Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 2, the portable telephone according to the present invention is divided into a telephone main body 1 that is held and operated by hand and an incoming call indicator 2 that is worn on the wrist.

The telephone main body 1 has an antenna 4 protruding from the main body 3 and a cover lid 5 hinged thereon. The cover 6 covers the keyboard 6 on the surface of the main body 3 together with the small display section 7. It can be obtained. As shown in FIG. 3, the telephone main body 1 includes an external line communication section 8 for performing wireless communication with an external line, a main CPU 9, and a speaker 1 in the main body section 3.
0 and an extension communication unit 11 for performing digital communication with the incoming call indicator 2 by radio.

The main CPU 9 has an Internet connection function by packet communication in addition to a normal portable telephone function and a telephone directory function. The small display unit 7 can display only one line. Microphone 1 on cover lid 5
2 are built-in.

On the other hand, the incoming call display body 2 has a first band 14 and a second band 15 on both sides of its main body 13, and these bands 14 and 15 are detachably attached to the wrist like a watch band. I can do it. A color liquid crystal display section 16 having a sufficient display area capable of simultaneously displaying a plurality of rows is formed on the surface of the main body section 13 of the incoming call display body 2 and a response operation section is provided outside the main body section 13. An incoming call response button 17 is provided.

An extension communication unit 18 for performing wireless digital communication with the telephone body 1 is provided inside the main body 13.
Incoming call notification unit 1 such as vibrator, lamp, voice synthesis IC, etc.
9, a sub CPU 20 is provided. Sub CPU 20
Causes the color liquid crystal display unit 16 to display the display for the normal mobile phone function and the display for the Internet connection function processed by the main CPU 9, and notifies the incoming call notification unit 19 of the incoming call of the telephone body 1. When the incoming call response button 17 is pressed, the main CPU 9 is instructed to respond.

Communication between the telephone body 1 and the incoming call display 2 is performed by wireless digital communication in the extension communication units 11 and 18, and by registering a unique ID number, Telephone body 1 and incoming call display 2 whose numbers match
Mutual transmission / reception is enabled only between and.

Next, the operation of the portable telephone will be described. The registration of the ID numbers of the telephone body 1 and the incoming call display 2 and the registration of the telephone directory and the reading of the registered contents are performed by operating the keys of the keyboard 6 on the telephone body 1 and the color of the incoming call display 2 side. This is performed while displaying information on the liquid crystal display unit 16. Calls made by directly entering the other party's phone number,
