones, for example, in the field of wire telecommunications. Similarly, many mobile phones have been used for mobile phones for wireless communication. Although these telephones have many functions, most of them have a memory function for telephone numbers. Further, a memory function has been proposed in which telephone numbers are arranged and stored according to the frequency of use. FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional telephone. In the figure,
Reference numeral 14 is a control unit for controlling each component, 9 is a memory for storing and holding information such as a telephone number, 10 is a display for displaying a telephone number input to a key, time indicated by a clock, 11 is a key, 12 is a A clock 13 is a transmitter for sending data from the controller 14 to the telephone line.

The operation of this conventional example will be described below with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to FIG. 11 to 14 respectively,
It is explanatory drawing which shows the content of the memory 9 of FIG. 10 which stored the telephone number. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a method of storing a memory number, a telephone number, and a frequency of use in a memory area. FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 are flowcharts showing the sequence storage procedure of the memory. The storage method of the memory number, telephone number, and frequency of use in each area is performed as follows with reference to FIG. First, in step A1, the key 11 is operated to input the memory number to be stored. In step A2, it is determined whether or not the designated memory number is empty. If no, the process proceeds to step A3, and if yes, the process proceeds to step A4. In step A3, it is determined whether the memory number is updated,
If no, go to step A1; if yes, go to step A4. In step A4, a telephone number is input. Further, in step A5, the memory number and the telephone number are stored in the memory, and the process ends.

11 to 14, a-1, a-
2,. . . , A-20 are areas each storing one telephone number, and as shown in the drawing, a memory number, a telephone number, and a frequency of use are stored for each area. FIG. 11 shows an initial state before measuring the frequency of use. The memory number 1 stores the telephone number “177”, and the memory number 3 stores the telephone number “1111111111”. Note that the usage frequency is specifically the number of transmissions, and
Since the measurement has not been started in this state, all are shown as 0. If the memory 11 is operated by operating the key 11 in this state, the control unit 14 reads the telephone number from the memory 9 and displays it on the display 10. For example, when the memory number 3 is selected, “1111111111” is displayed on the display 10. When the dialing operation of the number 3 is performed, the dial pulse or the push tone is transmitted from the transmitting unit 13 to the telephone line. At the same time, the usage frequency of the memory number 3 is updated to "1".

The above-mentioned sequence of storing and storing the memory is performed as follows with reference to FIG. First, in step B1, a memory reading procedure described later is performed. Next, step B2
It is determined whether or not the number specified in is empty. If it is empty, the process returns to step B1, and if it is not empty, the process proceeds to step B3. In step B3, it is determined whether or not the call is sent.
When the call is not transmitted, the determination is repeated again, and when the call is transmitted, the process proceeds to step B4. In step B4, the usage frequency is updated, and the process proceeds to step B5. In step B5, the operations are arranged in the order of frequency of use and the operation ends.

Next, the memory read procedure of step B1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating the memory reading procedure. In FIG. 17, in step C1, the memory stored in the first area is read. In step C2, it is determined whether or not it has been designated. If specified, step C3
If not, proceed to Step C4. In step C4, it is determined whether a memory number has been designated. If not specified, the process proceeds to step C3, and if not, the process proceeds to step C5. At step C5, the memory having the designated memory number is read out, and the operation is ended.

FIG. 12 shows the contents of the memory 9 after transmission to the memory number 3. Since the memory number 3 is used most frequently, the telephone number "111111111"
"1" is arranged in the beginning of the memory. FIG.
Shows the contents of the memory 9 after the transmission to the memory number 5. Phone number "2222" of memory number 5
"222222" is lined up. FIG. 14 shows a state in which the telephone numbers of the contents of the memory 9 are sorted in the order of frequency of use as a result of using the telephone as described above. In this way, since the telephone numbers stored in the memory are arranged and stored in the order of frequency of use, the telephone numbers can be called without specifying the memory number. In particular, the telephone number of the person who makes the most calls can be called first, and the call operation can be performed easily. However, the conventional memory method as described above has the following problems.

FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of a memory for explaining such a conventional problem. In the figure, b-1 to b-20 are telephone numbers arranged according to the frequency of use. The memory number 5 has the highest usage frequency of 30 times and is stored in b-1. On the other hand, the memory number 8 has a low usage frequency of 7 times and is stored in b-12. Now, for example, it is assumed that the one stored in the memory number 8 is the telephone number of a friend, and the others are the telephone numbers of business partners.
However, at night, the customer is not called and the friend is desired to be called. Therefore, the memory number 8 is desired to be read first. However, since they are simply arranged in order of frequency of use, there is a problem in that the memory number 8 is not immediately read even if an operation is made to call a friend at night, and the calling operation is troublesome. That is, even though the stored phone numbers have different personalities, for example, those for private use and those for work, or those with different personalities such as the time of day used, they are used together. Since the frequency is measured, there is a problem that it takes time to make a call.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a memory method for storing numbers such that private telephone numbers are sorted and stored first in private time. To aim.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, a memory method for a telephone number or the like according to the present invention uses a plurality of usage frequencies when aligning and storing the information of a communication partner according to the usage frequency. It is characterized in that it is separately measured for each different time section and is sorted and stored according to the usage frequency measured for each section. Further, the memory method of the telephone number according to the present invention is characterized in that the time division for measuring the use frequency is two divisions, ie, daytime in the daytime and nighttime.

[0011]

In the present invention, when the information of the other party of communication is sorted and stored according to the frequency of use, the frequency of use is measured separately for each of a plurality of different time segments, and the usage measured for each time segment is used. Sort and store according to frequency. For example, in a telephone having a function of storing a telephone number, when the telephone numbers are arranged and stored according to the frequency of use, the frequency of use is measured separately for each of a plurality of different time segments and is measured for each time segment. The data is sorted and stored according to the used frequency. Alternatively, in a radio having a function of storing a frequency, when the frequencies are arranged and stored according to the frequency of use, the frequency of use is measured separately for each of a plurality of different time segments and is measured for each time segment. Sorted and stored according to the frequency of use.
Alternatively, in a communication device having a function of storing an ID, when the IDs are sorted and stored according to the usage frequency, the usage frequency is separately measured for each of a plurality of different time segments,
The data is sorted and stored according to the usage frequency measured for each time segment. Further, the time division for measuring the frequency of use is, for example, two divisions of day and night in one day, seven divisions of each day of the week, two divisions of weekdays and other days, and daytime of weekdays. Try to have two other divisions of time.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a telephone to which the memory method according to the present invention is applied. In FIG. 1, 1 is a control unit for controlling each component, 2 is a memory for storing and holding information such as a telephone number, 3 is a display for displaying a telephone number input to a key, time indicated by a clock, and 4 is a display. Key,
Reference numeral 5 is a clock, and 6 is a transmission section for transmitting data from the control section 1 to the telephone line. A memory 2, a display 3, a key 4, a clock 5, and a transmitter 6 are connected to the controller 1. Although the above configuration is the same as that of the conventional telephone shown in FIG. 10, the present invention is characterized by the data structure inside the memory 2 and the memory alignment method. The memory operation of the telephone number in the telephone adopting the memory method according to the present invention configured as above will be described. 2 to 5 are explanatory views showing the contents of the memory 2 storing the telephone number.
In these figures, c-1, c-2 ,. . . , C-2
0 is a memory area for storing one telephone number each, and as shown in the figure, the memory number, telephone number,
Stores the frequency of use. Storage in each area is performed in the same manner as in the conventional example. The above operation is the same as the conventional example, but the present invention is further characterized by storing the usage frequency for each time segment.

That is, FIG. 2 shows the initial state before the frequency of use is measured, and the telephone number "17" is stored in the memory number 1.
7 ”is stored and the telephone number“ 117 ”is stored in the memory number 2.
However, the memory number 3 has a telephone number "11111111".
11 ”is stored. The frequency of use is specifically the number of transmissions, and since the measurement has not been started in the state of FIG. 2, the number of transmissions is all zero. First, when the memory reading operation is performed by operating the key 4, the control unit 1 reads the telephone number from the memory 2 and displays it on the display 3. For example, if memory number 3 is selected, “11111
11111 ”is displayed on the display 3. When a calling operation is performed on this number, a dial pulse or a push tone is sent from the sending unit 6 to the telephone line. At the same time, the usage frequency of the memory number 3 is updated to "1". The above operation is the same as the conventional example.

In the present invention, the frequency of use according to the time division is further measured. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing this operation. In step D1, the memory reading procedure shown in FIG. 14 is performed. Next, in step D2, it is determined whether or not the designated number is empty. If it is empty, the process returns to step D1, and if not, the process proceeds to step D3. Step D
In step 3, it is determined whether or not a call is made. If no call is made, the process returns to step D3. Step D5
Then, it is determined whether it is daytime. If it is not daytime, the process proceeds to step D6, and if it is daytime, the process proceeds to step D7. In step D7, the daytime use frequency is updated, and the process proceeds to step D8. In step D8, the daytime use frequency is arranged in order, and the process ends. In step D6, the night use frequency is updated and the process proceeds to step D9. In step D9, the night use frequency is sequentially updated, and the process ends.

FIG. 3 shows the contents of the memory 2 after transmission to the memory number 3. Since memory number 3 is used most frequently during the daytime, telephone number "111111111"
"1" is arranged in the beginning of the memory. FIG.
Further, the contents of the memory 2 after being transmitted to the memory number 5 are shown. Phone number "22222" in memory number 5
"22222" is lined up.

FIG. 5 shows the telephone numbers rearranged in the order of frequency of use during the day as a result of using the telephone as described above. The phone number stored in memory as above is
They are sorted and stored in the order of daytime usage frequency. For this reason,
The telephone number can be read without specifying the memory number. In particular, the number of the person who makes the most calls during the day can be called first and the calling operation can be performed easily.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the memory contents for explaining the advantages of the present invention. In FIG. 7, d-1 to d-20 are telephone numbers arranged according to the frequency of use at night. The memory number 8 is used 7 times as a whole, but since it is used most frequently at night, it is stored in d-1. If the phone numbers of the friends stored in the memory number 8 can be read first if they are arranged according to the frequency of use at night, as compared with the case where the phone numbers are simply arranged in the order of frequency of use. Operation becomes easy. That is, considering that there is a high possibility that the telephone numbers used at night will be for private use and the telephone numbers used for daytime will be for work, the frequency of use will be divided into two time zones, daytime and nighttime. It is a thing. Although the memories are rearranged at the time of transmission, the memories may be rearranged at different times. For example, the memory may be rearranged according to the frequency of use at night at 6:00 pm, and may be rearranged according to the frequency of use at daytime at 8:00 am.

Further, as the time division for measuring the frequency of use, an example in which one day is divided into two divisions of daytime and nighttime has been described, but this time division is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various divisions are possible. It goes without saying that the division of is possible.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, if one week is divided into seven categories for each day of the week, the telephone number of the customer whose current day of the week is a regular holiday becomes lower in priority, and other telephone numbers are relatively It is stored in the higher order. Alternatively, it may be divided into two categories, weekdays and other days, and may be divided into two categories, weekday daytime and other hours, in this case, private telephone numbers and work telephone numbers. The distinction is more distinct and convenient. Further, the above divisions may be combined.

Further, although the total usage frequency data is also stored in the above embodiment, it is needless to say that the total usage frequency data may not be stored.
In the above embodiments, the present invention has been described by taking the telephone having the function of storing the telephone number as an example. However, as shown in FIG. 9, a wireless device having the function of storing the frequency of the communication partner and an ID It may be applied to various communication devices such as a communication device having a function of storing the. Further, the present invention is applicable not only to wired telephones but also to wireless telephones such as portable telephones.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the information of the other party of communication is sorted and stored according to the frequency of use, the frequency of use is measured separately for each of a plurality of different time segments, and each segment is classified. By arranging and storing according to the frequency of use measured for each, for example, at private time, private telephone numbers can be arranged and stored first. Therefore,
It is possible to obtain the effect that information such as the ID of the communication partner, frequency, and number can be stored according to the usage category.
