(metadata of the Email content of reception)

For " Email content of reception ", on daily calendar, handle time of reception data, file type icon (the mail icon of reception), " from " the metadata project of icon, the address (perhaps " sending source name/address " hereinafter) that sends title/the transmissions source in source, additional data icon, transmission source images, subject name icon and subject name data.

The time of reception data are data that indication receives the time of corresponding Email mail.Controller part 12 is when receiving the Email mail, and extracting time information from timer 10 is added the temporal information extracted in the Email mail that receives, and stored this Email mail in memory 11.Controller part 12 figure ground on daily calendar shows that the temporal information that is added in the Email mail is as the time of reception data.

File type icon (icon of the mail of reception) is the icon that indication presents the Email content of reception.An example is by the sealing letter image formed icon of arrow that refers to downwards, thus the content of the Email that expression receives.

" from " icon is the icon that indication sends the display field of source name, and represent by word " from. ".

Sending source images is the image that is registered in each user in the phone directory.The log-on field of each user's image more specifically, is provided in the phone directory in being stored in memory 11.Under normal circumstances, the user of mobile phone for example stores on the log-on field of phone directory, the photographic image of each image of the user face that is caught or obtained by camera unit 8.Controller part 12 is searched for phone directory according to the e-mail address that is accompanied by the Email content of reception.Thereby controller part 12 detects the photographic image (=send source images) in transmission source of the Email content of users or reception, and on daily calendar display image.In this case, may be stored in the situation that the image demonstration big or small and on daily calendar in the phone directory varies in size.In this case, controller part 12 is carried out dwindling or processing and amplifying of image, so that image has the size of 120 point * 160 for example, shows this image then on daily calendar.

Sending source name/address is the data of indicating the transmission source of the Email mail that receives.As the data in the transmission source of indicating the Email mail that receives, the title in any one transmission source and address are displayed on the daily calendar by the operation of controller part 12.

More specifically, according to controller part 12, the priority that shows on daily calendar is determined by following order: send source images, send source name, transmission source address then.When sending source images, title and being stored in the phone directory corresponding to the address of the Email mail that receives, send source images by figure be presented on the daily calendar.Replacedly, when the transmission source images that does not have storage corresponding to the Email mail that receives, when still having stored transmission source name and address therein, on daily calendar, show to send source name.Replacedly, when not being stored in the phone directory corresponding to the transmission source images of the Email mail that receives and title, but only when transmission source address is stored in the phone directory or be not stored in wherein, on daily calendar, show transmission source address.

Appended data icon is that the Email mail that receives is accompanied by under the situation such as the additional data of view data and/or music data, and the operation by controller part 12 is displayed on the icon on the daily calendar.Example is that the operation by controller part 12 is displayed on the daily calendar clip image (clip image) as the additional data icon, thereby shows to the user and to have presented additional data.

The subject name icon is the icon of display field of the title (subject name) of the indication Email content that is used to give reception.The subject name data are to give the title of the Email content of reception (subject name).On daily calendar, show the subject name data of the Email mail that is endowed reception, make it adjacent with the subject name icon.

Under the situation of demonstration of the Email content that specify to receive on the daily calendar or the like, controller part 12 starts the electronic mail supervisor that is stored in the memory 11, thereby shows the text or the like of the Email content of specified reception.

Under the situation of demonstration of specifying the Email content that is affixed to reception on the daily calendar or the like, the application program that controller part 12 starts corresponding to additional data, thus figure ground shows specified additional data.For example, under the additional situation of still image quilt as additional data, when on daily calendar, specifying the graphical display of additional data, controller part 12 is according to the browser function that is stored in the photograph control program in the memory 11, and figure ground shows this still image (additional data) on daily calendar.Similarly, for example, under the additional situation of music data quilt, when on daily calendar, specifying the regeneration of additional data, come this music content of playback (additional data) according to the music player program that is stored in the memory 11 as additional data.

(metadata of the Email content of transmission)

With regard to " Email content of transmission ", on daily calendar, handle the metadata project of transmitting time data, file type icon (email icon that is sent out), " going to " icon, title/address, address, many people icon, additional data icon, addressee's image, subject name icon and subject name data.

The transmitting time data are data of the transmitting time of the corresponding Email mail of indication.Controller part 12 is extracting time information from the timer 10 when the send Email mail, and the temporal information of being extracted is added into the Email mail that is sent out, and in memory 11 this Email mail of storage.Controller part 12 figure ground demonstration on daily calendar is added to the temporal information of Email mail as the transmitting time data.

File type icon (email icon that is sent out) is the icon that indication presents the Email content that is sent out.An example is the icon that is formed by the letter image that seals with the arrow of representing to send of upwards indicating.

" going to " icon is the icon of the display field of indication user's name (addressee's title), and is represented by word " going to. ".

Be similar to the image in transmission source, addressee's image is the image that is registered in each user in the phone directory.On daily calendar, be stored in the processed conduct of each user images " transmission source images " and " addressee's image " in the phone directory.As described above, under the situation that the image of the image in being stored in phone directory size and demonstration on the daily calendar vary in size, controller part 12 by carry out image dwindle or processing and amplifying and on daily calendar figure ground display image.

Addressee title/address is the receiver data of indicating the Email that is sent out.Be sent out the receiver data of Email as indication, on daily calendar, show any one addressee's title and address.

More specifically, according to controller part 12, the priority that is used for graphical display on daily calendar is determined in the following order: addressee's image, addressee's title, address of the addressee then.When addressee's image, title and address corresponding to the Email that is sent out were stored in the phone directory, figure ground showed addressee's image on daily calendar.Replacedly, but when not having storage to be stored in wherein, on daily calendar, show addressee's title corresponding to addressee's image addressee's title of the Email that is sent out and address.Replacedly, when all not being stored in the phone directory corresponding to addressee's image of the Email that is sent out and title, but when address of the addressee only is stored in the phone directory or is not stored in wherein, on daily calendar, show address of the addressee.

Many people icon be when the corresponding Email content that is sent out be the icon that is shown when being sent to a plurality of users' Email simultaneously.An example of many people icon is the icon that forms from three people's image, is sent to a plurality of people simultaneously thereby make the user intuitively discern Email.

In this example, though many people icon be designed to only show that owing to Email is sent to a plurality of people simultaneously as noted earlier, the expression mode is not limited to it.Function layout can be as follows, and situation is sent to a plurality of man-hours simultaneously even work as the Email that receives, and show many people icon, thereby the Email that indication receives is sent to a plurality of people simultaneously.

The additional data icon is that the operation under the Email that is sent out is accompanied by situation such as the additional data of view data and/or music data, by controller part 12 is displayed on the icon on the daily calendar.An example is the icon of clip image recited above.

The subject name icon is the icon of indication for the display field of the title of giving the Email content that is sent out (subject name).The subject name data are to give the title of the Email content that is sent out (subject name).Controller part 12 figure ground on daily calendar shows the subject name data be endowed the Email that is sent, makes that the subject name icon on itself and the daily calendar is adjacent.

For example, under the situation of the demonstration of specifying the Email content that is sent out on the daily calendar, controller part 12 starts the electronic mail supervisor that is stored in the memory 11, thereby shows text of the specified Email content that is sent out or the like.

For example, be affixed under the situation of the demonstration of the additional data of the Email content of transmission in appointment in daily calendar, the application program that controller part 12 starts corresponding to additional data, thus show appointed additional data.For example, when still image is added as additional data, when specifying the demonstration of additional data on daily calendar, controller part 12 is according to the browser function that is stored in the photograph control program in the memory 11 and figure ground demonstration still image (additional data).Similarly, for example, under the additional situation of music content quilt, when on daily calendar, specifying the regeneration of additional data, come this music content of playback (additional data) according to the music player program that is stored in the memory 11 as additional data.

(metadata of calendar content)

With regard to " calendar content ", on daily calendar, handle data, alarm clock icon, the data of indication alarm clock ON/OFF setting and the metadata project that vacation data is set of schedule time started data, file type icon (schedule icon), classification icon, indication schedule summary/content.

Schedule time started data are data that indication is stored in the schedule time started data in the schedule.For figure ground on daily calendar shows schedule, controller part 12 detects the schedule time started that is stored in the schedule, and shows the detected schedule time started on daily calendar.

File type icon (schedule icon) is the icon that indication presents schedule.For instance, the schedule icon is with calendar and the pencil drawing picture icon as basic pattern, and is displayed on the daily calendar.

The classification icon is the icon of the stored schedule classification of indication.When the storage schedule was in schedule, the user selected the classification icon corresponding to the schedule of being stored from the classification icon that tabulation shows.Daily calendar shows selected classification icon when having selected schedule by the user, and the daily time started.

The data of indication schedule summary/content are when the user storage schedule, the data on input schedule title (subject name) territory.Daily calendar figure ground shows the data be transfused on the title field summary as schedule.

When not having data to be transfused on the title field of schedule, controller part 12 is figure ground display string on daily calendar, for example, is input to the character string of 10 characters that start anew of character string of the content (content territory) of schedule." schedule summary/content " shown in Figure 3 relates to described above.

The alarm clock icon be by for example with the image of bell as the formed icon of basic pattern.The data of indication alarm clock ON/OFF setting are to indicate the data of whether specifying alarm clock to be provided with to schedule.When specifying alarm clock to be provided with to schedule, daily calendar shows that word " opens ", makes it adjacent to by the formed alarm clock icon of the image of bell.Otherwise when not specifying alarm clock to be provided with to schedule, daily calendar shows word " pass ", makes it adjacent to by the formed alarm clock icon of the image of bell.

It is the data of being specified vacation by the user for schedule that data are set vacation.For example, when arranging individual subscriber to have a rest in that day corresponding to date on common Sunday, the user can with corresponding to the date storage of that day of having a rest on the calender as vacation.Controller part 12 determines whether to specify be provided with vacation to the date that shows at daily calendar from schedule.If shown date appointment is provided with vacation, then controller part 12 is changed the processing of display mode, such as the processing of being changed the Show Color in corresponding date territory the shown date, and shows this result on daily calendar.

For example, when specifying the graphical display of schedule on daily calendar, controller part 12 starts the calendar management program that is stored in the memory 11, thereby figure ground shows content of specified schedule or the like.

Suppose that for schedule is registered in the schedule, function layout allows input in " place " that calendar events takes place, such as " company ", " school " or " room ".In this case, to such an extent as to function layout can be that so controller part 12 is read the place that calendar events takes place from schedule, and figure ground shows this place on daily calendar.

More specifically, suppose following situation now: for example, show and Email content that filter is provided with the Email content that allows still image content, calendar content, birthday content, transmission and reception by the demonstration of figure ground, and from the present date of timer 10 extractions be on September 13rd, 2005.In this case, controller part 12 from memory 11, detect the still image content that has corresponding to the temporal information in September, 2005 or stored information, corresponding to the Email content of the reception in September, 2005, corresponding to the Email content of the transmission in September, 2005, corresponding to the calendar content in September, 2005 and the user's of moon birthday that each all has in September, 2005 birthday content.

Similarly, will suppose another kind of situation below: for example, show and the filter setting only allows still image content and birthday content by the demonstration of figure ground, and from the present date of timer 10 extractions be on October 1st, 2006.In this case, controller part 12 detects temporal information or the still image content of stored information and the user's of moon birthday that each all has in October, 2006 the birthday content that has corresponding in October, 2006 from memory 11.

Next, at step S4, displaying calendar is browsed daily calendar on display part 5, thereby browses demonstration various types of contents in figure ground on the daily calendar at calendar.Then, at step S5, the viewing area on current or date of operation (corresponding to the viewing area on startup date of daily calendar) is extended to greater than other viewing area, and focus is positioned on the viewing area that is expanded.Then, according to flow chart shown in Figure 6, handle stopping.

Fig. 5 is a demonstration example of browsing daily calendar as the calendar that the result according to the flow chart of Fig. 6 is shown.The demonstration example of Fig. 5 is that the calendar in September, 2005 is browsed daily calendar, and wherein the date of being located by focus is corresponding on September 13rd, 2005, Wednesday.

As from shown in Figure 5, figure ground shows relevant part.Above calendar is browsed daily calendar, show the date such as " 09/13,2005 " of the display field on the date of locating corresponding to focus.On the date next door, show that expression will be by the various icons of all kinds content of figure ground demonstration (that is, showing that indication is provided with the various icons of state at present) by user's permission.In addition, the moon index that shows the demonstration moon that indication is at present shown along the left end longitudinal direction (long limit) of viewing area.In present example, owing to show month to be September, show a moon index with the demonstration of digital " 09 ".Controller part 12 control corresponding to will with the color (Show Color) different with the Show Color on other dates show at present or the display field on the date of date of operation, identification is at present or date of operation easily thereby make the user.

Indication as shown in Figure 5 is provided with the various icons of state (that is, being in close proximity to the various charts that the title date shows) and comprises following icon.The cake image that has candle (above being inserted in) is the icon of indication birthday content.Calendar and pencil drawing similarly are the icon of indication calendar content.The sealing letter image that has to upward arrow is the icon of the Email content of indication transmission.The sealing letter image that has downward arrow is the icon of indication Email content.Having the inwardly folding image of rectangular shape and upper right portion is the icon of indication still image content.In various icons, carry out colored the demonstration so that show the icon of indicating or representing to allow the content of graphical display by the user.On the other hand, expression is not allowed the icon of graphical display to be shown that by gray scale (perhaps, half bright demonstration) is as gray level image by the user.Difference in demonstration makes that the user can be rapidly, and (perhaps a glance) just identifies certain content that is allowed to graphical display on daily calendar.

In addition, browse at calendar that display list is shown in the icon of detected content among the step S3 and/or the thumbnail of still image content in the display field on each date on the daily calendar.

Following situation may take place: a plurality of a plurality of still image contents that are used in the display field graphical display of phase same date occur.In this case, controller part 12 is selected in a plurality of still image contents one by using random digit, and shows the thumbnail of selected still image content in the display field on corresponding date." the grading function " that will be further described below by use upgraded this selected and thumbnail that is shown in the predetermined moment.

In addition, controller part 12 will expand the display field greater than other date corresponding to the midweek display field in 13 days September in 2005 in this example focus location date to.Thereby, in the display field that enlarges, show each content of each still image content of expression and/or the icon of thumbnail.

In the example depicted in fig. 5, only there is the icon of letter image to be displayed in the display field on 1 Friday of September, thus the Email content that indication transmission occurs or receives.In addition, letter image icon and birthday content icon are displayed in the display field on 3 Sunday of September.Thereby Email content and calendar content that daily calendar indication sends or receives appear at Sunday September 3, and this date is (present embodiment) user or mobile phone user's birthday.In addition, letter image icon, calendar content icon and still image content thumbnails are displayed in the display field on 4 Monday of September.Thereby Email content, calendar content and still image content that daily calendar indication sends or receives appear at Monday September 4.

Midweek display field on September 13 corresponding to the focus in this example location date is shown greatlyyer than other display fields, and letter image icon, calendar content icon, birthday content icon and still image thumbnail are displayed in the display field that has enlarged.Thereby Email content and calendar content that daily calendar indication sends or receives appear at Wednesday September 13, and this date is (present embodiment) user or mobile phone user's birthday.

In addition, for figure ground in the display field that enlarges shows the thumbnail content of still image content, display part 5 shows extended to the image greater than thumbnail images shown in the display field on other date.This display mode makes the user can easily discern corresponding to the focus still image content on location date.In this case, display part 5 with identical size in the display field on the display field that is enlarged and other date the demonstration of figure ground except each icon of thumbnail.

Therefore, browse when displaying calendar under the situation of daily calendar, each content icon and/or still image content thumbnails are displayed in each date display field.Therefore, promptly discern appearance user's each icon that can show from daily calendar and/or the thumbnail corresponding to each content on each date.

Depend on this date, have the situation that does not have content to occur.In this case, the thumbnail images shown appearance occurred also being not used in owing to both be not used in the icon of demonstration, therefore corresponding date display field keeps blank inevitably.In the example of Fig. 5, Saturday September 9 is corresponding to this date that does not have content to occur.And in this case, the user can be by the display field of observing this date not occurring of the content on the Identification Date rapidly.

In addition, as mentioned above, browse at displaying calendar under the situation of daily calendar, the Email content that receives and send occurs as Email content.Then, following situation may appear: the Email content that any one reception and transmission occur.In this case, the letter image icon is shown to show the appearance of the Email content that receives and/or send to the user.

In another kind statement, when displaying calendar was browsed daily calendar, the Email content that receives and/or send was shown thereon, thereby with the appearance of the form displaying contents simplified.As what below will be further described, to browse under the situation of daily calendar in demonstration day, the icon that is formed by the image that has the arrow that makes progress is shown, thereby shows the appearance of the Email content of transmission to the user.Similarly, the icon that is formed by the image that has downward arrow is shown, thereby shows the appearance of the Email content of reception to the user.

More specifically, browse at displaying calendar under the situation of daily calendar, each date display field is narrow.So, the icon of letter image is shown the appearance with the Email content of concentrating indication to receive to the user and/or sending.Yet each date display field is to browse under the situation of daily calendar wide day being presented at wherein, and the Email content that receives and send is shown independently of one another.

(operation of moving focal point)

Will be described below the operation of moving focal point.Focus can be moved in the desired date display field by the operation of operation part 6 by the user.More specifically, in the example depicted in fig. 5, controller part 12 is positioned at focus and went up as default September 13.In this state, when the cross key 24 of operation part 6 is operated by the right side, controller part 12 is carried out moving of focus and is shown control (perhaps, " focus move and show control " hereinafter), so that focus moves on the date of following order and manifests: 13 → 14 → 15 → 16 → 17 ....Perhaps, in the equal state of focus (promptly, focus is located in September 13) under, when the cross key 24 of operation part 6 is operated by a left side, controller part 12 is carried out moving of focus and is shown control, so that focus moves on the date of following order and manifests: 13 → 12 → 11 → 10 → 9 ....Perhaps, under the equal state of as above focus, when the cross key 24 of operation part 6 during by last operation (perhaps, the upwarding key of cross key 24 is operated), controller part 12 control focuses move on the date of following order and manifest: 13 days → 6 days → August 30 ....Perhaps, under the equal state of as above focus, when the cross key 24 of operation part 6 is operated (perhaps down, the down Arrow of cross key 24 is operated) time, controller part 12 moves and shows control, so that focus moves on the date of following order and manifests: 13 → 20 → 27 days → October 4 ...

Therefore, when cross key 24 was pressed, controller part 12 was carried out moving of aforesaid focus off and on and is manifested control.In addition, when pressing (that is, cross key 24 " is pressed and is held and press ") when cross key 24 is retained as, controller part 12 is carried out moving of focus constantly and is shown control during cross key 24 " is held and presses ".Then, by moving and demonstration control of focus, controller part 12 is 11 contents that sequentially detect corresponding to 5 dates that show in the display part from memory, and control the icon and/or the thumbnail of corresponding demonstration on display part 5.Thereby,, on display part 5, show the daily calendar of each month in the mode of rolling in response to the move operation of focus.

(based on every month or serve as that the basis changes display screen with the every year)

As mentioned above, user's operation that can be by cross key 24 is that the basis is moved and just is being displayed on calendar and browses focus on the daily calendar with the every day.Yet following situation may occur: the content that is desirably in graphical display on the daily calendar is every month or every year being that the basis changes on a large scale or moves.

In this case, the user carries out the push of second soft key 27 shown in Fig. 2 A.When detecting when the calendar that just shows on display part 5 is browsed the push of second soft key 27 on the daily calendar, display part 5 demonstrations calendar shown in Figure 7 is browsed the index screen of daily calendar.

Can learn that from the comparison between Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 when detecting the push of second soft key 27, " month index " (briefly being described in front) of each month is displayed on along calendar and browses on the screen area of left end longitudinal direction of daily calendar.Simultaneously, along the moon index (perhaps, following " month index area " on) the left end area, shown indicate current on display part 5, show the moon index " year index " in time.

In addition, in the display field of the focus moon of the moon under the focus location date on the index that be positioned in the operator when operating second soft key 27.Fig. 7 is the demonstration example under the following situation: when the operator operated second soft key 27, focus was positioned on any one date in 2005 9 months.In this case, focus is positioned in the display field in September on moon index area.

On moon index area, can with every month be basic moving focal point, and can go up in the area (perhaps, " year index area " hereinafter) of year index being every year basic moving focal point.More specifically, when being basic moving focal point with every month on moon index area, be positioned in focus under the state of any month display field on moon index area, the user carries out going up of cross key 24 or operation down.As shown in Figure 7, focus is positioned under this state in September, when detecting the upward operation of cross key 24, controller part 12 is carried out moving of focus and is shown control, so that focus is apparent on moon index area with following order: September → August → July → June ....Perhaps, under identical state, when detecting the following operation of cross key 24, controller part 12 is carried out moving of focus and is shown control, so that focus is apparent on moon index area with following order: September → October → November → December ....

In addition, in to the mobile and demonstration control and treatment that is positioned the moon on moon index area by focus, controller part 12 detects the content corresponding to the moon of focus location from memory 11.Then, display part 5 shows corresponding to browsing the icon and/or the thumbnail of the content on the daily calendar with the corresponding calendar of the moon (moon that focus has moved to) of focus location.Thereby, browse the icon that shows on the daily calendar and/or thumbnail every month being that the basis is changed and shows at calendar.

In the described in front example, controller part 12 served as that the basis changes the content of browsing graphical display on the daily calendar at calendar along with focus on moon index area moves with every month.Perhaps, however the arrangement of operation can be as follows: during being the move operation of basic focus, do not carry out browsing the change of the graphical display of the content on the daily calendar, but carry out constantly at the push of wait acknowledge key 25 at calendar with every month.That is,, browse figure ground on the daily calendar at calendar and show content corresponding to focus location month in response to the push of acknowledgement key 25.

More specifically, according to optional mode described above, the user carries out the moving focal point operation (not carrying out during this period, the graphical display of content) of the expectation moon to the moon index area, and, carry out the push of acknowledgement key 25 when focus moves to expectation during the moon.Thereby the demonstration of locating the content of the moon corresponding to current focus is specified in 12 identifications of controller part by the user.Then, controller part 12 detects the content corresponding to the focus location moon from memory 11, the index screen of display screen from calendar shown in Figure 7 is browsed turned back to normal screen shown in Figure 5, and browse icon and/or the thumbnail that shows on the daily calendar corresponding to content at calendar.In this case, controller part 12 is browsed figure ground displaying contents on the daily calendar at calendar when the push of wait acknowledge key 25.So, the burden on the controller part 12 can be reduced amount, wherein must in the move operation unit of focus, not carry out the change of content corresponding to the graphical display that changes content.

In addition, when focus is located on any month on moon index area, can show control so that display mode is for example changed to pattern with half bright each display field that shows date (corresponding icon and/or the display field of thumbnail).This makes the user can easily discern the starting state of moon index.

Next describing another example, wherein, is the move operation that focus is carried out on the basis with the every year.Be positioned in focus under the state of the display field of any one month on moon index area, the user carries out the left side operation of cross key 24.When detecting in the left side operation under the above-mentioned state (wherein, focus is positioned in the display field of any one month on moon index area), controller part 12 control focuses make it to be positioned in the display field in the year of year on the index area under the focus location month.Thereby, can be the change that display screen is implemented on the basis with the every year.

More specifically, be positioned in focus shown in Figure 7 under the state of year index, when detect cross key 24 go up operation the time, controller part 12 moves with following order on year index area and shows control: 2005 → 2004 → 2003....Perhaps, under identical state, when detecting the following operation of cross key 24, controller part 12 moves with following order on year index area and shows control: 2005 → 2006 → 2007....

If just therefore be that the basis is carried out moving of focus and shown control with the every year, then controller part 12 from memory 11, detects in the year that focus moved to corresponding to just focus from the moon of index before the moving to year index moon focus on the index area locate the various contents of the moon.Then, daily calendar shows icon and/or the thumbnail corresponding to described content.

More specifically, for example be positioned in focus under the state in the September on month index area, when focus is moved in the display field in 2005 on year index area, from memory 11, detect various contents corresponding in September, 2005.Then, browse on the daily calendar icon that shows corresponding to detecting content/or thumbnail at calendar.

Similarly, under the demonstration control of controller part 12, for example be positioned in focus under the state in the July on month index area, when focus is moved to the display field on year index area 2004, from memory 11, detect various contents corresponding in July, 2004.Then, browse icon and/or the thumbnail that shows on the daily calendar corresponding to the content that is detected at calendar.When the focus that is moved to the display field that is used for 2004 is moved to the display field on year index area 2003 then, from memory 11, detect various contents corresponding in July, 2003.Then, browse icon and/or the thumbnail that shows on the daily calendar corresponding to the content that is detected at calendar.Therefore, be that the basis changes and is presented at calendar and browses icon and/or the thumbnail that shows on the daily calendar with the every year.

In the described in the above example, controller part 12 is that the basis changes the content of browsing graphical display on the daily calendar at calendar with the every year along with the focus on year index area moves.Yet perhaps, the mode of operation can be as follows: in the change of not carrying out browsing at calendar the graphical display of the content on the daily calendar during the move operation of focus, but carry out according to following description.

Under the demonstration of controller part 12 control, under focus was positioned in state on year index area arbitrary year, focus was positioned in when detecting the push of acknowledgement key 25 on moon index area.Then, when under focus is positioned in the state in arbitrary year on year index area, detecting the push of enter key 25, calendar browse figure ground on the daily calendar show corresponding to the year of under the situation of each push that detects enter key 25, being located by focus and month content.

With other statement, according to above-mentioned interchangeable mode, user's moving focal point is gone up (during this period, not carrying out the change of the graphical display of content) to the year index area in desired year, and presses acknowledgement key 25.Then, user's moving focal point is gone up (during this period, not carrying out the change of the graphical display of content) to the moon index area the desired moon, and presses acknowledgement key 25.

Thereby, controller part 12 identification, by user's assignment graph ground show corresponding to year of current focus location and month content.Then, detect the content corresponding to the year and the moon of focus location from memory 11, the index screen of display screen from calendar shown in Figure 7 is browsed turns back to normal screen shown in Figure 5.Then, browse icon and/or the thumbnail that shows on the daily calendar corresponding to content at calendar.In this case, when the push of wait acknowledge key 25, figure ground displaying contents on daily calendar.So, the burden on the controller part 12 can be reduced amount, wherein must in the move operation unit of focus, not carry out the change of content corresponding to the graphical display that changes content.

In addition, when focus is positioned on year and month index area, can show that control is to change to display mode for example pattern of half each data display field of bright demonstration (corresponding icon and/or the display field of thumbnail).This display mode makes the user can easily discern the starting state of moon index.

(the daily calendar on the idle screen is set)

Will be described below the daily calendar (perhaps, for example so-called " wallpaper screen " or " hanging up screen (hung-up screen) ") that is provided with on the idle screen.

In the mobile phone of present embodiment, the calendar that can be provided with on the idle screen is browsed daily calendar.More specifically, when the user was provided with the setting operation of the daily calendar on the idle screen by operation part 6, display part 5 showed this idle screen.In order to show idle screen on

display part

5,12 operations of controller part are as follows.As described in reference to figure 6, content, from memory 11, detect corresponding to the content that shows that setting and filter are provided with corresponding to the present date of extracting from timer 10.Then, browsing each content of the still image that the demonstration expression detects on the daily calendar and/or the icon that is detected of thumbnail corresponding to the calendar of the present year and the moon from memory 11, focus is positioned in the display field of current or date of operation then.

Fig. 8 illustrates the demonstration example that the calendar that is displayed on the idle screen is browsed daily calendar.More specifically, Fig. 8 illustrates following example: the present date of extracting from timer 10 is on September 13rd, 2004, and shows that the calendar in September, 2004 browses daily calendar on corresponding to the display part on the idle screen on the present date of being extracted 5.As from Fig. 8 saw, in this example, focus is positioned in 13 days the display field corresponding to current or date of operation.

Based on this example, desired standby image tentatively is set by the user.In this case, under the demonstration of controller 12 control, half bright demonstration standby image, and on standby image, cover and displaying calendar is browsed daily calendar.As the whole idle screens that show on display part 5, idle screen is browsed daily calendar by calendar and is shown as seen.

(according to the renewal of thumbnail of grading function)

Will be described below the renewal of thumbnail.

To browse last each thumbnail that shows of daily calendar (be included in the calendar that is provided with on the aforesaid idle screen and browse daily calendar) at calendar at interval at preset time and be updated to new thumbnail.

More specifically, when a plurality of still image content of graphical display in the display field that appears at the phase same date as mentioned above, in the display field on this date, show by the thumbnail in a plurality of still images that use random digit and the selected still image.In this case, according to " grading " function at preset time at interval, the shown thumbnail of still image content is updated to the thumbnail of other still image.

(the renewal operation of the renewal thumbnail that in each date display field, shows)

At first, in response to the user's operation that starts daily calendar applications, controller part 12 is carried out regular renewal operation (perhaps, " regular update " hereinafter).Thereby controller part 12 regular updates are presented at (a plurality of) thumbnail (with reference to figure 8) that calendar is browsed (a plurality of) thumbnail (with reference to figure 5) on the daily calendar and shown on the daily calendar that is provided with on the idle screen.Fig. 9 is the flow chart of flow process that the regular update operation of thumbnail is shown.

Under the control of controller part 12, operate in the processing shown in the flow chart of Fig. 9 according to daily calendar applications always, no matter the open operation of the main electric power of mobile phone appears or does not occur.

As an example, in the mobile phone of present embodiment, be twice renewal altogether that thumbnail is carried out on the basis with the day---one at point at midnights 12, and another is 12 points at noon.Monitor the present time of calculating by controller part 12 by timer 10 always.So, at step S11, whether controller part 12 detections (perhaps determining) the present time has reached predetermined update time.Therefore, reached 12 of midnights or 12 noon when (update time of thumbnail) detecting the present time, handled proceeding to step S12.

At step S12, controller part 12 determines whether current daily calendar is in startup.If daily calendar is in startup, then handles and proceed to step S16; Otherwise proceed to step S13.

At step S16,, therefore when the demonstration of waiting for daily calendar stops, handle proceeding to step S13 because current daily calendar is in during the starting state.More specifically, in this example, do not carry out thumbnail between the starting period at daily calendar and upgrade.Yet, certainly, upgrade even processing can be set to also to carry out thumbnail between the starting period at daily calendar.

Therefore, after step S12 has determined that daily calendar is not in starting state, perhaps after step S16 detects the demonstration termination of daily calendar, handle proceeding to step S13.At step S13, controller part 12 determines whether daily calendar is set at (with reference to figure 8) on the idle screen.If daily calendar is set on the idle screen, then handles and proceed to step S17; Otherwise, handle proceeding to step S14.

Therefore, if daily calendar is set on the idle screen, then handles and proceed to step S17.At step S17, from the date of current daily calendar demonstration thumbnail on idle screen, detect all dates on each date of a plurality of still images appearance.Then, based on from except when the date that each detected the still image beyond the still image of preceding graphical display use random digit to select a still image at random.Then, in each display field on date of correspondence, form and show the thumbnail of still image content.

Thereby the calendar that is updated in the idle screen setting in the moment at 12 of midnights or noon 12 is browsed each thumbnail that shows on the daily calendar.

Then, make processing proceed to step S14 owing to detect the example of the non-setting of daily calendar on idle screen, at step S14, controller part 12 is the input holding state when waiting for the start-up operation of daily calendar.

At step S14, make processing proceed to step S14 owing to detect the start-up operation of daily calendar, handle proceeding to step S15.At step S15, as described with reference to figure 6, displaying calendar is browsed daily calendar on display part 5.Then, based on each date that a plurality of still images occur, use random digit from the still image except the still image of graphical display before start-up operation, to select a still image at random.Then, in the display field on date of correspondence, form and show the thumbnail of each selected still image content.

Thereby, when starting daily calendar through 12 of midnights or 12 noon, calendar browse be presented on the daily calendar start before and the afterwards different thumbnail of startup.

(thumbnail under focus fixed point state upgrades)

The renewal of the thumbnail image under the focus fixed point state will be described below.Suppose following situation: focus is fixed a point to browse in the display field on any date on the daily calendar at calendar, and occurs corresponding to focus a plurality of still images on fixed point date.In this case, be updated in thumbnail images shown in the focus fixed point display field on this date at interval at preset time.Figure 10 illustrates the flow chart that thumbnail upgrades the flow process of operation., begin when displaying calendar is browsed daily calendar on display part 5 according to the daily calendar applications that is stored in the memory 11 in the processing shown in the flow chart of Figure 10.

At step S21, the mode of operation of controller part 12 supervisory work parts 6, thus determine whether to have carried out the operation of moving focal point.More specifically, focus is positioned in the display field (corresponding to the display field on 13 days September in the example of Fig. 5) of current or date of operation upward as default.As mentioned above, the operation by the cross key 24 shown in Fig. 2 A is along up and down and the left and right directions moving focal point.So, in step S21, controller part 12 detects (determining) and whether carried out the operation of moving focal point when monitoring the mode of operation of cross key 24.If there is not the operation of moving focal point to be detected, then handles and proceed to step S22.Otherwise (if being detected) handles proceeding to step S25.

At step S25, in response to the operation of mobile cross key 24, the focuses that 12 pairs of controller parts are just showing on display part 5 move and show control.Thereby as mentioned above, the date display field that moves the destination corresponding to focus is shown greater than other date display fields, and in the icon of the corresponding content of expression and/or the date display field that thumbnail is displayed on expansion.Then, step S21 is got back in processing.

Therefore, under the situation of the operation that does not detect moving focal point, handle proceeding to step S22.At step S22, controller part 12 determines according to the temporal information of being obtained by timer 10, for example whether over and done with three seconds after the operation that does not detect moving focal point.More specifically, monitor the lasting quiescent time of focus by controller part 12.In this state,,, then handle and turning back to step S21 if enter in focus after the inactive state of focus not through three seconds at step S22, and after focus enters inactive state through the moment of three seconds kinds, handle proceeding to step S23.

At step S23, controller part 12 detected from memory 11 corresponding to the focus static date on location date, thereby determined whether to have occurred corresponding to focus a plurality of still images on fixed point date.If a plurality of still images do not occur, then handle and turn back to step S21; Or otherwise, handle proceeding to step S24.

At step S24, in corresponding to focus a plurality of still images on fixed point date, select except when the still image beyond the still image of preceding graphical display by using random digit by controller part 12.Then, form the thumbnail of selected still image.Then, just the thumbnail of graphical display is updated to formed new thumbnail in focus is fixed a point the date, and is shown by figure ground.Then, step S21 is got back in processing.

Thereby, when focus is continued to fix a point on the date that a plurality of still images occur, be updated the thumbnail of still image per three seconds.Therefore, only make it to fix a point in desired date display field by moving focal point, the user can by be updated per three seconds and thumbnail images shown come the still image of verification corresponding to this date.

Thereby, in this example, when focus is continued to fix a point to have spent the time period in " three seconds " in phase same date display field, upgrade thumbnail.But this time period is an example, and can be modified corresponding to design or the like.For example, change can be as follows: when time period in focus " 5 " second that continued fixed point in phase same date display field, upgrade thumbnail; Perhaps when time period in focus " 10 " second that continued fixed point in phase same date display field, upgrade thumbnail.Another replacement can be as follows: the desired time is optional on setup menu.

(day browses)

To describe in further detail hereinafter and day browse daily calendar.Browse daily calendar according to above-mentioned calendar, the user can discern the appearance corresponding to the various contents on each date by being displayed on the icon and/or the thumbnail of the correspondence in each date display field.When further expectation checking during corresponding to " content " of each content on each date, daily calendar was browsed in user's operation in described day below showing on display part 5.For example, show title (subject name) browsing figure ground on the daily calendar day, so that the user can verify the summary " content " of desired content corresponding to the content on each date.

When detailed " content " of desired content verified in expectation, the user was browsing the desired content of selection on the daily calendar day.Then, startup is corresponding to the vertical application of the content of user's selection, and execution for example shows or reconstruction corresponding to the processing of the content of user's selection.Thereby the user can verify " content " of desired content.

Figure 11 be illustrate according to corresponding to the vertical application of this content from showing that the step of browsing daily calendar day is to handling the flow chart of browsing the flow process of the processing the step scope of the content that daily calendar selects at calendar.According to this flow chart, controller part 12 detects the push of acknowledgement key 25, thereby begins this flow process according to the application program that is stored in the memory 11.

Start from step S31, when detecting the push of acknowledgement key 25,, on display part 5, show and day browse daily calendar based on the date of browsing daily calendar part of the body cavity above the diaphragm housing the heart and lungs point location at calendar.In each date that a plurality of contents occur, controller part 12 shows control, so that 5 longitudinal direction is arranged a plurality of contents from the higher row of the display field on each date to low row along the display part.Then, focus is positioned in corresponding to being positioned on the content (that is the content that, has limit priority) of highest line in the focus content on location date.Figure 12 illustrates the demonstration example of browsing daily calendar day.

Provide two kinds of display screens to look at daily calendar to show day to survey.A kind of is as shown in figure 12 " tabulation display screen ", and another kind is " a thumbnail display screen " as shown in figure 13.Change from the calendar of daily calendar and browse to when browsing day when carrying out display screen, as shown in figure 12 " tabulation display screen " is shown as default (screen).

Shown in Figure 12 be based on September 13rd, 2005 or be positioned at calendar by focus browse the day on the date on the daily calendar and browse daily calendar.As shown in figure 12, browse daily calendar day and show project such as current or date of operation, such as " on September 13rd, 2005 ", expression is by showing and the filter setting is allowed to the birthday of all kinds content of graphical display and the icon of calendar content.

In addition, along the show date area (perhaps, " date index area " hereinafter) of index of the left end longitudinal direction of viewing area, wherein, each index has the corresponding length of quantity with in a longitudinal direction content.In the example of Figure 12, owing to a content corresponding to September 12 only occurs, therefore the date index corresponding to September 12 has the length that is used for a content of figure ground demonstration.By relatively, owing to three contents that occur corresponding to September 13, therefore the date index corresponding to September 13 has the length that is used for three contents of figure ground demonstration.

In addition, controller part 12 shows control, so that by suppressing (a plurality of) the date display field do not have content to occur, continues to be adjacent to arrange and be presented at the date on the date index area.In the example of Figure 12, there is not content to appear between the display field in August 28 and September 12.In this case, the content in August 28 and September 12 is by graphical display adjacent to each other.This makes when many date display fields do not have content to occur, and can prevent the inconvenient part that shows blank display field on the daily calendar browsing day.

In addition, as under the situation on 13 days September shown in Figure 12, under the situation on the date that a plurality of contents occur, controller part 12 shows control, so that tabulation shows each content according to priority orders figure ground.By an example, the priority orders that figure ground shows this content is described hereinafter.

When differing from one another corresponding to the temporal information project in a plurality of contents of phase same date (, under the situation about differing from one another in the time of each content of phase same date), controller part 12 shows that control is with according to following priority orders figure ground tabulation displaying contents:

1. birthday content;

2. the last date is gone up the calendar content of the whole day setting that is provided with; With

3. with time started of capture time (memory time) schedule of still image content, the time of reception of the Email content of reception, and the order of the relative morning of the transmitting time of the Email content that sends.

Under the situation identical with another corresponding to the temporal information project in a plurality of contents of phase same date (for example, under mutually the same situation of the time of each content of phase same date), controller part 12 shows that control is to come figure ground tabulation displaying contents according to following priority orders:

1. still image content;

2. the Email content of Jie Shouing;

3. the Email content of Fa Songing; With

4. calendar content.

More specifically, controller part 12 is carried out demonstration control as described below.Under the mutually the same situation of temporal information project in a plurality of identical contents, show each content with the figure ground that puts in order that in being exclusively used in the application program of rebuild content, uses.Be provided with in a plurality of whole days under the situation of calendar content appearance,, come the tabulation of figure ground to show each calendar content by arranging with the registration order (new → old) that is stored in each schedule in the schedule.Similarly, under the situation that a plurality of calendar contents with identical time started occur,, come the tabulation of figure ground to show each calendar content equally by arranging with the registration order (new → old) that is stored in each schedule in the schedule.In addition, under the situation that a plurality of birthday contents with phase same date occur,, come the tabulation of figure ground to show the birthday content (promptly by sequence arrangement with the numbering of the storage in the phone directory, by arranging, come figure ground tabulation displaying contents) with the registration order in the phone directory.Yet, date in the birthday content on date in the birthday content of user in being registered in phone directory and the log-on field that is stored in personal information is identical (promptly, birthday content corresponding to oneself) under the situation, (using high priority) preferentially graphical display is stored in birthday content in the log-on field of personal information birthday (mobile phone user's birthday).

In addition, as hereinafter described in detail, for figure ground show that each content, controller part 12 show control in case on daily calendar figure ground display element data, thereby visually indicate " content " of each content.

For figure ground shows " birthday content ", display part 5 explicit user titles, birthday icon (by the formed icon of cake image of (stand its on) candle having in the present example) are registered in the thumbnail of the user in the phone directory.

For figure ground shows " still image content ", display part 5 figure ground display captures time/memory time (data), thumbnail, management title, file type icon and obtain the source icon.

For figure ground shows " Email content of reception ", display part 5 show the mail icon of receiving, time of reception, " from " icon, send source name/address, additional data icon, be stored in transmission source images, subject name icon and subject name data in the phone directory.

For figure ground shows " Email content of transmission ", display part 5 shows the mail icon, transmitting time, " going to " icon, addressee's title/many people icon, the additional data icon that send, is stored in addressee's image, subject name icon and subject name data in the phone directory.

For figure ground shows " calendar content ", display part 5 shows schedule icon, the time started of schedule, classification icon, the data that the data of indication schedule summary/content, alarm clock icon and indication alarm clock ON/OFF are provided with.

The situation of figure ground displaying contents is an example in the date display field on September 13 in Figure 12, wherein, comes birthday content, calendar content and the still image content of graphical display sequentially with above-mentioned priority orders with above-mentioned priority orders.As from this example, seeing, for figure ground shows the birthday content, display part 5 display frame images, it is the display frame of the birthday icon of the center that the is illustrated in two field picture cake image that has candle and flower.In addition, user's name " Funabashi " is displayed on the center of this two field picture.This makes has observed the user who browses daily calendar day can to discern September 13 has been the birthday of " Funabashi ".

In addition, for figure ground shows calendar content, display part 5 shows: various projects, such as the time started of " 18:46 "; On calendar, place the schedule icon of pencil drawing picture; For example, the classification icon of the cocktail glass of indication schedule classification; Indication is such as the data of the summary/content of the schedule of " having a dinner party at GINZA with YAMASHITA "; The alarm clock icon of bell image; And the data of the ON/OFF setting of indication alarm clock.This makes that having observed the user who browses daily calendar day can be identified in September 13 18:46 and arranged to have a dinner party at GINZA with YAMASHITA.

For figure ground character display, the character that surpasses the predetermined quantity of the character that will be shown will be suppressed or link.For this reason, i.e. the demonstration of schedule summary/content " is had a dinner party at GINZA with YAMASHITA " and is shown imperfectly.Yet, can arrange like this so that reduce the size of character it is all shown, perhaps respond the operation of cross key 24 and rolling display of character.

In addition, for figure ground shows the still image content, show various projects.For example, these projects are: such as the capture time/memory time of " 13:00 "; Indicating this content is the still image of still image content; Management title such as " walking a dog "; The file type icon of designating file's type and size; And the source that the obtains icon of still image content is caught or is obtained in indication by camera unit 8.This makes has observed the still image that the user who browses daily calendar day can discern during walking a dog to be caught.

When occur its birthday in the phone directory of for example personal information and log-on field, be stored as a plurality of users on September 13, during as Funabashi and Yamada, in the date display field on September 13, the tabulate icon of each birthday content of showing Funabashi and Yamada of daily calendar.Similarly, for example, when a plurality of still image content that appears at September 13 and catch or obtain, daily calendar is sequentially tabulated with the order of capture time and is shown the thumbnail of each still image content.

Browse daily calendar to browsing daily calendar day by changing display screen from calendar, figure ground shows " content " of each content, so that the user can verify desired content " content ".

With reference to the flow chart of Figure 11, if, then handle and proceeding to step S32 at the tabulation display screen of browsing daily calendar step S31 demonstration day.At step S32, when the mode of operation of supervisory work part 6, controller part 12 determines that display screens change the appearance of operation or do not occur.

More specifically, as mentioned above,, provide " tabulation display screen " shown in Figure 12 and " thumbnail display screen " shown in Figure 13 as browsing the display screen of daily calendar day.As an example, carry out in the change between each display screen by the push of first soft key 26 (shown in Fig. 2 A) by the user.So, at step S32, controller part 12 determines whether to supress first soft key 26, thereby has determined whether to carry out the change operation between the display screen.If detect the push of first soft key 26, then handle and proceed to step S37.Otherwise,, then handle and proceed to step S33 if do not detect the push of first soft key 26.

Owing to detect the push of first soft key 26, handle and proceeded to step S37, in this step, controller part 12 change and show control with change be displayed on the display part 5 the day browse daily calendar from " tabulation display screen " shown in Figure 12 to " thumbnail display screen " shown in Figure 13.

Surveyed the same day and look at daily calendar and be changed and be " thumbnail display screen ", for example, mainly showed the appearance of each content by thumbnail or icon graphic ground.Figure 13 is the view that the demonstration example of " the thumbnail display screen " of browsing daily calendar day is shown.With reference to Figure 13, when the Email content in the reception that 8:31 receives on September 12 occurred, controller part 12 detected the corresponding user in transmission source with the Email mail that receives from phone directory.Then, day browse daily calendar and in the display field on September 12, show the thumbnail that is stored in the detected user in the phone directory.This makes has observed the appearance that the user who browses " the thumbnail display screen " of daily calendar day can be identified in the Email content of the reception that 8:31 receives on September 12.

Similarly, be birthday of user on September 13 during content when its birthday occurring, controller part 12 detects the thumbnail that its birthday is the user on September 13 from phone directory.Then, the thumbnail in the display field on September 12 is shown.In addition, on thumbnail, show the birthday icon.This makes has observed the user who browses " the thumbnail display screen " of daily calendar day can to discern September 13 has been birthday the user shown in the thumbnail.

Similarly, when occur having the time started be September 13 18:46 calendar content the time, in the display field on September 13, show the classification icon of calendar content.In addition, on the classification icon, show time started of indication schedule and to indicate this content be the schedule icon of calendar content.This makes that having observed the user who browses " the thumbnail display screen " of daily calendar day can discern and have by content shown in the classification icon and since the appearance of schedule of 18:46 on the 13rd in September.

Similarly, when 13:00 caught or obtained September 13 still image occurs, in the display field on September 13, show this thumbnail.In addition, on thumbnail, show time started of indication schedule and to indicate this content be the still image icon of still image content.This makes has observed the appearance that the user who browses " the thumbnail display screen " of daily calendar day can be identified in the still image content that 13:00 caught or obtained on September 13.

When the thumbnail corresponding to the user of birthday content is not stored in the phone directory, show the user's name that is stored in the phone directory, rather than thumbnail.

When the thumbnail corresponding to the Email content of transmission/reception is not stored in the log-on field of phone directory for example or personal information, show the user's name in the log-on field that is stored in phone directory or personal information, rather than thumbnail.

When the classification icon of the Email content classification of indicating transmission/reception is not stored in the schedule, only show the time started and the schedule icon of schedule.

On " tabulation display screen " shown in Figure 12, come figure ground to show each content by for example thumbnail, icon and character, so that the summary of each content " content " can be discerned.Yet, on " thumbnail display screen " shown in Figure 13, when being difficult at one time figure basically when showing so many content, come basically by thumbnail and icon that figure shows each content, so that many contents of figure ground demonstration at one time.

Step S32 at flow chart shown in Figure 11, if do not make processing proceed to step S33 owing to detecting to change to operate between " tabulation display screen " and " thumbnail screen ", then controller part 12 determines whether to carry out the operation of moving focal point on the date index.

More specifically, when detecting the push of second soft key 27 under the state of any content when be located in " the tabulation display screen " of browsing daily calendar day shown in Figure 12 in focus on, handle proceeding to step S39.At step S39, focus is moved to corresponding on the date on the date index of current focus locating content.

For example, be located in focus under the state of birthday content of " Funabashi ", when detecting the push of second soft key 27, focus is positioned at 13 days on date, it is on date on the date index of graphical display therein " Funabashi " birthday content.Therefore, when focus is positioned in each date in each date index when going up, focus can be that unit moves on each date.

More specifically, when moving focal point, user's moving focal point and carry out the operation up and down of cross key 24 on date index area.At step S40, detect cross key 24 operation up and down appearance or do not occur.If detect the operation up and down of cross key 24, at step S41, the focus of control on the date index area is that unit moves and manifests with the date of operation up and down corresponding to cross key 24.

For example, in the example depicted in fig. 12, be located in focus under the state on 13 days dates on the date index area, when detecting the upward operation of cross key 24, focus is controlled to the unit of being operating as and moves on each date display field and manifest, and has the content that occurs in the following order on these territories: 28 → August 27,13 days → 12 days → August ....

Similarly, in the example depicted in fig. 12, be positioned in focus under the state on 13 days dates on the date index area, when detecting the following operation of cross key 24, focus is controlled to down the unit of being operating as and moves on each date display field and manifest, and has the content that occurs in the following order on these territories: 13 → 14 → 15 ....

In this way, can be that unit changes by figure ground and is presented at the content of day browsing on the daily calendar with the date.

In the mobile phone of present embodiment, when the focus that is moved to date index area turned back to the display field of each content, the user pressed acknowledgement key 25.This return is monitored by controller part 12.At step S42,, then handle and proceed to step S43 if detect the push of acknowledgement key 25.At step S43, focus is controlled to from date index ground Tape movement and is apparent on the display field of each content.

At step S33,, then handle and proceed to step S34 if do not detect the operation of moving focal point to date index area.At step S34, determine moving focal point operation appearance or do not occur.That is to say owing to come to move the focus that is positioned on each content display field by the operation up and down of cross key 24, then on step S34, monitor by controller part 12 cross key 24 operation up and down appearance or do not occur.If detect the operation up and down of cross key 24, then handle and proceed to step S38.At step S38, corresponding to the operation up and down of cross key 24, the control focus is being that unit moves and manifests with each content.

For example, in the example depicted in fig. 12, be positioned in focus under the state of birthday content of Funabashi, when detect cross key 24 go up operation the time, it is that unit moves and is apparent on the content of following order that focus is controlled to each content: the Email content of the birthday content of Funabashi → receive from Funabashi → the send to Email content of Oyamada ....

Similarly, in the example depicted in fig. 12, be positioned in focus under the state of birthday content of Funabashi, accomplish that when detecting finishing drilling of cross key 24 focus is controlled to down the unit of being operating as and moves and be apparent on each content of following order: birthday content with still image content → YAMASHITA that the calendar content that title " has a dinner party at GINZA with YAMASHITA " → have title " walks a dog ".

Therefore, browsing " the summary content " that to discern each content on the daily calendar day.When " detailed content " of the desired content of expectation checking, the user is unit with each date or is the unit moving focal point with each content, thereby focus is positioned on the desired content, presses acknowledgement key 25 then.Step S35 in the flow chart of Figure 11, detect acknowledgement key 25 push appearance or do not occur.More specifically, at step S35, controller part 12 detects the appearance of acknowledgement key 25 pushes or does not occur, the demonstration of " detailed content " of its expression focus locating content or the standard of reconstruction.At step S35,, handle advancing to step S36 if detect the push of acknowledgement key 25.At step S36, from memory 11, call and start specific application corresponding to the current focus locating content, and according to this application program contents processing.Then, whole processing of flow chart shown in Figure 11 stop.

More specifically, be positioned in focus and day browse under the state of the still image content on the daily calendar, when detecting the push of acknowledgement key 25, start the photograph control program that is stored in the memory 11.Then, the browser function figure ground on display part 5 according to the photograph control program shows the still image content.This makes the user can verify in the detailed content of browsing the still image content of selecting on the daily calendar day.

Similarly, be positioned in focus under the state of the Email content of browsing reception on the daily calendar or transmission day, when detecting the push of acknowledgement key 25, start the electronic mail supervisor that is stored in the memory 11.Then, " content " (as the text) that on display part 5, shows the Email content that receives or send according to electronic mail supervisor.This makes the user can verify the detailed content at the Email content of browsing the reception selected on the daily calendar or transmission day.

Similarly, be positioned in focus and day browse under the state of the calendar content on the daily calendar, when detecting the push of acknowledgement key 25, start the calendar management program that is stored in the memory 11.Then, " content " that on display part 5, shows calendar content according to the calendar management program.This makes the user to verify and day browses the detailed content of the calendar content of selecting on the daily calendar.

Similarly, be positioned in focus and day browse under the state of the birthday content on the daily calendar, when detecting the push of acknowledgement key 25, on display part 5, show be stored in phone directory in or the corresponding user's of birthday content on mobile phone user's the personal information log-on field log-on field.Thereby, show telephone number, e-mail address and corresponding to the user's of birthday content similar information, so that the user can communicate by phone or Email easily.

Description above having carried out, to such an extent as to mainly browsing day on " the tabulation display screen " of daily calendar, be positioned in focus under the state of desired content, when pressing acknowledgement key 25, the application program that controller part 12 starts corresponding to this content.This situation with " the thumbnail display screen " of browsing daily calendar day is similar.That is to say, under the state that shows " thumbnail display screen " shown in Figure 13, when detecting the push of acknowledgement key 25, start application program corresponding to the focus locating content on " thumbnail display screen ".Thereby, be similar to the situation of demonstration " tabulation display screen ", the user can by equally under the situation that shows " thumbnail display screen " positioning of focal verify " content " of selected content.

(the figure ground of the new schedule content creating in the transition of browsing day shows)

On September as shown in Figure 59, show that sleazy display field is as the blank of browsing at calendar on the daily calendar.Be moved at calendar in focus and browse on this sleazy date on the daily calendar and press under the situation of acknowledgement key 25, show below described " new schedule content creating " when day browsing daily calendar when showing.

Figure 14 realizes that figure ground shows the flow chart of new schedule content creating operation.In this flow chart, be positioned in calendar in focus and browse under the state of any date display field on the daily calendar, controller part 12 detects the push of acknowledgement key 25.Then, begin to handle according to daily calendar applications.

At step S51, controller part 12 is determined and is browsed the corresponding content appearance of selected date (focus location date) on the daily calendar at calendar or do not occur.If locate corresponding content of date, then handle the step S31 of the flow chart that proceeds to Figure 11 with the focus of browsing at calendar on the daily calendar.At step S31, on display part 5, show and day shown in Figure 12 browse the tabulation display screen of daily calendar.

Perhaps, if do not occur and the focus location corresponding content of browsing at calendar on the daily calendar of date, then handle and proceed to step S52.At step S52, on display part 5, show and day shown in Figure 15 browse the tabulation display screen of daily calendar.The focus location of browsing on the daily calendar for calendar provides new display field on the date, and in new display field character display " new schedule is created " and icon.

More specifically, as mentioned above, browse under the situation of daily calendar, suppress the demonstration of sleazy (a plurality of) date display field in demonstration day.Browse under the situation of selecting the sleazy date on the daily calendar at calendar, yet, when showing that day is browsed daily calendar, browsing the new display field that is provided for the sleazy date on the daily calendar day, and in display field, showing character " new schedule is created " and the icon that has focus.

In the example of Figure 15, browse on the daily calendar at calendar and to select on September 9th, 1.In the case, browse the new display field that on September 9th, 2005 was provided on the daily calendar day, in display field, showing the character " new schedule is created " and the icon that have focus.

Next,, be located in focus character be shown at step S53 " new schedule creates " and the state of the display field of icon under, controller part 12 has determined whether to carry out the push of acknowledgement key 25.By the push of the acknowledgement key 25 of user under above-mentioned state, mean that user expectation stores (a plurality of) the new schedule on sleazy date.So, handle the step S36 that proceeds to flow chart shown in Figure 11.At step S36, show new schedule establishment screen thereby start the calendar management program.In this way, the user can store new schedule in schedule.In addition, when being shown, the calendar content of the schedule of new storage be presented at by figure ground that calendar is browsed or the daily calendar day browsed on.

Even after browsing daily calendar day and changing into " thumbnail display screen ", just finish the demonstration of " new schedule is created " from " tabulation display screen ".More specifically, when the step S32 in the flow chart at Figure 11 when go up character display " new schedule is created " and icon at " the tabulation display screen " of browsing daily calendar day after carries out screen being changed into the operation of " thumbnail display screen ", at step S37 " thumbnail display screen " as shown in figure 16, only the icon corresponding to character " new schedule is created " is displayed in the display field on corresponding date.

Therefore, when " tabulation display screen " character display as shown in figure 15 " new schedule is created " and icon, as shown in figure 16, " thumbnail display screen " only shows that indicating this content is the icon of new schedule content creating.

Be similar to the front, also under the situation of " thumbnail display screen ", be located in focus under the state of icon of indication " new schedule is created ", controller part 12 has determined whether to carry out the push of acknowledgement key 25.If detect this operation, then handle and proceed to step S36.At step S36, show new schedule establishment screen thereby start the calendar management program.By this way, the user can create the new schedule of storage on the screen in the new schedule shown according to the calendar management program.In addition, when being shown, the calendar content of newly storing schedule by figure be presented on the daily calendar that calendar is browsed or day browses.

(memorandum ejection display operation)

To describe memorandum below and eject display operation.When focus has been positioned in that calendar is browsed or has crossed the preset time section on any date of the daily calendar that day browses or when longer, controller part 12 (according to the memorandum ejection function) operation is to carry out and ejection demonstration about corresponding content of the date in past on focus location date.Figure 17 illustrates the flow chart that memorandum ejects the flow process of display operation.

Processing shown in the flow chart of Figure 17 starts from according to being stored in one of two moment of the daily calendar applications in the memory 11.One is to detect to be positioned in to browse daily calendar with reference to figure 5 described calendars and take up an official post moment of inactive state of the focus on phase when.Another is to detect to be positioned in reference to Figure 12 and to browse daily calendar 13 described days and take up an official post moment of inactive state of the focus on phase when.That is to say, browsed or browse day the moment that daily calendar takes up an official post on phase when by continuous positioning at calendar and begin processing shown in Figure 17 detecting focus by controller part 12.

At step S61, controller part 12 reads the memorandum demonstration of previous setting from memory 11, and according to calculating by timer 10 measured temporal informations from the later institute of the inactive state elapsed time section that detects focus.Then, controller part 12 determines whether the time period that is calculated has exceeded the memorandum demonstration time of previous setting.

More specifically, as described with reference to figure 4A, in the mobile phone of present embodiment, each " fast ", " normally " and " at a slow speed " drop-down menu project allows to be provided with up to carrying out memorandum and ejects the time period that shows.For example, when selecting " first " menu item, after passing through " 5 second " later on, the inactive state that detects focus carries out memorandum ejection demonstration.Perhaps, when selecting " normally " menu item, eject demonstration later on through carrying out memorandum after for example " 7.5 second " from the inactive state that detects focus.Perhaps, when selecting " at a slow speed " menu item, later through for example carrying out memorandum ejection demonstration after " 10 second " from the inactive state that detects focus.

Therefore, at step S61, under above-mentioned sample situation, controller part 12 is determined.When selecting " first " menu item, determine whether passed through " 5 second " later on from the inactive state that detects focus.Perhaps, when selecting " normally " menu item, determine whether passed through " 7.5 second " later on from the inactive state that detects focus.Or, when detecting " at a slow speed " menu item, determine whether passed through " 10 second " later on from the inactive state that detects focus.Then, when detecting the memorandum demonstration time that has surpassed previous setting from the later elapsed time section of the inactive state that detects focus, then handle and proceeding to step S62.

At step S62, detect content (content) in the various contents from be stored in memory 11 with the earliest date with earliest time information.Then, processing proceeds to step S63.

At step S63, controller part 12 will be included in to have in the earliest date content and at detected temporal information of step S62 and the current date that extracts from timer 10 and compare.Thereby, controller part 12 determine the earliest date in the detected content of step S62 whether be the current time the year before or the date more in the early time.If the detected the earliest date of step S62 be confirmed as be the current time the year before or the date more in the early time, then handle proceeding to step S69.Otherwise, be date in the previous year current time if be comprised in the earliest date in the detected content of step S62, then handle and proceed to step S64.

Therefore, the earliest date in the detected content of step S62 is confirmed as the year before or after the date more in the early time of current time at step S63, handles proceeding to step S69.At step S69, controller part 12 attempt from memory 11 to detect corresponding to current focus corresponding date on date or approach the content of the predefined type on the date on date before on the daily calendar one month is browsed or browsed day to calendar before one month date of location.Yet, following situation may take place, its middle controller part 12 from memory 11, do not detect corresponding to current focus location corresponding date on date or approach the content of the predefined type on the date on date before month before one month date.In this case, controller part 12 attempt from memory 11 to detect corresponding to corresponding date on date or approach the content of the predefined type on the date on date the year before the year before on current focus location date.

As an example, in the mobile phone of present embodiment, by figure ground displaying contents with the memorandum ejection function of following priority orders:

1. the still image content of catching or obtaining by camera unit 8;

2. protect the reception of setting or the Email content of transmission;

3. calendar content;

4. pass through the still image content of network download; With

5. protect the reception of setting or the Email content of transmission.

Under the situation of carrying out memorandum ejection demonstration, detect various contents according to priority orders.

The detecting operation that detects content at step S69 will be described in more detail below.Controller part 12 is at first attempted to detect the appearance of corresponding content of date before with the current focus location date one month or is not occurred.The content on date before not detecting corresponding to one month, then controller part 12 is attempted to detect the appearance of corresponding content of date before with the current focus location date 2 years or is not occurred.Therefore, controller part 12 is attempted by detecting the appearance of content that year of sequentially getting back to the date under the content the earliest with " annual basis " or not occurring.

By an example, can suppose following situation now, detect content as having the content of the earliest date, and be on September 13rd, 2005 on the focus location date that calendar is browsed or browsed day on the daily calendar with on July 10th, 2003.In this case, controller part 12 at first attempt from memory 11 to detect corresponding to one month before the corresponding content in 13 days September in 2004 on date.

Before not detecting accurately corresponding to one month during the content on date (, when such content not occurring), controller part 12 attempt from memory 11 to detect with corresponding to the corresponding content of each date in for example week (6 to 12 September in 2004 and 14 to 20 September in 2004) before or after the 13 days September in 2004 on date the year before.

Before not detecting accurately corresponding to each one month during this content on date, controller part 12 attempts to detect the content on date before corresponding to the current focus location date 2 years from memory 11.

Before not detecting accurately corresponding to 2 years during this content on date (, when such content not occurring), controller part 12 attempt from memory 11 to detect with corresponding to the corresponding content of each date in for example week (6 to 12 September in 2003 and 14 to 20 September in 2003) before or after the 13 days September in 2003 on date before 2 years.

Therefore, controller part 12 is attempted by detecting the appearance of content that year of sequentially getting back to the date under the content the earliest with " annual basis " or not occurring.

Then, at step S70, controller part 12 is determined the appearance of detected content in the detection on " annual basis " or is not occurred.If detect the content of above-mentioned predefined type, then handle in detection and proceed to step S66 constantly.Otherwise,, then handle and proceed to step S71 if do not detect the content of above-mentioned predefined type.

If at step S63, controller part 12 determines that the earliest date was not before one month or the date more in the early time, and then at step S64, controller part 12 determines whether the earliest date is the date before one month or more in the early time.If this earliest date was confirmed as before one month or the date more in the early time, then handles and proceed to step S71.Otherwise,, then handle and proceed to step S65 if the earliest date is confirmed as not being the date in one month.

If at step S64, the earliest date was confirmed as before one month or the date more in the early time, even and if when carrying out the content detection on " annual basis " at step S69 and S70, also do not detect corresponding content, then controller part 12 is carried out the content detection on " every month basis " at step S71.

At step S71, controller part 12 at first attempt to detect the date before corresponding to the current focus location date one month content appearance or do not occur.Before not detecting corresponding to one month during the content on date, then controller part 12 is attempted to detect corresponding to the appearance of the content on date two months ago on current focus location date or is not occurred.Therefore, controller part 12 is attempted by sequentially getting back to " every month basis " that month on the date under the content the earliest, detects the appearance of content or does not occur.

By an example, suppose following situation now, the content that wherein detects the date with on November 10th, 2004 is as having the content of the earliest date, and is on September 13rd, 2005 on the current focus location date that calendar is browsed or browsed day on the daily calendar.In the case, controller part 12 at first attempt from memory 11 to detect with locate month of date corresponding to current focus before 13 days Augusts in 2005 on date and the corresponding content of each date in for example week before or after 13 days Augusts in 2005 (6 to 12 August in 2004 and 14 to 20).

During this content on date, controller part 12 attempts to detect from memory 11 and the 13 days July in 2005 on the date two months ago of locating the date corresponding to current focus and the corresponding content of each date in for example week before or after 13 days July in 2005 (6 to 12 July in 2004 and 14 to 20) before not detecting accurately corresponding to each one month.

Therefore, controller part 12 is attempted by sequentially getting back to " every month basis " that month on the date under the content the earliest, detects the appearance of content or does not occur.Then, at step S72, controller part 12 determines that detected content occurs or do not occur in " every month basis " detected.If detect the content of above-mentioned predefined type, then handle in detection and proceed to step S66 constantly.Otherwise,, then handle and proceed to step S65 if do not detect the content of above-mentioned predefined type.

If at step S64, the earliest date is the date in one month and is confirmed as date in one month, even and if when step S71 and S72 carry out the content detection on " every month basis ", also do not detect corresponding content when, then at step S65, controller part 12 is determined the date according to random digit the date between current focus location date and the earliest date randomly.Then, processing proceeds to step S66.

If at step S66, detect on " annual basis ", " every month basis " detected, perhaps with detecting each content in the machine testing, then at step S66, each content is presented on the display part 5 by ejection, and indication is stored in during memorandum in the memory shown in Figure 1 11 tabulates by the historical information of figure ground content displayed.

Figure 18 to Figure 20 is respectively the demonstration example that ejects the content that presents in the demonstration at memorandum.Figure 18 browses the demonstration example that is ejected content displayed under the situation of daily calendar at displaying calendar.In the demonstration example of Figure 18, focus is positioned in the calendar in October, 2005 and browses on the October 13 (corresponding to current in this example or date of operation) of daily calendar, wherein detects and eject the content of demonstration corresponding to the 13 days October in 2004 on the date the year before on October 13rd, 2005.

Figure 19 is the demonstration example that ejects content displayed on the tabulation display screen of daily calendar browsing day.In this example, focus is positioned on the birthday content on 23 days September in 2005, thereby and correspondingly, detect and also eject the content that shows corresponding on September 22nd, 2004.

Usually, in this case, the content that shows corresponding to the 23 days September in 2004 on date the previous year on the 23rd September in 2005 will be ejected.Yet, in the example of Figure 19, owing to there not be to occur content, eject and show corresponding to belonging on September 23rd, 2004 before or the content in September 22 of time period afterwards corresponding on September 23rd, 2004.

Figure 20 is the demonstration example that ejects content displayed on the thumbnail display screen of daily calendar browsing day.In demonstration example shown in Figure 20, focus is positioned on the thumbnail corresponding to the still image content on September 23rd, 2005, thereby and correspondingly, detect and also eject the content that shows corresponding on September 23rd, 2004.

Eject in the demonstration at such memorandum, controller part 12 provides control so that eject demonstration in the zone except the display field of focus locating content.More specifically, in the example of Figure 18, focus be positioned in in fact by graphical display on the October 13 of display part 5 central authorities corresponding content.So, in the display field of current focus locating content, do not eject demonstration, but for example near display field 5 than the display field of lower portion in carry out (perhaps can in display field, carry out) near the higher-end of display part 5 part.

In addition, under the situation that is providing memorandum eject to show, by along the display part 5 short side direction arrange a plurality of contents of figure ground demonstration such as three contents.In the example of Figure 18; order with content priority detects three or a plurality of content, thereby shows the birthday content from left to right in display field (ejection display field), the Email content of reception that the still image (thumbnail) being caught or obtained by photograph part 8 and protection are provided with.When detecting two or still less during (one) content, remaining display field is shown as blank.

In addition, when four of appearance or a plurality of content that detects, figure ground shows before by the content beyond the content of graphical display in the subsequent operation that the memorandum ejection shows.More specifically, suppose following situation now, in the example of Figure 18, detect 6 still image contents as content corresponding on October 13rd, 2004.In this case, 12 storages of controller part are about ejecting the information (such as the identification information of each still image content) of three still image contents that present in the demonstration at memorandum.Then, eject under the situation of the subsequent operation that shows at the memorandum that will carry out that carries out corresponding on October 13rd, 2004, carry out memorandum according to institute's canned data and eject demonstration, three the different still image contents of three still image contents that present in showing with demonstration and previous memorandum ejection.Thereby, even when carrying out ejecting the operation that shows, eject when showing whenever carrying out memorandum corresponding to the memorandum of phase same date, can show different (a plurality of) contents.

Next, aforesaid memorandum eject show after, at the step S67 of the flow chart of Figure 17, the mode of operation of controller part 12 supervisory work parts 6, thereby and the operation that has determined whether to carry out to move current static focus.Continue memorandum and eject demonstration, and processing proceeds to step S68 when detecting the moving focal point operation up to the operation that detects moving focal point.

At step S68, owing to detect the operation of moving focal point, close current memorandum and eject and show, then as the termination of the entire process of the flow chart of Figure 17 5 to disappear from the display part.That is to say, during the inactive state of focus, carry out memorandum and eject demonstration, and when detecting the focus operation, stop.Thereby, can only not have operating period to carry out the memorandum ejection and show the user, make that therefore can stop the user to operate by memorandum ejection demonstration bothers.

(memorandum tabulation display operation)

As mentioned above, after carrying out memorandum ejection demonstration, about being stored in the memorandum tabulation of memory 11 in the information that memorandum ejects each content on showing by graphical display.Scheduled operation by the user can show the memorandum tabulation.When the date in the desired content of selection from the memorandum tabulation, show corresponding to the day on selected date browsing daily calendar.Flow process in this operation shown in the flow chart of Figure 21.According to daily calendar applications, when displaying calendar on display part 5 is browsed or day browsed daily calendar, start the processing of flow chart.

At step S81, controller part 12 supervisory work parts 6, thus and determined whether to carry out to specify the demonstration that shows memorandum tabulation operation.

As an example, when expectation shows the memorandum tabulation, browse or day browse under the state of daily calendar at displaying calendar, the user carries out the push of the 4th soft key 29 shown in Fig. 2 A.At step S81, controller part 12 determine the 4th soft keys 29 push appearance or do not occur, thereby and determined whether to specify the demonstration of memorandum tabulation.When detecting the push of the 4th soft key 29, handle proceeding to step S82.

At step S82, on display part 5, show the memorandum tabulation that is stored in the memory 11.Figure 22 illustrates the demonstration example of memorandum tabulation.As an example, four memorandums of storage eject the history that shows in the memorandum tabulation in being stored in memory 11.In the example of Figure 22, in the memorandum tabulation of memory 11, store each memorandum on September 23rd, 2003, on April 30th, 2004, on August 6th, 2004 and on September 23rd, 2004 and eject the history that shows.

Then, focus is positioned on nearest of each history of memorandum tabulation, as default.Be held under the state that is positioned at desired history in focus, the user carries out the operation of moving focal point and carries out the push of acknowledgement key 25.Thereby the user selects desired history.At step S83, detect the mode of operation of acknowledgement key 25, thereby determine whether to have carried out desired historic choice operation.If detect the push of acknowledgement key 25, then handle and proceed to step S84.Otherwise,, then handle and proceed to step S85 if do not detect.

Therefore, owing to detect the push of acknowledgement key 25,,, and on display part 5, show based on the day on the date of being detected browsing daily calendar for the date of the current focus position history in the memorandum tabulation is detected at step S84.Then, the entire process of Figure 21 flow chart stops.

More specifically, in the example of Figure 22, be positioned in focus under the state of the history in September 23 in 2003 for example, if detect the push of acknowledgement key 25, then show on display part 5 and day browse the tabulation display screen of daily calendar, it has been described in front with reference to Figure 12.More specifically, show with the form of each content in location September 23 in the central authorities of the display field of display part 5 and day browse daily calendar.Thereby, can browse the details of verifying on the daily calendar from the history of memorandum tabulation selection day.

In this example, when so from the memorandum tabulation, selecting history, show " the tabulation display screen " of browsing daily calendar day corresponding to the date of selected history.Yet, can arrange like this so that show " thumbnail display screen " (seeing Fig. 1 3) of browsing daily calendar corresponding to the day on date of selected history.

Proceed to step S85 when handling when step S83 does not detect the push of acknowledgement key 25, in this step, controller part 12 determines whether to carry out display screen is turned back to the just operation of shown first forth screen before showing the memorandum tabulation.As an example, in the mobile phone of present embodiment, under the state that demonstrates the memorandum tabulation, when detecting the push of clear key 32 (shown in Fig. 2 A), display screen turns back to just shown first forth screen before showing the memorandum tabulation.

So, at step S85, controller part 12 determine clear keys 32 push appearance or do not occur, thereby determine whether to carry out display screen is turned back to the operation of first forth screen.If detect the push of clear key 32, then handle and proceed to step S86.At step S86, showing on the display part 5 that the calendar that just was shown is browsed or day is browsed daily calendar before the tabulation of demonstration memorandum.Then, the entire process shown in the flow chart of Fig. 21 stops.

Perhaps, if do not detect the push of clear key 32 at step S85, then at step S87, controller part 12 monitor any other key except clear key 32 push appearance or do not occur.If do not detect the push of any other key, then handle and turn back to step S82, and continue to show the memorandum tabulation.Otherwise if detect the push of any other key, then the entire process shown in the flow chart of Figure 21 stops when detecting, and carries out the processing corresponding to the key that is pressed.

More specifically, in the mobile phone of present embodiment, under the state that shows the memorandum tabulation, when pressing the 3rd soft key 28, show main menu, and when pressing on-hook key 31, daily calendar applications stops.At step S87, monitor to detect such as the appearance of the push of the key of the 3rd soft key 28 or on-hook key 31 or not occur.When the push that detects such as the key of the 3rd soft key 28 or on-hook key 31, the processing shown in the flow chart of Figure 21 stops.Then, carry out the control operation controlled such as the termination of the demonstration of main menu control and daily calendar applications.

(other memorandum ejects display operation-1)

As mentioned above, above-mentioned memorandum ejects display operation and presents based on the memorandum ejection demonstration such as " date in past " on the date of focus before the date or one month the year before on date of location.Perhaps, yet, as hereinafter described, can be that memorandum ejection display operation is carried out on the basis with " past content quantity ".

Figure 23 illustrates the flow chart that ejects the flow process of display operation according to the memorandum of " past content quantity " in the mobile phone of embodiment.In the flow chart of Figure 23, with identical number of steps designate similar in the operating procedure of those flow charts of Figure 17, thereby and will omit its each description.

With reference to the flow chart of Figure 23, browse or day browse under the state of daily calendar at displaying calendar, if detect the inactive state of focus, then at step S61, the memorandum that detects previous setting ejects the passage of demonstration time.Then, in the memorandum demonstration moment of time lapse, handle proceeding to step S91.

At step S91, according to being provided for the temporal information that is stored in each content in the memory 11, controller part 12 detects the content that had the date of maximum content in the date in past of locating the date about the focus of content.

More specifically, browse or day browse on the daily calendar, for example,, from memory 11, detect content with the date before 13 days September in 2005 when focus is positioned in when going up on September 13rd, 2005 at calendar.Then, from September 13rd, 2005 or date before, detect date, and the content on this date is set ejects content displayed as memorandum with maximum content.

Then, described with reference to the flow chart of Figure 17, at step S66, the content that shows the date with maximum content is up to detect the operation that moving focal point detects at step S67.

For example, under the situation that the user travels or attends a wedding, produce a large amount of still images.Similarly, under the situation of carrying out commercial affairs arrangement or schedule by Email, produce the bulk electronic mail content.So, the date with a large amount of contents represents that this date is certain key dates.

So, browse or day browse on the daily calendar, had from focus and select to have the date of maximum content the date in past before the date of location, and present content corresponding to the date of being detected and eject as memorandum and show at calendar.Thereby the content that can present the date with certain key dates that may be confirmed as the user in the past more greatly ejects demonstration as memorandum.

(other memorandum ejects display operation-2)

Show in order to realize that memorandum ejects, can carry out memorandum according to above-mentioned " date in past " and " past content quantity " and eject demonstration.Figure 24 illustrates by eject the flow chart of the flow process of display operation in conjunction with the memorandum on " date in past " and " past content quantity ".In the flow chart of Figure 24,, thereby and omit its each description with identical number of steps designate similar those operating procedures in the flow chart of Figure 17.

With reference to the flow chart of Figure 24, browse or day browse under the state of daily calendar at displaying calendar, if detect the inactive state of focus, then at step S61, the memorandum that detects previous setting shows the passage of time.Then, processing proceeds to step S101 when memorandum shows the passage of time.

At step S101, controller part 12 detects the content of date before about date the year before (with approaching the date on the date the year before) content on focus location date and focus location date one month (with the date of approaching the date before one month).

At step S102, controller part 12 carry out about the date in past of browsing or browsing day the focus location date on the daily calendar at calendar with machine testing, and detect content corresponding to the date that is detected.

Then, at step S103, controller part 12 from about date the year before (with approaching the date on date the year before) on focus location date, date before one month date of location of focus that step S101 and S102 detect (with approach one month before date on date) and with the date of machine testing detect date with maximum content.

Then, described as the flow chart of reference Figure 17, at step S66, the content that presents the date with maximum content ejects the operation that shows up to detect the moving focal point detection at step S67 as memorandum.

Thereby, can present with browse or browse day focus location date on the daily calendar at calendar relevant and have the content on the date of certain key dates that may be confirmed as the user in the past more greatly and eject demonstration as memorandum.

(other memorandum ejects display operation-3)

It can be as follows that memorandum ejects the layout that shows, select in above-mentioned " annual detect ", " detecting in every month " and " with the machine testing " any randomly or according to predetermined probability, and the content that presents above-mentioned selected predefined type ejects demonstration as memorandum.Figure 28 illustrates the flow chart that the memorandum that presents this demonstration ejects the flow process of display operation.In the flow process of Figure 28,, thereby and will omit its each description with identical number of steps designate similar those operating procedures in the flow chart of Figure 17.

With reference to the flow chart of Figure 28, browse or day browse under the state of daily calendar at displaying calendar, if detect the inactive state of focus, then detect the passage that the previous memorandum that is provided with shows the time at step S61.Then, in the memorandum demonstration moment of time lapse, handle proceeding to step S62.At step S62, detection has the content of the earliest date, and processing proceeds to S141.

At step S141, controller part 12 determines to carry out above-mentioned " the annual detection ", which (detection) in " detecting in every month " and " with the machine testing " according to predetermined probability.As an example, in the mobile phone of present embodiment, probability is predetermined to be: probability=33% that " the annual detection " selected; " detected " probability=33% of selecting in every month; And probability=33% of " with machine testing " selection.Therefore, determine " the annual detection ", any in " detecting in every month " and " with the machine testing " with identical in fact probability.

Can aforesaid probability be set enough predetermined weights, as: " the annual detection " determines probability=60% of (selection); " detected " probability=30% of determining in every month; And " with machine testing " selects probability=10%.In this case, " the annual detection " definite probability is the highest.Perhaps, layout can be that probability can be set to the desired value of user alternatively.

Then, at step S142 and step S143, controller part 12 determines to carry out in " the annual detection " and " detection in every month ".If " the annual detection " is confirmed as then handling and proceeding to step S145 what carry out.Otherwise, if " detecting in every month " is confirmed as then handling and proceeding to step S146 what carry out.Perhaps, if in " annual detect " and " detecting in every month " any is confirmed as not being performed, then definite " with machine testing ".Then, processing proceeds to step S144.

Owing to the decision of making execution " annual detect " is handled and carried out step S145,, from the year corresponding, determine 1 year at random with date range from the earliest date to the current date in this step.In addition, the current focus location date of browsing or browsing on the daily calendar day corresponding to the year of being detected at calendar is identified as basic point, and detects the content that has near the date of this basic point.

Suppose, near the content on date of basic point, by separating the content that is detected respectively along date with respect to the equal number of the past direction of the basic point of central authorities and following direction.More specifically, suppose, for example, have two contents, quilt separated along three dates from the past direction of basic point, and another was separated along three dates from the following direction of basic point.In this case, controller part 12 detects the content that separates from the past direction of basic point as near the content on date of basic point.

Handle and proceed to step S146 owing to having made decision that execution " detected " in every month, in this step, from corresponding to from the date is determined one month at random to the middle of the month of the date range of current date the year before.In addition, the current focus location date of browsing or browsing on the daily calendar day corresponding to the detected moon at calendar is identified as basic point, and detects the content that has near the date of basic point.

Equally in " detecting in every month ", under the situation that content was separated respectively by the date along the equal number of past direction and following direction, controller part 12 detects the content that is separated along the past direction from basic point as near the content on date of basic point.

Because the decision of having made execution " with machine testing " is handled and proceeded to step S144, in this step, controller part 12 detects has the content of browsing or browse day the date in past on the current focus location date on the daily calendar about calendar.Then, processing proceeds to step S66.

At step S66, the content that is presented on the content that detects in step S145 " annual detection ", the content that detects or detection in " with machine testing " in " detecting in every month " of step S146 ejects as memorandum and shows.In addition, history is stored in the memorandum tabulation in the memory 11.Continue memorandum and eject demonstration up to the operation that detects moving focal point at step S67.

Therefore, according to predetermined probability or select in " the annual detection ", " detecting in every month " and " with the machine testing " any randomly, thereby and present selected content and eject demonstration as memorandum.Thereby the memorandum that can realize having the regularity of specific degrees and randomness ejects and shows.

(being used for linking the link processing of still image content and the personal information that is stored in phone directory)

Will be described below the link processing that is used for linking still image content and the personal information that is stored in phone directory.Mobile phone according to present embodiment, the people of imaging or the people by imaging in the still image content of network download on the still image content that appointment is captured by camera unit 8, and this person is linked in the people's who registers personal information in phone directory.This makes it possible to carry out direct-dial telephone conversation or Email transmission for the people corresponding with the image of selecting from the still image content.

Figure 25 is illustrated in the flow process of the operation of the personal information corresponding from nominator's step to link to the scope of its step.Still image content that catch by camera unit 8 or by network download is stored in the memory 11.When storage, start the flow process shown in the flow chart according to the face image link handling procedure that is stored in the memory 11.

Start from step S111, extract the face image part in the still image content that has been stored in the memory 11 by controller part 12.Then, processing proceeds to step S112.More specifically, under situation, extract each one face image part such as many people's of one group of photo still image.Even under the situation of single people's still image content only, also extract people's face image part by identical mode.

At step S112, carry out extracting at step S111 each one face image and be stored in comparison between the image of each user in the phone directory in the memory 11.At step S113, controller part 12 determines whether to occur among the user in the phone directory user of coupling at the people's of step S111 detection face image in being registered in memory 11.

If determine not occur the user of coupling, then handle and proceed to step S116.Otherwise,, then handle proceeding to step S114 if determine to occur the user of coupling.

At step S114, obtain to be stored in the personal information in the phone directory, for example, comprise the personal information of the telephone number and the e-mail address of match user.Then, processing proceeds to step S115.At step S115, link processing, be used for linking still image content that has been stored in memory 11 and the personal information that is stored in the phone directory.Then, stop in the entire process shown in the flow chart of Figure 25.

More specifically, memory 11 comprises the link information table, and the following content of controller part 12 storages is in table:

1. the identifier number of still image content (perhaps, " ID " hereinafter);

2. the ID of each face image that from the still image content, extracts;

3. the link information that is used for linking each face image and is registered in each user of phone directory;

For link information, controller part 12 is for example stored the accession designation number corresponding to each user in the link information table, such as the physical address in the phone directory that is comprised in storage user personal information or be comprised in sequence numbering in the phone directory.

As mentioned above, when when step S113 determines the user of coupling not occur, handle proceeding to step S116.At step S116, the following content of controller part 12 registrations is in the link information table:

1. the ID of still image content;

2. from the ID of each face image of still image contents extraction;

3. the no link information of the personal information in the phone directory does not appear being comprised in indication.

Then, stop in the entire process shown in the flow chart of Figure 25.

(transmit operation automatically)

Hereinafter automatic transfer operation will be described.As mentioned above, link processing, be used for being linked at each individual and the personal information that is comprised in phone directory of imaging on the still image.Thereby directly (automatically) carries out telephone relation, Email transmission or the like to the user corresponding to the image of selecting from the still image content.Figure 26 is the flow chart that the operating process of this automatic telephone conversation or Email transmission is shown.When on the tabulation of daily calendar or thumbnail display screen, specifying the demonstration of still image content, begin the flow process shown in the flow chart according to the face image link handling procedure that is stored in the memory 11.

At step S121, the browser function that starts the photograph control program is used to show the still image content.Then, processing proceeds to step S122.

At step S122, controller part 12 is come the Reference-links information table according to the ID of the still image content that is used to show.Thereby, controller part 12 determine to be registered in the people in the phone directory image appearance or do not occur.

More specifically, as mentioned above, when the personal information that in phone directory, do not have to occur corresponding to the user, the no link information that personal information does not appear in the ID of storage user face image and indication in phone directory in the link information table.So, controller part 12 is determined corresponding to the appearance of the no link information of the interested still image content that is used to show or is not occurred.Thereby controller part 12 can easily detect corresponding to the people's who is not stored in the personal information in the phone directory appearance from the people of imaging on the still image content or not occur.If, do not detect appearance at step S122 corresponding to the people who is not stored in the personal information in the phone directory, then handle proceeding to step S123.Otherwise,, then handle and proceed to step S126 if detect appearance corresponding to the people who is not stored in the personal information in the phone directory.

Proceed to step S123 when not detecting the man-hour processing that is not stored in the personal information in the phone directory,, on display part 5, show the still image content in this step.Simultaneously, focus is positioned in anyone part of face part such as imaging on the still image content.

Perhaps, proceed to step S126,, on display part 5, show the still image content in this step when detecting to handle corresponding to the man-hour that is not stored in the personal information in the phone directory.Therefore, among the people of imaging, gray scale shows this face's part (that is to say, corresponding to the people who is stored in the no link information in the link information table) corresponding to the people who is not stored in the personal information in the phone directory on the still image content.In addition, among the people of imaging, the focus location also shows such as this face part corresponding to the people who is stored in the personal information in the phone directory on the still image content.

The content of front make observed the still image content that on display part 5, shows the user apace (perhaps in a flash) identify corresponding to the people who is stored in the personal information in the phone directory.

Be positioned on anyone of imaging on the still image content focus between each image of people or among be movably.To detect the unit of being operating as of cross key 24, on each individual, sequentially carry out focus and move and show control.

Be positioned in focus under anyone situation of imaging on the still image content, when detecting the push of acknowledgement key 25, on display part 5, show to allow the user or carry out telephone relation or create the selection screen of Email mail.Selecting on the screen, the user selects telephone relation or e-mail creation.

At the step S124 and the S127 of flow chart shown in Figure 26, which in telephone relation or the e-mail creation be controller part 12 definite (perhaps detecting) selected.If selected e-mail creation, then handle and proceed to step S125.Otherwise,, then handle and proceed to step S128 if selected telephone relation.

When selecting e-mail creation, handle and proceed to step S125, in this step, the Reference-links information table, and from wherein detecting corresponding to the link information that just is positioned at the image of the people on the still image by focus.Then, according to this link information, read the e-mail address that is registered in the people in the phone directory, and on display part 5, show the e-mail creation screen of being read, be used to create the Email mail of e-mail address with the input domain that is imported into the addressee.

The content of front make may be only the text of the title of Email mail (subject name) and Email mail carries out transmit operation by for example importing, directly send an email to the pairing people of the image of on the still image content, selecting.

When selecting telephone relation, handle and proceed to step S128, in this step, the Reference-links information table, and from wherein detecting corresponding to the link information that just is positioned at the individual image on the still image by focus.Then, according to this link information, control telecommunication circuit 2 is to send telephone relation to the telephone number that is stored in the people in the phone directory.Thereby the user can directly carry out telephone relation and give the pairing people of image who selects on the still image content.

(obtain by gray scale show its image the people personal information obtain operation)

Describe below to obtain and shown its image by gray scale or corresponding to the people's of the image that is shown by gray scale on the still image content personal information.As mentioned above, gray scale shows the pairing people of personal information who is not stored in the phone directory on the still image content on being displayed on display part 5.Can from other user's mobile phone, obtain the pairing people's of image who is shown by gray scale personal information.Figure 27 is the flow chart that the flow process of obtaining operation of the personal information that is used to obtain the pairing people of image who is shown by gray scale is shown.

According to face image link handling procedure, focus be positioned in shown by the pairing people's of image state by gray scale under, when detecting the push of acknowledgement key 25, start the flow process of this flow chart.

At step S131, controller part 12 shows phone directory and such as the message of " selective reception people " on display part 5.Thereby, promote the recipient that the user removes to select the pairing people's of image that shown by gray scale face image.

In response, (mobile phone of present embodiment) user will select to have the user with the corresponding people's of image who is shown by gray scale personal information from phone directory.At step S132, controller part 12 determines whether to carry out recipient user's selection operation.When carrying out selection operation, handle proceeding to step S133.

At step S133,12 operations of controller part are as follows.E-mail address by importing the recipient user who selects therein from phone directory and such as the message of " please give the personal information of the people of imaging on my attached image " is created Email automatically.The title of the transmission solicited message that comprises the transmission request of indicating the Email mail will make personal information is provided to Email in addition.

(effect/advantage of embodiment)

From the description that the front is given, know clearly,, detect the content that belongs to identical time range according to the temporal information that is included in the various dissimilar contents according to the mobile phone of present embodiment.The project that shows the content relational graph information (for example icon, thumbnail etc.) that belongs to identical time range by time sequence pattern ground.In other statement, be that the demonstration of figure ground has the project of the temporal information of the time range that belongs to each date at the content correlated information of interior content, such as icon and/or thumbnail on the daily calendar cut apart of unit in time range with date definition.

Thereby, can be on daily calendar be that the unit concentrated area shows dissimilar contents with each date.Therefore, the user can belong to such as one month or each dissimilar content of the long-time scope in 1 year in the concentrated area checking, and can retrieve desired content easily He apace from a plurality of dissimilar contents.

Owing to can be the dissimilar content of unit concentrated area like this graphical display with each date, so the user can have an opportunity to produce next action from bygone spare.This can finish with following mode, remembers a friend from the thumbnail of for example still image content and/or in the Email content of the Email of transmission/reception, and user's send Email once more gives this friend.

By being that unit automatically distributes, come this content of figure ground demonstration on daily calendar with the temporal information that is comprised in each content.So, the user is enough to carry out normal terminal (equipment) operation, for example sends and receive operation, and uses camera unit 8 to remove the imaging operation that obtains to show.That is to say, can be on daily calendar figure ground show each content and non-force users is for example taked special operation and attention.

Since with each date on daily calendar be the dissimilar content of unit concentrated area graphical display, daily calendar can be used as for example passes by operation history or daily record.

For example, to be presented at by figure ground under the situation of day browsing on the daily calendar in the Email content that sends and birthday content, under user's the situation of still image, browsing the thumbnail that shows still image on the daily calendar day corresponding to phone directory and personal information log-on field.Therefore, can easily discern corresponding to transmission source and addressee's user and corresponding to the user of this birthday.

By specifying, come the default daily interested content relational graph information on the calender that is used to be presented at such as showing and filtering the setting that is provided with.The content relational graph information that therefore, only can in daily calendar, show expectation.Therefore, only can be on daily calendar the desired content of figure ground explicit user, thereby make and be more prone to and retrieve apace desired content.

By using character information, icon and thumbnail to come the survey of figure ground displaying contents day to look at " the tabulation display screen " of daily calendar, so that make the user can easily discern " content " of content corresponding to content.In addition, by at first use is for example corresponding to the icon and the thumbnail of content, day is browsed " thumbnail screen " figure ground displaying contents of daily calendar, so that make the user can discern a lot of contents at one time.

By suppressing sleazy (a plurality of) territory that shows date, day is browsed daily calendar figure ground displaying contents.Change a kind of statement, displaying contents is so that the date display field is located adjacent one another.Thereby, can browse the content that figure ground shows even more accelerates on the daily calendar day.

Be used for browsing under the situation of a plurality of rest image contents of one of each display field graphical display on the date on the daily calendar in existence at calendar, from a plurality of still images, select a still image and with its figure be presented in the display field.Then, with preset time at interval, such as three, six or 12 hours, from a plurality of still image contents, select except corresponding to current by the still image content the still image content of the thumbnail of graphical display.Thereby, can browse interested thumbnail shown in the display field on the date that is updated in still image content on the daily calendar at calendar at interval with preset time with a plurality of graphical displays.Therefore, for example when the user observed calendar at interval and browses daily calendar with preset time, the user can browse new thumbnail each the observation when calendar is browsed daily calendar.

Focus be held be positioned at have on calendar is browsed the date display field of a plurality of still image contents of graphical display in each display field on the date on the daily calendar, passed through the preset time section or longer, such as three seconds or longer situation under, the thumbnail of the still image content of graphical display in the display field on date is updated to the thumbnail of new still image content.Then, when focus just is positioned, the thumbnail of display update.Thereby, sequentially upgrade and show thumbnail, so that the user can be only discerned all still image contents corresponding to this date by positioning of focal in the display field on desired date corresponding to the still image content on focus location date.

To a year index, month index or date index, can be that basic change will be by the graphical display of the content of graphical display by moving focal point with every year, every month or every day.Therefore, can be from detecting desired content easily and promptly based on annual, every month or a large amount of content that added up every day.

Change into and day browse under the situation of daily calendar browsing daily calendar from calendar, specify sleazy date during display field when browsing at calendar on the daily calendar, figure ground shows and is used to specify the new schedule content creating that new schedule is registered in the display field on specified date.Therefore, the user can easily carry out new schedule registration by specifying the sleazy date.

(memorandum ejects the effect/advantage of Presentation Function)

Mobile phone according to present embodiment, the inactive state that detects focus on the daily calendar has continued predetermined amount of time or when longer when browsing at calendar or browsing day, controller part 12 detects about the current focus pairing content of date in past on location date with the priority orders of annual basis, every month basis and random basis, and figure ground shows and will be coated over that calendar is browsed or day browse content on the daily calendar.

When presenting when browsing or browsing day calendar type that calendar shows and show such as calendar, user's consciousness tends to be directed to the date (date in the future) after the present date.Yet, come figure ground to show that mode such as the past content of content before a year or month, user's consciousness page or leaf may be directed to the date of passing by to eject Presentation Function according to memorandum.Therefore, the past memorandum (content) that passes into silence in time can be discerned again, and the unheeded content on date can be newly discerned over.

In addition, eject demonstration, then can under the situation of leaving user's operation alone, carry out the memorandum ejection and show owing to when detecting the inactive state of focus, carry out memorandum.In addition and since when detect the inactive state of focus automatically (passively) carry out memorandum and eject and show, then can avoid being used for memorandum and eject the necessity that the special user that shows operates.

In addition, when the content that occurs exceeding with the quantity of while graphical display, eject when showing the different content of figure ground demonstration whenever carrying out memorandum.Therefore, for example, can further increase content and discern the probability of discerning with fresh content again.

The priority orders of carrying out memorandum ejection demonstration is as follows:

1. the still image content of catching or obtaining by camera unit 8;

2. protect the reception of setting or the Email content of transmission;

3. calendar content;

4. pass through the still image content of network download; With

5. the reception that non-protection is provided with or the Email content of transmission.

Therefore, the content with high probability memorandum memory that preferentially presents the user ejects as memorandum and shows, makes it possible to therefore realize that the information with high practical value shows.

In addition, show that ejecting content displayed relational graph information as memorandum is stored in the memorandum tabulation as historical.When expectation was identified in the details of the content of graphical display in the memorandum tabulation, the user selected the date corresponding to desired content identified from the memorandum tabulation.Thereby what show this content browses daily calendar pairing day on date as memorandum ejection demonstration.Therefore, the user can be identified in and day browse the details that ejects the content that shows and be presented on the daily calendar as memorandum.

(be used for linking the still image content and be stored in effect/advantage that the link of the personal information of phone directory is handled)
