DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable information communication system in which a specific center is accessed via a telephone network and information registered in a memory in advance is input in response to inquiry information from the center. About the terminal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional portable information communication terminal, a service for providing information using characters and graphics has been put into practical use due to technological advances such as miniaturization of a portable telephone and a large section of a display device. In this information providing service, communication is performed according to a predetermined protocol, and the obtained data is browsed by a browser installed in the portable information communication terminal. At this time, the data used for information provision generally uses a subset of the HTML language often used for information provision on the Internet. The HTML language embeds tags representing text attributes (title, link destination URL, image file name, input area, etc.) in a text sentence, and uses HTML.
You can view the formatted information using a browser that supports the language.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve these problems. When desired data is accessed from a menu screen, the data is transferred to a center via a telephone line. In a portable information communication terminal in which data is displayed on a display unit, a user name and a telephone number of the portable information communication terminal, which are relatively frequently inquired from the center, are previously registered in a memory. The present invention provides a portable information communication terminal capable of transmitting information based on information registered in the mobile information communication terminal.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining access of center information by a portable information communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention via a public network, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a screen when the user accesses a portable information communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a call destination name and a call destination number are input. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the arrangement of the portable information communication terminal input keys according to one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is an information providing server (referred to as a center), 2 is a public network, 3 is a base station, and 4 is a terminal equipped with an information browsing function (referred to as a portable information communication terminal). 4 can access a database stored in the center 1 via the base station 4 and the public network 2.

FIG. 2 shows a sequence displayed on the display screen of the portable information communication terminal 4 when the portable information communication terminal 4 accesses the center 1 via the base station 3 and the public network 2, and the display operation is performed. Will be described. First, the user inputs “3” from the menu screen of the information providing service displayed on the screen 1 to check the fortune of this week. The input “3” is transferred to the center 1, and the center 1 transfers the “fortune-telling of the week” information to the portable information communication terminal 4 based on the transferred information.
Is displayed.

[0008] "1" is input to select "horoscope" from "fortune-telling of the week" displayed on this screen 2, and the input "1" is transferred to center 1,
The center 1 transfers the information of the “horoscope” to the portable information communication terminal 4 based on the transferred information, and the contents of the screen 3 are displayed on the portable information communication terminal 4.

Here, the screen 3 is displayed so as to input the date of birth and blood type. However, if these date of birth and blood type are input using the input keys as shown in FIG. If the operation is troublesome. Therefore, the date of birth and blood type that are relatively frequently used are registered in the memory in advance.

[0010] Also, from the menu screen of the information providing service displayed on the screen 1 to apply for the prize, "2"
Enter The input “2” is transferred to the center 1, and the center 1 transfers “this week's notice” to the portable information communication terminal 4 based on the transferred information, and the contents of the screen 4 are displayed on the portable information communication terminal 4. Is displayed.

[0011] "2" is input to select "sweepstakes" information from "this week's notice" displayed on the screen 4, and the input "2" is transferred to the center 1,
In the center 1, the information of the "prize money" is transferred to the portable information communication terminal 4 based on the transferred information, and the contents of the screen 5 are displayed on the portable information communication terminal 4.

Here, the screen 5 is displayed so as to input a name and a telephone number. However, if these names and telephone numbers are input using input keys as shown in FIG. 4, the operation is troublesome. It is. Therefore, names and telephone numbers that are relatively frequently used are registered in the memory in advance.

The operation will be described with reference to FIG. The screen 5 shown in FIG. 2 is displayed so as to input a name and a telephone number (S1). Since these names and telephone numbers are frequently used, these names and telephone numbers are registered in the memory in advance, and the "1" key is operated while pressing the "play" button (S2). The registered name is called and entered in the “name” field of the screen 5 (S3).

Then, by performing a predetermined operation, the name and the telephone number are transmitted to the center 1 (S4). "The name and telephone number have been transmitted" is displayed on the screen, indicating that the name and telephone number have been successfully transmitted to the center (S5).

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, since frequently used information such as name, telephone number, date of birth and blood type is registered in the memory of the portable information communication terminal in advance, such information is required. Even when the input is performed, the input can be performed quickly and without causing an input error. Further, in the portable information communication terminal having the function of "owner information" in order to clarify the owner of the portable information communication terminal, the memory can be shared with the "owner information" by the function of the present invention.
