Detecting the international telephone identification number / country code of the visited area and the location information of the own terminal based on the signal processor 4 and the notification information received from the base station. The entire mobile communication terminal 1 is controlled using the table 5, a storage unit 6 storing a control program, a telephone number, and the like, and a control program and data stored in the storage unit 6. It consists of the control part 7, the LCD 8, and the number input part 9. As shown in FIG. The storage unit 6 includes a history memory 6a for storing caller information and caller line information, respectively, during a call processing and an incoming call processing, and a phone book storing a plurality of counterpart phone numbers. Memory 6b. The control section 7 relates to a position detecting means 7a for detecting the current position of the mobile communication terminal, and whether each outgoing and incoming call is related to a domestic call based on the information detected by the position detecting means. International telephone identification number / country code selection for selecting an international telephone identification number and a country code on the basis of the telephone number detection means 7b for detecting whether the telephone is detected or not and the information detected by the position detection means and the data in the correspondence table 5; Means 7c and a telephone number separation / synthesis means for separating an international telephone identification number and a country code from an outgoing or incoming telephone number, synthesizing the separated international telephone identification number and country code, and registering them in the storage unit 6; (7d).

Next, the procedure of storing the transmission information at the time of transmission will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the mobile communication terminal 1 performs the call processing, the call history registration of the call telephone number is started. Then, based on the location information (notification information received from the base station) obtained from the location information detecting means, an international telephone identification number corresponding to the visited area is selected from the correspondence table 5 (S101), and then the selected The international telephone identification number is compared with the part corresponding to the international telephone identification number of the telephone number to be registered, and it is determined whether the telephone number to be registered is a domestic telephone number or an international telephone number (S102).

If it is determined that the telephone number to be registered is a domestic telephone number, a country code is selected from the correspondence table 5 on the basis of the location information obtained from the position detecting means (S103), and the domestic number obtained from the country code and the location information The telephone number is registered in the history memory (S104).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the telephone number to be registered is an international telephone number, the country code and the telephone number according to the format used in the country are separated and registered in the history memory.

For example, when making a domestic call in Japan, the following procedure is performed. When registering " 045-XXX-XXXX " in the history memory, the mobile communication terminal 1 selects the international telephone identification number from the location information and corresponds to the international telephone identification number of the dialed telephone number. Compare with the part. In this case, since "001" is not included in the head portion of the dialed telephone number, it is determined that the dialed telephone number is a domestic telephone number. Therefore, in the domestic telephone, the telephone numbers of the Japanese country code " 81 " and the domestic telephone " 045-XXX-XXXX " selected from the correspondence table 5 based on the positional information are registered in the calling history memory.

Similarly, the number " 011-81-45-XXX-XXXX " used when making an international call from the United States to the aforementioned number " 045-XXX-XXXX " of Japan is registered in the calling history memory in the following manner. Since the visited area is the United States, the mobile communication terminal 1 selects the international telephone identification number of the United States from the location information and compares it with the portion corresponding to the international telephone identification number of the telephone number from which the selected international telephone identification number was sent. In this case, the head portion of the dialed telephone number (the telephone number of the international telephone) matches the selected international telephone identification number " 011 ", so that the dialed telephone number is determined to be the international telephone number.

Then, the head portion "011" representing the international telephone identification number is deleted from the dialed telephone number, and the country code "81" and the telephone number "045-XXX-XXXX" according to the format used in that country are separated. The separated country code " 81 " and phone number " 045-XXX-XXXX " are registered in the calling history memory.

Next, a process of storing outgoing information (telephone number) upon incoming or outgoing calls is described with reference to FIG. At the time of incoming call, it is determined whether the incoming call is a domestic call or an international call based on whether a country code is given to the notified telephone number (S201). If it is determined that the incoming call is a domestic phone, a country code is selected from the correspondence table 5 based on the location information obtained by the location detecting means (S202), and the country code obtained from the location information and the telephone number of the domestic phone are stored in the history memory ( S203). On the other hand, if the incoming call is determined to be an international call, the country code and the phone number according to the format used in the country are separated (S204) and registered in the history memory.

Next, a procedure for performing an incoming call process using the telephone number stored in the history memory will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the mobile communication terminal 1 obtains the telephone number of the visited area from the correspondence table 5 based on the positional information obtained from the position detecting means (S301). Then, the country code of the visited area is retrieved from the calling or incoming history memory and compared with the country code of the calling phone number (S302). If the country code of the visited area matches the country code of the phone number, it is determined that the outgoing call is a domestic call, and a phone number according to the format of the country registered in the history memory is used. On the other hand, if the country code of the visited area does not match the country code of the phone number, it is determined that the outgoing call is an international call. Accordingly, the telephone number is based on the international telephone identification number suitable for the visited area obtained from the correspondence table 5 based on the positional information obtained by the position detecting means, the country code registered in the history memory, and the format used in that country, respectively. It is synthesized from the telephone number accordingly (S303, S304).

For example, when the telephone number "045-XXX-XXXX" according to the country code "81" and the format used in that country is retrieved from the history memory, the following procedure is performed.

When the originating position is Japan, the country code "81" of Japan is obtained from the correspondence table 5 based on the positional information. Since the country code thus obtained coincides with the country code retrieved from the history memory, the telephone is determined to be a domestic phone, and " 045-XXX-XXXX " retrieved from the history memory is used.

On the other hand, if the originating location is American, the country code "1" of the United States is obtained from the correspondence table 5 based on the location information. Since the country code thus obtained does not match the country code retrieved from the history memory, it is determined that the call is an international call. Therefore, the international telephone identification number " 011 " obtained from the correspondence table 5 based on the positional information, the country number " 81 " registered in the history memory and " 045-XXX-XXXX " according to the format used in the country. A telephone number from " 011-81-45-XXX-XXXX " is synthesized and used.

In addition to the above-described method, the location detecting means includes a device such as a GPS capable of detecting a location in the mobile communication terminal, and information such as latitude / longitude and country code / international phone identification number from the base station to the mobile communication terminal. It may be formed by a method of transmitting information capable of specifying a country, a method of the mobile communication terminal specifying its position based on information from a plurality of base stations, the strength of radio waves, the arrival time of radio waves, and the like.

5 is a diagram showing the state of the telephone number stored in the history memory. As shown in Fig. 5, the telephone number is divided into a national number representing a country and a telephone number according to a format used in the country, and the telephone numbers thus separated are recorded. At present, since the telephone number stored in the history memory can be registered in the telephone book memory, if the telephone book memory is configured to store a telephone number having the same configuration as the telephone number of the history memory, the data in the telephone book memory is stored in the history memory. It is compatible with the data of and the data can be used effectively. In addition, the memory can be shared by using data of the phone book memory other than the new phone numbers in common.

According to the above-described configuration, when using the telephone number storage method and the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, when the call log and the call log are registered, a domestic phone call and an international phone call are determined, and a phone call according to the country code and the format used in the country is used. The number is memorized. In addition, when a telephone number registered in the history memory is searched and a telephone call is made using the retrieved telephone number, a telephone number of a domestic telephone or an international telephone is automatically synthesized based on the user's location information. Therefore, when the user freely travels to a plurality of countries or regions using a mobile communication terminal, the user can easily make domestic and international calls without consciousness of the location of his terminal, so that convenience can be improved. Has a technical effect.
