And temporarily displays the received received memo information on the display device 103 in accordance with the memo information display control processing program (step A1).
A display example of the received memo information on the display device 103 is shown in FIG.
This is shown in FIG.

When a predetermined range of the received memo information displayed on the display device 103 is specified from the tablet 102 and an instruction to reduce the received memo information in the predetermined range is issued (step A2), the CPU 101 causes the RAM 104 Of the received memo information stored in the memo information buffer, the received memo information in a specified predetermined range is reduced, and the other part of the received memo information is deleted and stored in the memo information buffer area. Further, the reduced received memo information in the predetermined range is displayed on the display device 103 (step A3). The specification of the received memo information to be reduced is, for example, performed by the display device 1
The user specifies a reduction target range of the received memo information displayed at 03 with an input pen (not shown) on the tablet 102. FIG.
In (a), received memo information (portion on which a map around the station is written) specified as a reduction target range is indicated by displaying a dotted-line rectangular area.

FIG. 3B shows a screen display example after reducing the received memo information in the designated rectangular area. The handwritten input character part "place is here" in the received memo information has been deleted because it is outside the reduction target range.
Note that the instruction to reduce the received memo information for a predetermined range is
For example, it may be possible to reduce the size to an arbitrary size by designating and moving one of the corners of the rectangular area indicating the reduction target range using an input pen (not shown), or to set the magnification on the display screen. Alternatively, a menu may be displayed to allow selection. Also, numerical information indicating the magnification is input to the tablet 102.
May be specified by inputting the information in a predetermined area.

After a predetermined range of the received memo information is reduced, when memo information is newly input from the tablet 102 to an empty space on the display screen of the display device 103, the CPU 101 According to the input control processing program of the RAM 104, the input of the newly input additional memo information is received, and the reply memo information composed of the received additional memo information and the received memo information with a predetermined range reduced is converted to the memo information. Store in the buffer area. Further, the CPU 101 displays the reply memo information on the display device 103 according to the memo information display control processing program (step A4). In FIG. 3 (b), additional memo information of "Which mouth tell me a little more" is displayed, which is added to an empty space of the reduced map information (reception memo information) around the station.

When the tablet 102 issues a reply memo information transmission instruction, the CPU 101 transmits the reply memo information stored in the memo information buffer area to another wireless communication device 105 according to the communication control processing program in the RAM 104. The data is transmitted to the wireless communication device (step A5). Here, when transmitting the transmission memo information, for example, the reception memo information and the additional memo information are divided by a display area on the display screen and transmitted separately. For the received memo information, information indicating the display area, the size of the display area, the reduction ratio, and the like are transmitted together with the received memo information. As for the additional memo information, information indicating the display area is transmitted together with the additional memo information. For the transmission instruction of the reply memo information, for example, an icon for instructing transmission is displayed on the display screen of the display device 103, and the coordinate position of the tablet 102 corresponding to the display position of this icon is illustrated.

Determines whether or not the magnification at the time of reduction has been input from the tablet 102 (step B8), and if the magnification information at the time of reduction has been input, the received memo information is reduced based on the input magnification information. Then, the storage contents of the memo information buffer area of the RAM 104 are updated and displayed on the display device 103 (step B9). FIG. 5 shows an example in which the entirety of the received memo information is reduced and displayed.

If it is determined in step B2 that automatic execution of reduction of the entire received memo information is not set, the CPU 101 determines whether the tablet 102 has instructed to reduce the received memo information. Is determined (step B7), and if it is determined that an instruction to reduce the received memo information has been issued, the process proceeds to step B3. For the input of the magnification at the time of reduction in step B8, it is possible to employ the method of designating the reduction magnification for the memo information in the reduction target range in the first embodiment described above.

When the additional memo information is newly input to the empty space of the display device 103 after the entire received memo information is reduced, the CPU 101 accepts the input of the additional memo information, and Reply memo information composed of the received memo information and the received memo information reduced in size is stored in the memo information buffer area, and the reply memo information is displayed on the display device 103 (step B5). Then, when a transmission instruction is issued from the tablet 102 to the reply memo information, the CPU 101 causes the wireless communication device 105 to transmit the reply memo information stored in the memo information buffer area to another wireless communication device (step B6).
