Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a phone that has a function by which a user can confirm establishment/non-establishment of a call at a glance by having only to browse a history file. SOLUTION: The phone is provided with a trash box file 120 that registers only unestablished calls as a temporary waiting file in addition to a call transmission history file 130 that registers only conventional established calls. At the transmission of a call (100) whether or not the call is established is discriminated (110). When the call is established, it is registered in the transmission call history file 130 as history information. In the case that the call is unestablished in the step 110, the registration destination is revised to the trash box file 120. A user can browse contents registered and stored in the trash box file 120 by using a user interface. The call transmission history file 130 stores the history of valid established calls only in this way so as to avoid useless consumption of file storage areas.

[0003]

In the registration of outgoing / incoming calls in the history file of a conventional telephone as described with reference to FIG. 5, a call cannot be established due to, for example, an incorrect number or an absence of a destination at the time of calling. Also, or when the telephone is a mobile portable terminal and is out of the service area and a call cannot be made with the other party, all the transmitted information is registered as a history in the transmission history file. Therefore, there is a problem that even if the data has little value as information, all of the data is accumulated, and the storage area of the history file is wasted. Further, it was not possible to determine at a glance whether or not each of the history lists was a call that had been established simply by reading and browsing the history file. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and has as its object to provide a telephone capable of easily browsing an effective history.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a mobile portable terminal when a mobile portable terminal is used as a telephone to which the present invention is applied. The transmission / reception circuit unit 10 to which the antenna is connected is a circuit that performs transmission / reception processing in the mobile communication terminal under the control of the control unit 12 including a CPU. That is, the transmission / reception circuit unit 10 modulates a voice message, a text message, a control signal, or the like with a high frequency and sends it out of the antenna, or demodulates a voice message, a text message, or a control signal received from the antenna and outputs it to the control unit 12 I do.

The control unit 12 operates according to a control signal from the key operation unit 24 and the transmission / reception circuit unit 10 in accordance with a program stored in the flash memory 14, and controls the transmission / reception circuit unit 10, the LCD driver 18 and the audio processing unit 26. I do. Further, the control unit 12 is connected to the RAM 16,
The RAM 16 is used as a work area when executing a program stored in the flash memory 14. R
The AM 16 also stores learning function data, which is one of dictionary functions at the time of character input. The flash memory 14
It stores font information such as character messages and character patterns (including English and numeric characters) / icons (graphics) received from the message center, and is also used as a telephone directory memory to store a plurality of telephone numbers and names.

The LCD driver 18 drives the LCD display unit 22 according to the control of the control unit 12 to display the same.
That is, the LCD driver 18 reads a character pattern (including English and numeric characters) and an icon (graphic) pattern corresponding to the control signal from the control unit 12 from the flash memory 14 and displays the same on the LCD display unit 22. Voice processing unit 26
Is connected to the speaker 28 and the microphone 30 to perform processing for amplifying the audio signal input from the control unit 12 and outputting the amplified audio signal from the speaker 28, or amplifying the audio signal input from the microphone 30 and outputting the amplified audio signal to the control unit 12. .

The illumination 32 is controlled to be turned on and off by the control unit 12 when a key is pressed or an incoming call is received. When the light 32 is turned on, the key operation unit 24 and the LCD display unit 22 are brightly illuminated. The vibrator 34 is connected to the control unit 12, and the control unit 12
Under the control of, it vibrates at the time of an incoming call etc. to notify it. The ringer or speaker 36 is controlled by the control unit 12 and sounds at the time of an incoming call or the like to notify it. The incoming LED (incoming light emitting diode) 38 is connected to the control unit 12 and, under the control of the control unit 12, blinks at the time of an incoming call or the like to notify it. The incoming call LED 38 is usually provided at the upper end of the front surface of the mobile communication terminal, and the speaker 28 is provided below the terminal front surface, and the LDC display unit 22 is provided below the terminal front surface.

In the present invention, when registering the outgoing or incoming call history in the history file, attention is paid to whether or not the outgoing or incoming call is established. I try to make it. For example, when the display method is changed, all outgoing and incoming calls are stored in the history file regardless of whether or not the call is established as usual, but the display is changed. For example,
When the call is not established, the display is changed to red or the like. Thus, whether or not the call has been established can be easily recognized by looking at the display. Also, when changing the history collection method, for example, a recycle bin file is prepared as a temporary standby file, and for non-established calls, the storage destination is changed to this recycle bin file, and only established calls are registered in the history file. . As a result, only valid histories are registered in the history file.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an embodiment in which a non-established call is registered in another file. In this case, in addition to the transmission history file 130 for registering only normal established calls, a recycle bin file 120 for registering only non-established calls is provided as a temporary standby file. Then, it is determined whether or not the call has been established at the time of calling (step 100) (step 110). Outgoing call history file 1 when a call is established
30 is registered as history information. If the call is not established in step 110, the registration destination is changed to the trash box file 120. The content registered and stored in the trash box file 120 can be browsed using a user interface, and the screen 130 displays the browsed content. By adopting such an embodiment, the history of only valid established calls is stored in the transmission history file 130, so that the storage area of the file is not wasted. Further, the contents of the recycle bin file 120 can be read and browsed, which is convenient. The contents stored in the recycle bin file 120 can be deleted collectively when they are no longer needed or for each individual list.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, when a history is registered in the transmission history file 230, it is registered together with additional information indicating whether or not the call has been established. At the time of calling (step 200), it is determined whether or not the call has been established (step 210). Here, when the call is established, the call non-establishment flag is turned off as additional information, and when the call is established, the call non-establishment flag is turned on and both are registered and saved in the transmission history file 230. The screen 240 shows a state in which the contents of the outgoing call history file 230 are being browsed using the user interface. For a non-established call, for example, the display of a list indicating the non-established call is displayed in red or the like by additional information. be able to. Thus, it is possible to determine whether a call has been established or not by merely viewing the contents of the history file. As for the display mode, in addition to changing the color in accordance with the establishment / non-establishment of a call, for example, it is also possible to make the display shaded or blink.

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the transmission history file in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 in which a field for counting and storing the number of call failures is provided in the transmission history file. By configuring the outgoing call history file in this way, the number of non-successful calls can be counted for each predetermined call. There are various factors in the unsuccessful call, and it is conceivable that the other party has set the call rejection or the like. Therefore, this tally result can be used to notify the user when the ratio of non-establishment is large. In the above-described embodiment, the transmission history file has been described.
It goes without saying that the same configuration can be adopted for the incoming call history file.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, when registering the call and the call history, the call and the additional information indicating the establishment or non-establishment of the call are registered in the history file or the file to be registered is selected. With such a configuration, there is an advantage that the effective history of outgoing or incoming calls can be easily recognized.
