Each line of the Japanese syllabary is assigned to each numeric key of the numeric keypad 102 of the terminal 1. When a telephone number list, an e-mail address list, or a facsimile number list is displayed, any one of the numeric keys 102 is displayed. Is operated, the data of each list can be displayed from the row of the Japanese syllabary assigned to the operated key.

For example, the numeric keypad “1” key is “A line”, the “2” key is “KA line”, the “3” key is “SA line”,
A row of the Japanese syllabary is assigned to the "4" key, "ta row", the "5" key to "na row", and so on. Then, when a destination selection list such as a telephone number list is displayed from the data of "A line", and an attempt is made to search for destination information such as a telephone number of "Tamura 田 ○ △", The user presses the “4” key to which the row is assigned, among the ten keys 102.

When any of the numeric keys 102 is pressed while a destination selection list such as a telephone number list is displayed, the system control unit 1
2 extracts the name and destination information belonging to the row of the Japanese syllabary assigned to the pressed numeric keypad from the telephone directory data,
The destination selection list can be displayed, for example, in the order of the Japanese syllabary from the data having the specified name of the Japanese syllabary.

In the above-described embodiment, the icons displayed on the screen are provided with a function as a destination list reference key. However, the destination list reference key is not an icon but a mechanical button key. It may be.

Further, mechanical button keys and icons for displaying a telephone number list, a facsimile number list, and an e-mail address list are provided, and when these button keys or icons are pressed, the telephone directory data is displayed. , Data for creating a telephone number list, a facsimile number list, and an e-mail address list may be extracted, and a destination selection list corresponding to the operated button key or icon may be created.

However, as described above, when the reference icon as a destination list reference key that can be operated only on each destination input screen of the communication method selected by the user is used, the information communication terminal is operated by the user. It is possible to determine the selected communication method and automatically generate and display a destination selection list according to the communication method selected by the user.

Therefore, it is not necessary for the user himself to select and operate the destination list reference key corresponding to the communication system to be used. Inconvenience such as displaying the destination selection list of the method does not occur.

Further, the information communication terminal according to the present invention can be applied not only to a portable radio communication terminal but also to an information communication device having a communication function such as a personal computer and capable of performing communication in different communication systems.
